The Blessed Month of Dhul Hijjah - PART 6

                     الصلوۃ والسلام علیک یا سیدی یارسول اللہ

As-Salamu'Alaykum WaRahmatullahi WaBarakatuh,

• 
  The Day of Arafah is a day of Eid for the people who are in that place:

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Yawm ‘Arafaah (the day of ‘Arafaah), Yawm al-Nahr (the Day of Sacrifice) and Ayyaam al-Tashreeq (the 3 days following Yawm al-Nahr) are Eid (festival) for us, the people of Islam. These are days of eating and drinking.” 

[This was narrated by the authors of al-Sunan]

It was reported that ‘Umar ibn al-Khattaab (may Allah (سبحانه و تعالى) be pleased with him) said: “It – i.e., the aayah ‘This day I have perfected…’ was revealed on a Friday, the Day of ‘Arafaah, both of which – praise be to Allaah – are Eids for us.” 

• Fasting on this day (day of Arafah) is an expiation for two years:
  
  It was reported from Abu Qutaadah (may Allah (سبحانه و تعالى) be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (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.” 
  [Muslim Shareef - Volume 1, page 97]

-Another Hadith states that:
"The Fast of 'Arafah is an expiation for sins of two (2) whole years"

-Another Hadith states that:
"The Fast of 'Arafah is equal to 1000 fasts"

This (fasting) is mustahabb (preferable) 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 (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not fast on this day in ‘Arafaah. It was narrated that he forbade fasting on the Day of ‘Arafaah in ‘Arafaah.

As it is said,

"Dua is a True Muslim's Weapon",
Remember me in your Duas...
