Fasting the Day of 'Arafah

Would you like your MINOR sins to be wiped out for two years?  NOW is the time! Let’s try to fast as many of the first nine days of Dhul-Hijjah as possible, and make an extra effort to fast the Day of ‘Arafah.

It is related in Sahih Muslim from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the
Messenger of Allah (may peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was questioned about the fast on the day of `Arafah. He said: It is an expiation for the sins of the preceding year and the coming one.

We should also sincerely ask Allah for forgiveness for mistakes on this day as the Prophet said: Allah sets more people free from Hell on the Day of Arafah than on any other day (Muslim).

Dar-us-Salaam has arranged a Community Iftar on the Day of Arafah. Everyone is encouraged to fast this day and invited to join this Iftar. Please convey the message and may Allah (subhanahu wa ta’ala) reward us all.
