ย Recommended Schedule for the Day of Arafahย ๐
๐ฅSleep early the night before to energized yourself for worship on this special day
๐ฅWake up one hour before the Fajr time to eat Suhoor
๐ฅPray 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.
๐ฅSpend the remaining time before Fajr reciting Istighfar (asking Allah for forgiveness) so that you may be written as those who โโseek forgiveness before dawn.โ (51:18)
๐ฅGet ready for the Fajr by performing wudu and imagine your sins being forgiven with every last drop of water.
๐ฅSay the dua for the completion of wudu
๐ฅAttend Fajr in Masjid (or at home for women) and remain in your place until 15-20 minutes after sunrise.
๐ฅDuring this time, read Quran, make tasbeeh, tahleel, tahmeed, and takbeer (Allahu Akbar, la ilaha ila Allah, Alhamdulilah) and say the morning Adhkar.
๐ฅPray two rakat of sunrise so it is recorded for you the reward of hajj and umrah (in sha Allah).
๐ฅOn your way walking to/from the mosque, give charity to anyone in need.
๐ฅIf you are able to stay awake and continue with making dua, reading Quran and lots of Dhikr then do so.
๐ฅOr, 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.
๐ฅAfter you wake up, make wudu and pray 2 rakat or more of Duha prayer (this can be prayed 15-20 min before Duhr)
๐ฅย Pray the Duhr with the included sunnah prayers (4 rakat before Duhr and 2 after)

La ilaha ila Allah wahdahu la sharika lah, lahu al-mulk wa lahu al-hamd, wa huwa `ala kulli shayโin 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).
๐ฅListen to the Arafah speech if you are able to
๐ฅPray the Asr and recite the evening Adhkar
