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

MUHARRAM THE MONTH OF ALLAH

 MUHARRAM THE MONTH OF ALLAH The month of Allah, al-Muharram, is a great and blessed month. It is the first month of the Hiri year and is one of the sacred months. Literally meaning 'forbidden', Muharram is one of the four sacred months (Dhul Haji, Dhul Qa'dah, and Rajab). According to the Islamic teachings, the month of Muharram is so sacred that certain actions become forbidden during it, as they violate its sanctity. You can better understand the significance It is a month when the rewards for good deeds are multiplied; when the Prophet (saw) encouraged voluntary fasts and described it as the 'sacred month of Allah' What does the Quran say about Muharram?  Verily, the number of months with Allah is twelve months (in a year), so was it ordained by Allah on the Day when He created the heavens and the earth; of them, four are Sacred, (i.e., the 1st, the 7th, the 11th and the 12th months of the Islamic calendar). That is the right religion, so wrong, not yourselves t...

About MATAM IN ISLAM RIGHT OR WRONG

 About MATAM IN ISLAM RIGHT OR WRONG Matm is a ritual done by Shia Muslims on 10th of Ashoora, in the grief of the Martyr Hussain رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ To show their grief they mourn and harm themselves by striking sword on their body or slapping their face and beating their chest. This action of their is unapproved from the Islamic Sources (The Quran & Sunnah) and it is considered as Haram and Bidah (Innovation). The Prophet did not do them, nor did any of his companions. None of his companions did them when he or anyone else died, although the loss of prophet Muhammad was greater than the death of Hussain  رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ.

(Sahih Bukhari : 1294) Infact these Shia do matm just as a showoff, because the loss of  Hussain (رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ) is a lesser loss than the...
