The Virtue of the Day of Arafa
Fasting on Arafa expiates the sins of the past and the coming year
The Day of Arafa, the 9th of Dhul-Hijja, is the greatest pillar of Hajj. The Prophet ﷺ said: "Hajj is Arafa." For those not on Hajj, fasting this day expiates the sins of the previous year and the year to come (Muslim). It is a day of supplication; the best du'a is: "There is no god but Allah, alone with no partner. To Him belongs all dominion and praise, and He has power over all things."
