HADITH OF THE DAY
ISLAM – PERFECT RELIGION
Narrated by Umar bin Al-Khattab
Once a Jew said to me, ”O the chief of Believers! There is a verse in your Holy Book which is read by all of you (Muslims), and had it been revealed to us, we would have taken that day (on which it was revealed) as a day of celebration.” Umar bin Al-Khattab asked, “Which is that verse?” The Jew replied,
“This day I have perfected your religion For you, completed My favour upon you, And have chosen for you Islam as your religion.” (Al-Ma’idah verse 3)
Umar replied, “No doubt, we know when and where this verse was revealed to the Prophet. It was Friday and the Prophet was standing at Arafat (i.e. the Day of Hajj)”
