Special Supplication on the Day of Arafah
The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) emphasized the importance of supplication on this day. He said:
“The best supplication is the supplication on the Day of Arafah, and the best that I and the prophets before me have said is :
لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا ٱللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ ٱلْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ ٱلْحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
‘La ilaha illa Allah, wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul-mulk wa lahul-hamd wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadeer.'”
There is no deity but Allah alone, He has no partners. To Him belongs the dominion, and to Him belongs all praise, and He is over all things omnipotent.”
The 9th day of Dhul Hijjah is known as the Day of Arafah (Yawm al-Arafah. On that day, Hajj pilgrims gather in the plain of Arafah in Makkah, seeking forgiveness and supplicating to Allah.
A hadith narrated by Ayesha (RA), Allah’s Messenger ﷺ said: “On the day of Arafah, Allah (SWT) frees a larger number of His servants from Hell.”
Reference : [Sahih Muslim]
For those who are not performing Hajj, fasting on this day holds great rewards. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Fasting on the Day of Arafah absolves the sins of the previous year and the coming year.”
[Sahih Muslim]
It’s also important to offer more supplications (Dua) to the Almighty Allah (SWT) as The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “Dua on the day of Arafah is the best Dua.”
Reference : [Jami At-Tirmidhi]
