'Arafah Day'

Assalamualaikum….good morning

Today, is a special day…do you know why? Ok, I will give a hint. It is one of the most important days in the Islamic calendar which falls on 9th of Zulhijjah. So, anyone knows? Actually today is the ‘Arafah Day’. It is the day when pilgrims stand on the plain of Arafah to pray, while other Muslims all over the world who do not do the Hajj should spend the day in fasting. Fasting on this day is expiation for two years of sins.

It was reported from Abu Qutaadah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was asked about fasting on the Day of ‘Arafaah. He said, “It expiates for the sins of the previous year and of the coming year.” Narrated by Muslim.




So, let’s fasting today and try to get forgiveness from Allah...:) 

p/s: hopefully, i can go there (Makkah) sooner ....:)
