Recommended Schedule for the Day of Arafah 🌄

 

💥Sleep early the night before to energized yourself for worship on this special day

 

💥Wake up one hour before the Fajr time to eat Suhoor

 

💥Pray at least 4 rakat of night prayers and supplicate to Allah while in a state of sujood and thank Him for allowing you to witness this blessed day and ask Him to give you success on this day.

 

💥Spend the remaining time before Fajr reciting Istighfar (asking Allah for forgiveness) so that you may be written as those who ‘’seek forgiveness before dawn.” (51:18)

 

💥Get ready for the Fajr by performing wudu and imagine your sins being forgiven with every last drop of water.

 

💥Say the dua for the completion of wudu

 

💥Attend Fajr in Masjid (or at home for women) and remain in your place until 15-20 minutes after sunrise.

 

💥During this time, read Quran, make tasbeeh, tahleel, tahmeed, and takbeer (Allahu Akbar, la ilaha ila Allah, Alhamdulilah) and say the morning Adhkar.

 

💥Pray two rakat of sunrise so it is recorded for you the reward of hajj and umrah (in sha Allah).

 

💥On your way walking to/from the mosque, give charity to anyone in need.

 

💥If you are able to stay awake and continue with making dua, reading Quran and lots of Dhikr then do so.

 

💥Or, if you prefer to take a nap during this time, make the intention of doing so to re-energize yourself for the worship of Allah.

 

💥After you wake up, make wudu and pray 2 rakat or more of Duha prayer (this can be prayed 15-20 min before Duhr)

 

💥 Pray the Duhr with the included sunnah prayers (4 rakat before Duhr and 2 after)

 

💥Increase the recommended dhikr of the day of Arafah:

 

لا اله الا الله وحده لا شريك له، له الملك وله الحمد، وهو على كل شيء قدير

La ilaha ila Allah wahdahu la sharika lah, lahu al-mulk wa lahu al-hamd, wa huwa `ala kulli shay’in qadir
(There is no god worthy of worship but Allah, alone, without partner. His is the sovereignty, and His the praise, and He has power over everything).

 

💥Listen to the Arafah speech if you are able to

 

💥Pray the Asr and recite the evening Adhkar

 

💥Read as much Quran as possible and especially increase you dua before the adhan of the Magrhib. Pray for yourself, loved ones and the Ummah.

 

💥Make dua that the sun of Arafah doesn’t set until you are saved from the Hell-fire.

 

💥Break your fast on an odd number of dates.

 

May Allah accept from us all
