To help you make the most of this special day, here are a few preparation tips:
-
Fasting: It is highly recommended to fast on the Day of Arafah. The Prophet said, "It expiates the sins of the previous year and the coming year."
-
Dua and Supplication: Increase your supplications. The best dua is the dua on the Day of Arafah.( - None has the right to be worshipped except Allah, alone, without partner. To Him belongs sovereignty and all praise and He is over all things omnipotent.)
