🕋 The Day of Arafah 🕋

According to a hadith attributed to Imam Sadiq (p), the Day of Arafah is “the day of supplication and making requests from God” [“Ilal al-sharai,” v. 2, p. 73]. Here is a simple guide to help you get ready for this once-a-year opportunity.

🕌 Try to fast 🕌

Fasting on the Day of Arafah is recommended (mustahabb) unless it makes one too weak to make dua. Imam Ali (p) is reported to have said, “If one fasts on the Day of Arafah seeking its reward, it is as if he has fasted for all of time” [“Daaim al-islam,” v. 1, p. 284].

🕌 Ghusl 🕌

Making ghusl at noon is recommended, “wherever you may be,” per a hadith attributed to Imam Sadiq (p), so not just for those at Arafat while on Hajj [“Wasail al-Shia,” v. 3, p. 309]. Sayyid Sistani mentions the ghusl of the Day of Arafah among the ghusls that are firmly established, and thus, it takes the place of wudu.

🕌 The duas of Arafah of the third and fourth Imams (pbut) 🕌

There are two beautiful duas referred to as “the Dua of Arafah,” one attributed to Imam Husayn (p), which can be found in books of dua like “Mafatih al-Jinan,” and the other to Imam Zayn al-‘Abidin (p), which can be found in “Al-Sahifa al-Sajjadiyya.” Since they are both longer duas, you may not have time to recite both, but try to read at least one of them, as they are lessons in monotheism and servitude toward God.
