Fasting on Arafah (9th Zilhajjah)

Fasting on Arafah (9th Zilhajjah) Let us all fast this coming Thursday for anyone not in pilgrimage: عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم صِيَامُ يَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ إِنِّي أَحْتَسِبُ عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ يُكَفِّرَ السَّنَةَ الَّتِي قَبْلَهُ وَالَّتِي بَعْدَهُ Narrated from Abu Qatadah that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: “Fasting on the Day of ‘Arafah, I hope from Allah, expiates for the sins of the year before and the year after.” [Sunan Ibn-e-Majah, Chapters on Fasting, Hadith: 1730] Chapter: Fasting on the day of Arafah.
