A hadith of Muhammad (pbuh)
The Final Moments of Muhammad (pbuh) Life Muslims believe that the revelation of the Qur’an continued for 23 years, until shortly before Muhammad’s death in 632 CE. He is believed to have recited the final verse during a sermon on his farewell pilgrimage. By that time, the Qur’an had already been memorized by many of Muhammad’s followers, recited in his presence, and written down by secretaries. It is this complete Quran which is the most important source of guidance for Muslim.
