INTRODUCTION

The day of Arafah is one of the most important days for Muslims, as Allah

(SWT), in Surah al-Maidah of the Holy Qur’an, refers to the Day of Arafah
as the Day on which He perfected His religion, completed His favours upon

His beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAW), and approved Islam as a way of

life!

After praying fajr salat in Mina, you’ll then head to the plains of Arafah,

reciting istaghfar [asking for forgiveness] and making supplications, marking

the Day of Arafah when we ask Allah (SWT) for forgiveness for our sins.

Upon reaching the plains of Mount Arafah, pilgrims observe dhuhr and asr

prayers combined and shortened (two rakat instead of four).

On this day there, will be a sermon delivered from Masjid al-Nimra on

Mount Arafah. Remember to listen to the khutbah if possible. Your group

may also facilitate a translation of this sermon in English.

The Prophet (SAW) also said:

“There is no day on which Allah frees people from the Fire more so than on

the day of ‘Arafah. He comes close to those (people standing on ‘Arafah),

and then He reveals before His Angels saying, ‘What are these people

seeking.” (Muslim)
So, be sure to stand on the plains of Arafah and make lots of du’a, focussing

your energy on Allah (SWT), asking Him for forgiveness and blessings for

you and your family. Don’t forget to include your friends, relatives,

neighbours as well as the wider Ummah in your du’a on this special day.

Don’t be tempted to exhaust your energy and trek up Mount Arafah, also

known as Jabal al-Rahmah, on this day. Jabal al-Rahmah is the hill from

where Prophet Muhammad (SAW) delivered his sermon. There is no

authentic source to suggest any benefit in trekking the hill itself or to

undertake this climb as a religious ritual. The level area surrounding the hill

is called the Plains of Arafah and this is where you should be spending your

time in contemplation and prayer.
