The Prophet ﷺ described the Day of ʿArafah as the day Allah descends to the nearest heaven and boasts of His servants to the angels. On this day, sins are forgiven on a scale unlike any other, and for those not on Hajj, fasting it expiates two years of sins. He ﷺ told us:
“The best supplication is the supplication on the Day of ʿArafah, and the best of what I and the prophets before me have said is: ‘There is no deity except Allah, alone, without partner. To Him belongs all dominion and praise, and He is over all things competent.’”
In Arabic:
لا إله إلا الله وحدهُ لا شريك لهُ، لهُ الملكُ ولهُ الحمدُ، وهو على كل شيءٍ قدير
Transliteration:
La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu wa huwa ʿala kulli shayʾin qadeer.
This dua is easy to recite - after salah, while walking, while driving, cooking, cleaning. These words were on the lips of every prophet before him. Now they’re ours. Say them as much as you can. 🤍
