What is the day of Arafah in Islam?

Arafah is the ninth day of Dhul-Hijjah (Today, Thursdays 06/05/2025), known as the Day of Arafah. It is part of the first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah, which are the greatest days of the year, as noted in several Islamic teachings. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and previous prophets emphasized the profound blessings of this day.

Dua of Arafah in Arabic

The Dua for the Day of Arafah is recited as:

لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللهُ، وَحْدَهُ لاَ شَرِيكَ لَهُ، لَهُ المُلكُ، وَ لَهُ الحَمدُ، وَ هُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيءٍ قَدِيرٌ

Transliteration

This dua can be transliterated as:

La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la shareeka lah, lahul-mulku walahul-hamdu wahuwa ‘ala kuli shay-in qadeer.

Dua of Arafah Meaning in English

The meaning of this dua is:

There is no true God worthy of being worshipped except Allah, alone, without any partners. To Him belongs the Kingdom, and all-praise is due to Him, and He is able to do all things.

The Importance of the Dua of Arafa

The Dua of Arafah is one of the most significant supplications in Islam. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, as narrated by ‘Amr ibn Shu’ayb:
“The best supplication is the one made on the Day of Arafah. The best of it is what I and the previous prophets have said: ‘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.’”
(Source: Sunan al-Tirmidhī 3585; Grade: Hasan by Al-Albani)

Asalamu Alaikum my Beloved Brothers and Respected Sisters,
�
As the new moon of Dhul Hijjah graces our skies, we are reminded of a truth too often eclipsed by the fleeting affairs of the Dunya: we are entering the most sacred days of the year. The Prophet ﷺ declared:

“There are no days in which righteous deeds are more beloved to Allah than these ten days." (Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith 969)

These days are not just for pilgrims on Hajj, but for each and every one of us—to do good, reflect, reconnect, and reorient our lives toward Allah. In another hadith, the Prophet ﷺ said:

“There are no days more beloved to Allah for you to worship Him therein than the ten days of Dhul Hijjah. Fasting each day of them is equivalent to fasting a year, and standing in prayer each night of them is equivalent to standing in prayer on the Night of Qadr.”�(Sunan al-Tirmidhi)

May Allah accept all the good deeds from you and from us!

🌟 A Day of Learning and Connection 🌟**

Today, we were honored to host the **Clinical Pastoral Education (CPE) group from Christus Spohn Hospital - Shoreline at our mosque for a special didactic session on Spiritual Care for Muslim Patients and Families.

It was a beautiful opportunity to foster understanding, share insights about Islamic perspectives on health, healing, and spiritual support, and discuss how healthcare chaplains can best serve Muslim patients with compassion and cultural sensitivity.

We deeply appreciate their openness to learning and their commitment to providing holistic care to people of all faiths. Initiatives like these strengthen bridges between communities and ensure that spiritual care in healthcare settings is inclusive and respectful.

Thank you to all who participated, and a special thanks to the CPE team for this meaningful collaboration! 🤝💙
