Fasting on the Day of Arafah is a highly virtuous and recommended act in Islam, particularly for those who are not performing Hajj.

🌙 What is the Day of Arafah?

It is the 9th day of Dhul-Hijjah, the day before Eid al-Adha.

It is the most significant day of Hajj, when pilgrims stand in worship at the plain of Arafah.

🕋 Virtue of Fasting on Arafah (for non-pilgrims)

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:

“Fasting on the Day of Arafah, I hope from Allah, expiates for the sins of the year before and the year after.”
(Sahih Muslim, 1162)

✅ Who Should Fast?

Highly recommended for Muslims not performing Hajj.

Not recommended for pilgrims on Hajj, especially on the plain of Arafah, as the Prophet ﷺ himself did not fast on that day during Hajj.

💡 Wisdoms Behind the Fast

It connects you spiritually to the pilgrims, even if you are far away.

It is a day when Allah frees people from the Hellfire more than any other day (Sahih Muslim).

A chance for intense du'a, dhikr, and forgiveness.

On the Day of Arafah, there is a special emphasis on du‘ā (supplication), dhikr (remembrance of Allah), and seeking forgiveness.

🕋 Best Thing to Say on the Day of Arafah

The Prophet ﷺ said:

“The best supplication is the supplication on the Day of Arafah, and the best that I and the Prophets before me have said is:

لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ، وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ، وَهُوَ عَلَىٰ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ

Lā ilāha illa Allāh waḥdahū lā sharīka lah, lahul-mulku wa lahul-ḥamdu wa huwa ‘alā kulli shay’in qadīr.

“There is no god but Allah, alone, without partner. To Him belongs the dominion and all praise, and He is over all things capable.”
(Tirmidhi, 3585)

💬 Other Recommended Sayings and Practices

1. Make Plenty of Du‘ā

Ask Allah for forgiveness, guidance, provision, and Paradise.

Supplicate for yourself, your family, the Ummah, and those suffering around the world.

2. Istighfar (Seeking Forgiveness)

أَسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ الَّذِي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ
Astaghfirullāha alladhī lā ilāha illā huwa al-ḥayyul-qayyūm wa atūbu ilayh.

“I seek forgiveness from Allah, the One besides whom there is no god, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer, and I repent to Him.”

3. Tahmid, Takbir, Tahlil, Tasbih

SubḥānAllāh (Glory be to Allah)

Alḥamdulillāh (All praise is due to Allah)

Allāhu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest)

Lā ilāha illā Allāh (There is no god but Allah)

These are the best dhikr especially in the first 10 days of Dhul-Hijjah, and especially on the Day of Arafah.
