In the last days of Safar of Year 11 after the Hijrah (11 AH), the illness began with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. This marked the start of the final stage of his noble life.
It marks the beginning of the end of the Prophetic biography in this world and its transition to the events of his death and what followed.
And in the last days of Safar of that year: the illness began with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.
What this means is that the Prophet ﷺ became ill in the last days of Safar of Year 11 after the Hijrah (11 AH). This was the first sign of the illness that continued until his death.
The state changed from health to illness, and the stage of final illness began, along with the special instructions and conditions that came with it.
The beginning of the final stage of the life of the Prophet ﷺ
It prepares for the events of farewell and the final instructions
The actual leadership of the الأمة moves to a stage of preparation for what comes after death
It affected the community of Muslims and made them feel that departure was near
It reminds us of the shortness of this world and the need to prepare for the Hereafter
It represents a moment of transition from the presence of the Prophet ﷺ to the continuation of the Message after him
The beginning of arranging what comes after death in the Muslim community
The patient with whom the illness began
A reminder that prophets are human beings who fall ill and die
Patience and steadfastness in hardship
The unity of the community when its leader is ill
The need to prepare for a transfer of leadership
Teaching the community that the end is real and that work for the Hereafter remains
The importance of having a system that continues after the leader is gone
The continuity of the Message after the end of its bearer’s life
A leader or founder falls ill and responsibility begins to shift
Prepare early for transition and do not tie the survival of the work to one person
Building institutional continuity
Organizing the stages of transition with calm and steadiness
Being ready for the Hereafter and not being deceived by health
It is limited to the general lesson, without analogy that changes the unique nature of the prophetic event
The prophetic event is tied to the closing of revelation and the Message, while the modern one is only an administrative or leadership transition
When signs of a leader’s weakness begin, continuity plans should be activated
