Last Moments in the Life of the Rasul (Allah bless him and give him peace)

A reader mentioned the death of the blessed Rasul (Allah bless him and give him peace) also being on the 12th of Rabi al-'Awwal. The birth and death of the Beloved of Allah were a Mercy, and in both are lessons for those who reflect.

Sunni Sister has posted a wonderful piece on Reflections on the Prophet: Upon His Death (peace be upon him).

I also *highly* recommend a lecture by Shaykh Mokhtar Maghraoui on Last Moments in the Life of the Rasul (Allah bless him and give him peace). It was his concluding talk at the RIS Conference this year where he moved himself and the audience to tears, at times trembling at the lectern himself. Check out the link to get a copy of the talk.
