Here, Sheikh Mokhtar Maghraoui talks about the last moments in the life of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) focusing on the vital importance of offering prayer in Islam as it was the last words the Prophet mentioned before his death.

O Allah’s Messenger,’ He again said, ‘Put water in a trough for me.’ He sat down and took a bath and tried to get up but fainted again. Then he recovered and said, ‘Have the people prayed?’ We replied, ‘No, they are waiting for you. O Allah’s Messenger.’ He said, ‘Put water for me in the trough.’ Then he sat down and washed himself and tried to get up but he fainted. When he recovered, he asked, ‘Have the people prayed?’ We said, ‘No, they are waiting for you. O Allah’s Messenger!
