| The day of Arafah is one of the most sacred days of the Islamic Calendar. On this day Allah invites his servants towards his worship and obedience, and spreads his bounties and blessings. Imam Zaynul Abidin (as) says about this great day: "O God, this is the day of Arafah a day which you have made noble, given honor and magnified within it. You have spread your mercy, showed kindness through your pardon, made plentiful your giving and by it you have been gracious towards your servants." (Sahifa as-Sajjadiyyah, Du'a no. 47) It is also narrated that once Imam saw a man begging from people on the day of Arafah. & said "Woe unto you that on a day like this you are asking from other than God. This is a day when the mercy and grace of Allah reaches (even) the fetus in the womb." A'AMAAL FOR NIGHT AND DAY OF ARAFAH A'AMAAL FOR THE NIGHT OF ARAFAH (NOTE : MJ = Mafatihul Jinaan) 1.

If Thou does not take into consideration my troubles and depressions, for having mercy on me, then do not stop me from getting the recompense of bearing up the hardships I underwent. ) |
