Prophetic Care for Social Security through Farewell Pilgrimage Sermon

Abstract

This study aims to highlight preserving social security importance and role in maintaining a healthy societal structure. It also seeks to elucidate the profound lessons drawn from Prophet Mohammed’s sermon during his Farewell Pilgrimage, emphasizing the significance of adhering to his advice to uplift and safeguard our communities. The study is divided into an introduction, two main sections, and a conclusion. The first section discusses the concept of social security, while the second section focuses on social security in the Farewell Pilgrimage sermon. The descriptive and analytical approach was employed. The key findings showed that the need for security was fundamental for the continuity of life, the preservation of community security, and the development of the earth entrusted by God to His servants. It was also revealed that the absence of security stemmed from a society abandoning the essentials of life, namely safeguarding individual security, national security, and family security. Correct understanding of religion was asserted in applying the sound concepts established by the Prophet of this nation centuries ago. Achieving social security necessitated understanding societal responsibilities and required the collective effort of all to realize this goal.
