The Blessed Day of Arafah

 

The Blessed Day of Arafah

1. It is the day on which
the religion was
perfected and
Allah's Favour was
completed
Allah says:
"This day I have
perfected your religion for you,
completed My favour upon you, and
have chosen for you Islam as your
religion." (al-Maa'idah 53),
'Umar said, "We know on which day
and in which place that was
revealed to the Prophet ﷺ. It was
when he was standing in Arafaah
on a Friday." Saheeh Bukhari & Muslim

2. It is a dav of Eid
for the people who are in
that place.
The Prophet ﷺ) said: "the day of
'Arafaah, the Day of Sacrifice and
Ayvaam al-Tashreeq (the 3 days
following the Day of Sacrifice)
are Eid (festival) for us, the people
of Islam. These are days of eating
and drinking.
Al-Thirmidhi

3. It is a day by
which Allah swore
an oath.
The Almighty cannot swear by anything
except that which is mighty. Yawm
"'Arafaah is the "witnessed day" mentioned
in the aayah
"By the witnessing day
[Friday] and by the witnessed day [the
Day of 'Arafaah]." lal-Buroj) B53).
The Prophet ﷺ said: "The promised day is
the Day of Resurrection, the witnessed
day is the Day of "Arafaah, and the
witnessing day is Friday." al-Tirmidhi saheen

4. Fasting on this day is an expiation for two years.
The Prophet ﷺ said:
"fasting on the Day of 'Arafaah
expiates for the sins of the
previous year and of the coming
year. Saheen Muslim.
This (fasting) is mustahabb for
those who are not on Hajj. In the
case of the one who is on Hajj, it is
not Sunnah for him to fast on the
Day of "Arafaah, because the
Prophet ﷺ) did not fast on this
day inrafaah. It was narrated that
he forbade fasting on the Day of
"Arafaah in 'Arafaah.

5. It is the day on which Allaah
took the covenant
from the progeny of Adam.
The Prophet ﷺ said: "Allaah took the
covenant from the loins of Adam in
Na'maan, i.e., 'Arafaah. He brought
forth from his loins all his offspring
and spread them before Him, then He
addressed them, and said: "Am I not
your Lord? They said, 'Yes, we testify.
Musnad Ahmad | sahech by al-Albaani.

6. It is the day of forgiveness of
sins, freedom from
the Fire and pride in the people
who are there:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "There is no day
on which Allah frees more people
from the Fire than the Dav of 'Arafaah. He comes
close and expresses His pride to the angels,
saying, What do these people want?'
and, Allah expresses His pride to His angels at
the time of 'Ishaa' on the Day of "Arafaah, about
the people of "Arafaah. He says, 'Look at My
slaves who have come unkempt and dusty'
Narrated by Muslim and Ahmad and classed as saheeh

WHY DO WE FAST THE DAY OF ASHURA?

  WHY DO WE FAST THE DAY OF ASHURA? WHY DO WE FAST THE DAY OF ASHURA  REASON  WHY PROPHET MUHAMMAD ﷺ FASTED THE DAY OF AASHOORAA, IT'S THE GREAT DAY WHEN ALLAH SAVED MOSA عليه السلام AND HIS PEOPLE, AND DROWNED PHARAOH AND HIS PEOPLE. MOSA عليه السلام FASTED ON THIS DAY IN GRATITUDE TO ALLAH SUBHANAWATAALA. SO WE MUST FAST IT OUT OF RESPECT FOR IT. FASTING THE DAY OF 'ASHOORA' EXPIATES SINS FOR THE PAST YEAR. NARRATED BY MUSLIM1162. THE PROPHET MUHAMMADﷺ SAID: "FASTING THE DAY OF "'ASHOORA' I HOPE ALLAAH WILL EXPIATE THEREBY FOR THE YEAR THAT CAME BEFORE IT.” PROPHET MUHAMMAD ﷺ WAS KEEN TO FAST THIS DAY SAHIH BUKHARI 1902 THE PROPHET MUHAMMAD ﷺ USED TO BE VERY KEEN TO MAKE SURE HE FASTED ON THE DAY OF 'ASHOORA' BECAUSE OF ITS GREAT STATUS. RECOMMENDED TO FAST BOTH 9TH AND 10TH SAHIH MUSLIM 1134 THERE ARE DIFFERENT WAYS OF FASTING'ASHOORA', THE LEAST OF WHICH IS TO FAST  THE TENTH ONLY, BUT IT IS BETTER TO FAST THE NINTH AS WELL.
