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.
