On the Day of Arafah, 9th Zulhijjah, it is highly recommended to fast for those not performing Hajj, as the Prophet ﷺ said, “It expiates the sins of the previous year and the coming year” (Muslim).
This day is a blessed opportunity for spiritual growth—engage in extra prayers and read Quran, dhikr (including tahlil “La ilaha illallah”, takbir “Allahu Akbar”, tahmid “Alhamdulillah”, and tasbih “Subhanallah”), and sincere du’a. Make du’a sincerely, especially in the late afternoon before Maghrib, asking Allah for forgiveness, guidance, and all that your heart desires.
If you are on Hajj, stand in Arafah from dhuhr to sunset, engaging in dua and dhikr with deep humility and hope in Allah’s mercy. Remember us in your du’as.
Don’t miss this special day of worship and reflection, seeking Allah’s mercy, forgiveness, and blessings, as He promises forgiveness for those who sincerely repent.
May Allah accept all your du’as and good deeds, and forgive all your sins on this blessed day.
