Abdur Rahman ibn Yusuf Mangera – Fast the 9th (‘Arafa) and Live for Another Year

What is the felida of fasting on the ninth of Arafat's are all over

the place where the people go into the Avada for that plane is called

Allah, fats, and Arafa is the day. So the ninth of Arafa is there's a

hadith in Tirmidhi, which says that the Prophet sallallahu alayhi

wa sallam said

that anybody who fast on the Day of Arafah, they will, I have hope

in Allah subhanaw taala, that Allah will have mercy, Allah will

forgive the previous years, misdeeds, and the next year's

misdeeds. So that is very powerful. There's very few Hadith

that speak about forgiveness for something in advance. So the

Prophet salallahu Alaihe Salam used to fast this fast every

single year, until the last year before he died when he was in

Hajj. And he didn't fasted when he was a hygiene, but But generally,

he fasted throughout on the ninth of Arafa. So it has a huge reward.

In fact, all of these days if you do any worshipping here, according

to some durations, it's superior to even the days of Ramadan and a

night superior to Leela to other but a lot of people are missing

out on this. But if nothing else fast on the ninth, because that

holds is great reward that a previous year's sins will be

forgiven and a future one year's, you know, the next year sins will

also be forgiven. According to some scholars, they they've kind

of correlated this, they've looked at the life of Rasulullah

sallallahu. Every year, he kept this fast the year that he did not

keep the fast that was the the year after that was the one in

which he passed away. So essentially, what some of them are

saying what some are them I have mentioned, is that if you fast on

this day, because you've got a whole year sins to be forgiven,

meaning your next year since they can only be done if you stay alive

for another year. So if you if you fast, you will be you know, you'll

be given another knife for another year. Obviously, that's not

definite and definitive in any way, shape or form. But there is a

point that they've looked at. So yeah, I would encourage everybody

to fast on that day.
