The Day of Arafat is a great day with God, the Exalted is His remembrance, and with the believers, a day in which God will gather those whom He has chosen for the carpet of His kingdom, the presence of His holiness, His safe sanctuary, and His great feelings, to send him complaints, raise pleas to Him, and call Him with the language of humiliation and tears of fear, calling Him out of desire and fear. It is the day that God Almighty swore by saying: {And witness and witness}, and it is Friday and the day of Arafat, and it is our day on which the witness and the witness gathered for those who stood for this great position in which lessons are poured, and stumbles are said, and in which our Lord Almighty is manifested. On the people of the situation, they do not leave until the Lord Almighty says to them: Leave, for I have forgiven you, as it was reported: “God Almighty descends to the lowest heaven and boasts about the people of Arafa to His angels and says: Look at My servants.

This is the Day of Divine Transfiguration upon His faithful servants, whoever among them was in that great scene, and whoever was exposed to its breath while he was in his home and his stable, the virtue of this day is attained and attained as stated: “The best supplication is the supplication on the Day of Arafat, and the best of what I and the prophets before me said: No. There is no god but God alone, He has no partner.” It is a supplication on the day in general and not in the place in particular. The Great, it is a day that pleases the Most Merciful, may He be glorified, and angers Satan who seduces the children of Adam and leads them astray from the right path, as it was authentically reported from him, peace and blessings of God be upon him, that he said: “Iblis was not seen on a day when he was younger, nor more despicable, nor more degraded, nor more enraged than the Day of Arafat, and that is what he sees. From the revelation of mercy and forgiveness of sins, except for what he saw on the day of Badr.”

It is this blessed day - Friday and the day of Arafat - on which God Almighty perfected the religion, and completed the blessing, the day the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, stood his great position and said about him:“The Hajj is ‘Arafah”, i.e., it is the greatest day in the ritual pilgrimage, which is missed by the pilgrimage, and is realized by its realization, and it is the day on which the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, delivered his great sermon, in which he explained the principles of religion in monotheism and worship, and the worldly in the rights of individuals and groups, and the principles of governance and politics. The day on which the Prophet, may the peace and blessings of God be upon him, bid farewell to his nation after he left them on a white pilgrimage, its night as its day, and no one deviates from it except someone who is destroyed. The day he instituted the pre-Islamic usury that destroys societies and takes away the rights of brotherhood of faith and humanity, the day when he made people equal in rights and duties, and there was no difference between them except by piety, the day he put the ignorant selves and replaced them with the glory of Islam, the day he glorified blood, wealth and honor. In order to remain protected, societal security will be established and divine justice will be established in itAmong the servants, the day when the divine majesty and the prophetic beauty were manifested in their finest forms, and that majesty and beauty remained whenever he returned to the nation, especially if it coincided with the day of the Prophet’s Hajj, peace and blessings be upon him, like this year, and there is no Muslim on earth except that he carries in his wings something of that majesty And beauty, so he will have a share of his goodness if he draws closer to God Almighty in it with what he loves such as fasting, charity, remembrance, or kinship ties, or he brings happiness to a Muslim, or stops his harm from them in the least, then he has that of charity.

This is the day of Arafat, on which the hearts became acquainted and clinging to the Knower of the unseen, asking Him for the beloved and desired, and seeking refuge from the dreaded, for whoever is like that, he will have from the grace of God what is promised.

We ask God Almighty to make us among those who are accepted, and to bring him back to everyone with forgiveness, wellness and lasting well-being.
