What To Do On Arafat Day
Suggested schedule for the Day of Arafah
Insha Allah:
1. Sleep early the night before to
strengthen yourself for the special day.
2. Wake up before Fajr for suhoor.
3. Make wudoo, while consciously
remembering that your sins are being
washed away til the last drop of water.
Pray at least 4 rakahs of qiyam and make
duaa for your deen & dunya in your
sujood. Cry to Allah, showing Him humility
& ask Him to give you tawfeeq on this great
day, and thank Him for making you of
those who would experience this special
occasion.
4. Spend some time (10-15 mins at least)
making Istighfar before Fajr, to be like the
righteous whom Allah described as “seeking
forgiveness before dawn.”
5. Repeat after Fajr adhan & make duaa.
Pray Fajr. Sit in your prayer place and do
your morning adhkar. Make tasbeeh,
tahleel, tahmeed, & takbeer. And as the
Prophet Muhammad (Sallal laahu alaihi wa
sallam) advised, increase in “la ilaha
illallah, wahdahu la shareeka lahu, lahul
mulk wa lahul hamd, wa huwa ala kulli
shay’in qadeer.”
6. 15 minutes after sunrise pray 2 rakahs of
shurooq. This all amounts to the reward of
a complete Hajj & umrah. So do not waste
it!
7. If you’re able to stay awake by all means,
do so and do not waste a single minute. If
you need to sleep, take a nap for an hour
with the conscious intention of energizing
yourself for the worship of Allah.
8. When you wake up, make wudoo and
pray at least 4 rakahs of duha. Then recite
lots of Quran and make the dhikr
mentioned above in breaks in between.
(Make dhikr after Dhuhr as you prepare
food or as you do what is absolutely
necessary.)
9. After Asr, say the evening adhkar. Then
recite Quran again til about an hour
before Maghrib. At that point, make LOTS
of duaa til Maghrib, while having yaqeen
that Allah will answer. (Preparing a duaa
list ahead of time helps!) Beg that the day
will not come to an end except that Allah
has forgiven you all your sins and written
you of those He has freed from the Fire.
Don’t forget the Muslims suffering all over
the world.
10. its preferred you wear white
cloth
Remember as you break your fast that your
duaa at that moment is accepted.
May Allah grant us all tawfeeq on that day.
