‘Ā`ishah رضي الله عنها: “There is no day of the year that I love to fast MORE than the day of ‘Arafah.”

● [صحيح ، ابن الجعد ٥١٢]

The Prophet [ﷺ] said about fasting on the day of ’Arafah for those not performing the Haj:

❝It expiates sins of the previous year as well as the following year.❞

● [Reported By Muslim, (No. 1250)]

Du’a by ‘Ali on the day of ‘Arafah:

“Oh Allaah! Free me from the fire, increase my halal sustenance, and keep the transgressive jinns and humans away from me.”

✒ What Du'ā To Recite On The Day Of 'Arafah | Repeat This A Lot

قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : خير الدعاء دعاء يوم عرفة وخير ما قلت أنا والنبيون من قبلي لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له له الملك وله الحمد وهو على كل شيء قدير

The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “The best of supplication is supplication on the day of ‘Arafah and best is what I say and the Prophets before me said;

'Laa Ilaaha Illallaahu Waḥdahoo Laa Shareeka Lahoo, Lahul Mulku Walahul Ḥamdu Wahuwa 'Alaa Kulli Shay`in Qadeer’

(There is none worthy of worship except Allāh, and He is alone, He has no partner, to Him belongs the supreme authority and praise and He is able to do all things).”

أخرجه الترمذي ٣٥٨٥ ، وهو حسن لغيره ، كما قال العلامة الألباني رحمه الله]

Imaam An-Nawawee [رحمه الله] stated:

❝It has reached us from Saalim bin ‘Abdillaah bin ‘Umar [رضي الله عنه], that he saw a petitioner asking from the people on the day of ‘Arafah, so he said: ‘O feeble one! On this day is other than Allaah, The Mighty and Majestic to be asked from?’❞

Use this book to help prepare you for tomorrow the day of Arafah.

Where The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The best supplication is that which is made on the day of Arafat.The best of it is what was said by myself and the Prophets before me, ‘There is no God but Allah alone, without any partners, unto Him belongs the dominion and all praise, and He has power over all things.’”

"So what does a woman desire, whether it is her worldly affairs or her Hereafter, when she displays herself, when she reveals her beauty, when she intermingles with men, and when she purposely tries to put them to trial and get their attention.

What good does she desire with these types of actions, and what type of virtue does she hope for?! Certainly, it is, by Allāh a tremendous loss, major evil, and widespread trial. [...]"

Be Patient Against Abuse

Prophet Muḥammad Ṣallallāhu-'Alaihi Wa Sallam said:

“And if a person reviles you and dishonors you with what he knows of you then DO NOT degrade him (back) with what you know of him for the curse (of abuse) will ONLY BE UPON HIM.”

[سنن أبي داود ٤٠٨٤ ، صححه الألباني]

Shaykh Muḥammad Ibn Ṣāliḥ al-‘Uthaymīn رحمه الله said: "Indeed knowledge is from the best acts of worship and is one of the greatest and most beneficial of it. Hence, you will find Shayṭān keeping people away from (seeking) knowledge."

‎ [فتاوى نور على الدرب ١٢/٢]

Sheikh al Fawzan حفظه الله said,

"It's Impermissible to rock back and forward when reading Qur'an, that is from habits of People of the Book (i.e Jews).”

[Al Ijabat al Muhimmah pg. 88]

Now that the sun is coming out...

Sadly, there are also those who encourage our sisters to loosen their hijabs, and compromise the conditions of the Legislated Hijab because of the heat of the Summer.

⚠️ 𝗦𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿𝘀, 𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗝𝗮𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗮𝗺 𝗶𝘀 𝗵𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝘆 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹 𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝘂𝗻𝘆𝗮!

Those who discourage others in fulfilling their rights towards Allāh because it may cause inconvenience, and laugh at those who strive to continue to obey Allāh to the best of their ability in such conditions such as severe heat, know that this is the characteristic of the hypocrites!

TOP TIPS📌:

- Stay in your house!
- If necessary to leave the house, cover all parts of your body adhering to the correct hijab.
- Wear SPF 15+ even if you are wearing the niqab.
- Wear lighter fabrics that are breathable and extra loose.
- Stay hydrated

May Allāh make every drop of sweat that comes out of our skin due to observing the correct jilbab in the heat heavy on our scales on the day of judgement.
