Forgiveness of Past & Future Sins
Fasting on the day of arafah forgives past and future sins. Prophet ﷺ when asked about fasting on the day of Arafah, said, “It expiates the sins (minor) of the past year and the coming year.” (Muslim)
💎 Allāh ﷻ Releases Souls from Hell on This Day
Prophet ﷺ stated, “There is no day in which Allah sets free more souls from the fire of hell than on the day of Arafah.” (Muslim)
💎 It Is the Sunnah of Prophet ﷺ
Hafsah (RA), the wife of Prophet ﷺ said, “Four things the Messenger of Allah ﷺ never neglected: Observing fast on the day of Ashura, Arafah, three days every month, and offering Fajr Sunnah prayers early in the morning.” (Muslim)
💎 It Is the Essence of Hajj
Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said “Hajj is Arafah.” (Nasai) This means that one’s Hajj won’t be completed if they don’t visit Mount Arafat. So, for those who cannot perform Hajj, fasting on the day of Arafah is a way of renewing their promise to Allāh ﷻ & committing to starting fresh.
💎The Religion of Islam was Perfected on This Day
On this day, Allāh ﷻ revealed to Prophet ﷺ “This day I have completed your religion for you, perfected my favour upon you, and have chosen Islam as your religion.” ( Quran, Al-Ma'idah: 3) Hence, fasting on the day of Arafah is a way to celebrate this monumental occasion.
💎Is Fasting On the Day of Arafah Compulsory?
The Day of Arafah is one of the most important days in the Islamic calendar. Even though it’s not compulsory to fast on this day, it is highly recommended, especially for those not performing pilgrimage (Hajj).
