The Day of Arafat â the most blessed day of the year is here. Here's how we can make the most of it inshallah â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â [Haute Hijab Logo]( [Ramadan Mubarak] Salam , Do you feel that? Peace...salaam. We are in the most blessed of days, and tomorrow, the holiest and most blessed of them all â the Day of Arafah. The day in which Allah (S) forgives all who come to Him. The day in which all the pilgrims in Hajj spend on Mount Arafah in worship, dua, and repentance. The Prophet (S) said of this day, âThere is no day on which Allah frees people from the Fire more so than on the day of 'Arafah. He draws near and then He revels before His Angels saying, âWhat are these servants seeking?ââ [Muslim] What an opportunity! But what about those of us who arenât at Hajj? We are still blessed with the opportunity to reap the rewards of this day. Hereâs what you can do: 1. Fast
The Prophet (S) recommends that we fast on this day: âIt (fasting on the Day of Arafah) expiates the sins of the past year and the coming year.â [Muslim] It goes without saying â if you are unable to fast, Allah (S) knows your circumstances and He is the most just and merciful. Do not fret, you can still take part in all other aspects of worship inshallah. 2. Repent
If there is one theme for this day, it is forgiveness. Allah (S) forgives those who seek Him and sincerely repent on this day â and if you are fasting, donât forget that your sins will inshallah be expiated for the previous AND coming year. 3. Make Dua
This is the tiiiiime for dua, sis. The Prophet (S) said of this day: âIn it, there is an hour in which no believing worshipper makes a supplication to Allah for good, except that Allah answers it for him, and he does not seek Allahâs protection from evil, except that He protects him from it.â [Tirmidhi] Ask Allah (S) for anything and everything you can ever want, both for this life and the next. Remember, no matter how difficult you think your asks might be, your problems are not, and will never be, bigger than your Lord, so donât hold back in your duas. Ask for the biggest and the best and the boldest of your dreams â and make dua for others as well. Keep your parents, your loved ones, and the greater ummah in your prayers. 4. Remember Allah (S) through Thikr
This is a great way to worship when you canât escape from lifeâs responsibilities. While you work, make thikr. The Prophet (S) said, âDuring [the 10 days of Thul Hijjah] recite a great deal of tahleel, takbeer, and tahmeed.â This means to say La ilaha illa Allah, Allahu Akbar, and Alhamdulillah. Another one recommended to say on this day is: Ùا٠إÙÙÙÙ٠إÙÙاÙ٠اÙÙÙÙÙÙ ÙÙØÙدÙÙÙ Ùا٠شÙرÙÙÙÙ ÙÙÙÙØ ÙÙÙ٠اÙÙÙ

ÙدÙØ ÙÙÙÙÙ٠عÙÙÙÙ ÙÙÙÙÙ Ø´ÙÙÙØ¡Ù ÙÙدÙÙر٠La ilaha illa Allah, wahdahu la shareeka lah, lahu al-mulk wa lahu alhamd, wa huwa âala kulli shayâin qadeer "There is no god but Allah, the One, having no partner with Him. Sovereignty belongs to Him and all the praise is due to Him, and He is Potent over everything." The Day of Arafah is not a day to pass up on. Dig deep and find it in yourself to fast and worship as much as you can. If you feel your heart isnât up to it, pray that Allah (S) opens your heart up to Him, and He will. Go to Him always, no matter your state. Even if you canât find the words or the tears or youâre not feeling inspired, go to Him anyway. He is there, His mercy is there, ready for you. May Allah (S) make us of those who make the most of this day and are forgiven of all our sins. May He accept all of our fasting, worship, and duas, and may we all one day get to perform Hajj inshallah. With love for His sake,Â
