What is the story of Arafah and why it is important??
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
1. It is believed that Prophet Adam and Eve were reunited at Arafah after being expelled from Paradise. Additionally, it is said that Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) delivered his farewell sermon (Khutbah) during his final pilgrimage, known as the Hajjat al-Wida.
2. For pilgrims performing Hajj, the day spent at Arafah is a fundamental ritual.
3 Arafah represents unity, as millions of Muslims from diverse backgrounds and countries gather together in one place, dressed in simple white garments (Ihram), all equal before God regardless of their social status , nationality , race or colour
Some hadiths :
• Imam al-Sadiq states, “There is no day when Allah sets free more souls from Hellfire than the Day of Arafah. Allah comes closer and boasts of His servants before the angels, saying, ‘What do these people want?'”
(Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 94, p. 117)
• Imam Ali (peace be upon him) said, “The best supplication is the supplication on the Day of Arafah.”
(Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 91, p. 69)
• Imam Ali (peace be upon him) said, “Verily, Arafah is the day on which Allah completed the religion and completed His favor upon His servants, and it is the day of the pledge and the covenant.”
(Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 14, p. 261)
• Imam Ali (peace be upon him) said, “Verily, Allah, the mighty and Majestic, took a covenant from the prophets at Arafah regarding their covenant with Him to confirm their message.” (Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 14, p. 265)
