The Best Day of the Year: Make the Most of Arafah Day

The 9th of Dhul Hijjah is the greatest day in the Islamic calendar. You don't need to be in Makkah to earn its reward.

The Best Day of the Year: Make the Most of Arafah Day

While millions of pilgrims stand on the plains of Arafah in prayer and tears, Allah descends to the lowest heaven and boasts of them to His angels. The Prophet ﷺ said: "There is no day on which Allah frees more people from the Fire than the Day of Arafah." This day is not only the heart of Hajj. It is a gift extended to every Muslim on earth.

Fill your tongue with dhikr from the morning. The Prophet ﷺ said the best supplication is the supplication of the Day of Arafah, and the best words are:


لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
