00:00:06 -->
00:00:08
I would like to congratulate all of you
00:00:08 -->
00:00:10
for the coming of Eid ul Abha,
00:00:10 -->
00:00:12
which is a gift from Allah
00:00:13 -->
00:00:15
for all of us. But before the day
00:00:15 -->
00:00:17
of Eid there is also a great day.
00:00:18 -->
00:00:20
That a day that also another Eid for
00:00:20 -->
00:00:22
us which is the day of Arafah, 9th
00:00:22 -->
00:00:24
of Dhul Hijjah. And in these few minutes,
00:00:24 -->
00:00:25
inshaAllah ta'ala, I wanna share with you 30
00:00:25 -->
00:00:29
points related to this blessed day, the day
00:00:29 -->
00:00:31
of Arafah, so we can appreciate this day
00:00:31 -->
00:00:34
more and we prepare ourselves better. Number 1,
00:00:34 -->
00:00:35
the day of Arafah is one of the
00:00:35 -->
00:00:37
10 days of Dhul Hijjah. The first 10
00:00:37 -->
00:00:39
days of Dhul Hijjah, as Nabi sallallahu alaihi
00:00:39 -->
00:00:41
wa sallam told us, they are the best,
00:00:41 -->
00:00:43
the greatest of all the year of the
00:00:43 -->
00:00:46
days of the year. As a Nabi mentioned
00:00:46 -->
00:00:47
that in several ahadith.
00:00:47 -->
00:00:50
Number 2. The day of Arafa which is
00:00:50 -->
00:00:51
the,
00:00:52 -->
00:00:53
the 9th of
00:00:54 -->
00:00:56
the 10 days of the Hijjah.
00:00:57 -->
00:00:58
It is an indication
00:00:58 -->
00:01:01
that these 10 days about to end.
00:01:01 -->
00:01:02
And we know that
00:01:04 -->
00:01:07
that always what you do at the end
00:01:07 -->
00:01:07
is the best.
00:01:08 -->
00:01:09
And that's how Allah
00:01:10 -->
00:01:12
will accept you. So whoever end his life
00:01:12 -->
00:01:15
with good deeds, his life will be accepted.
00:01:15 -->
00:01:17
Sins will be forgiven. So Allah Subhanahu Wa
00:01:17 -->
00:01:19
Ta'ala giving us this day right before the
00:01:19 -->
00:01:20
end of the first 10 days of Dhul
00:01:20 -->
00:01:21
Hijjah
00:01:21 -->
00:01:23
to maximize our
00:01:23 -->
00:01:26
rewards and to give us even more chance
00:01:26 -->
00:01:28
for those who have missed to do good
00:01:28 -->
00:01:30
in the 1st 9 days. From now, this
00:01:30 -->
00:01:33
is 9th. Do your best. End the 10
00:01:33 -->
00:01:35
with the strongest way possible.
00:01:36 -->
00:01:37
As our lives
00:01:37 -->
00:01:40
pass by so quickly, the 10 days already
00:01:40 -->
00:01:41
passed so quickly.
00:01:42 -->
00:01:43
Number 3.
00:01:43 -->
00:01:45
The day of Arafah is a day of
00:01:45 -->
00:01:46
Eid.
00:01:46 -->
00:01:47
It is the day where Allah subhanahu wa
00:01:47 -->
00:01:50
ta'ala completed the deen for us. A Jew
00:01:50 -->
00:01:51
once told Umar
00:01:54 -->
00:01:56
You have a verse in your book. If
00:01:56 -->
00:01:59
this verse was revealed to us, we will
00:01:59 -->
00:02:01
we would have taken that day
00:02:01 -->
00:02:04
whenever Allah send out that verse. We have
00:02:04 -->
00:02:06
taken that day as a day of celebration,
00:02:06 -->
00:02:08
a day of Eid. Umar said which verse
00:02:08 -->
00:02:10
is that? The Jew told Umar.
00:02:10 -->
00:02:12
It is where Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said
00:02:18 -->
00:02:20
Today I have perfect your deen, perfect your
00:02:20 -->
00:02:21
religion,
00:02:21 -->
00:02:23
and perfect my favor upon you. And I
00:02:23 -->
00:02:26
have I'm pleased with Islam to be your
00:02:26 -->
00:02:26
religion.
00:02:27 -->
00:02:30
Umar said, I know when this verse was
00:02:30 -->
00:02:32
revealed and where it was revealed. It was
00:02:32 -->
00:02:34
revealed on the day of Jumuah, in the
00:02:34 -->
00:02:35
day of Arafah, when Nabi
00:02:36 -->
00:02:38
was with us in Hajj and the hadith
00:02:38 -->
00:02:39
in Bukhari Muslim.
00:02:40 -->
00:02:40
And Umar
00:02:41 -->
00:02:43
told him that this is a day of
00:02:43 -->
00:02:45
Eid for us. It is the day where
00:02:45 -->
00:02:47
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala shows his favor upon
00:02:47 -->
00:02:50
us by completing the religion. And completing the
00:02:50 -->
00:02:53
religion here means the major things in Islam
00:02:53 -->
00:02:57
were already completed. The major principles, rules, pillars,
00:02:57 -->
00:02:59
obligations were
00:02:59 -->
00:03:01
already established in the book of Allah Subhanahu
00:03:01 -->
00:03:03
Wa Ta'ala and by through the sunnah of
00:03:03 -->
00:03:05
Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. It doesn't mean
00:03:05 -->
00:03:07
that there is no any other rules was
00:03:07 -->
00:03:10
revealed after that. As we know, the there
00:03:10 -->
00:03:13
is verses like the verses in inheritance.
00:03:14 -->
00:03:15
The issue of and
00:03:15 -->
00:03:18
the arriba interest came afterwards.
00:03:18 -->
00:03:20
But the point that the major issues in
00:03:20 -->
00:03:23
religion was completed that day. So that's in
00:03:23 -->
00:03:25
itself a virtue for the day of Arafah.
00:03:25 -->
00:03:26
Also,
00:03:26 -->
00:03:28
among the number 4, one of the virtue
00:03:28 -->
00:03:30
of this day, that this is the day
00:03:30 -->
00:03:31
of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala made an oath
00:03:31 -->
00:03:34
with. Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala said,
00:03:35 -->
00:03:38
in Surat Al Buj verse 3, which is
00:03:38 -->
00:03:40
the witness and the thing that it was
00:03:40 -->
00:03:40
witnessed.
00:03:41 -->
00:03:42
And the witness
00:03:43 -->
00:03:43
thing
00:03:44 -->
00:03:45
is day of Arafah.
00:03:46 -->
00:03:48
As many of the mufasreen
00:03:48 -->
00:03:50
from the early generation said and also there
00:03:50 -->
00:03:52
is a hadith reported by Tirmidi that the
00:03:52 -->
00:03:52
prophet
00:03:53 -->
00:03:53
said,
00:03:54 -->
00:03:56
the promised day is the day of judgment.
00:03:58 -->
00:04:00
And the days witnessed is the day of
00:04:00 -->
00:04:02
Arafa, witnessed by the people, witnessed by the
00:04:02 -->
00:04:04
angels, witness by Allah himself.
00:04:05 -->
00:04:08
And the witness is the day of Al
00:04:08 -->
00:04:10
Jumu'ah. And again this hadith reported by Atir
00:04:10 -->
00:04:10
Miri.
00:04:11 -->
00:04:14
Another virtue for Arafah which is number 5,
00:04:14 -->
00:04:16
that also Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala made an
00:04:16 -->
00:04:18
oath with it in another verse. Allah said
00:04:20 -->
00:04:22
in Surat Al Fajr verse 3.
00:04:24 -->
00:04:26
And many others said,
00:04:26 -->
00:04:28
is the day of nahr, which is the
00:04:28 -->
00:04:31
10th. It's odd number. And al Witter is
00:04:31 -->
00:04:33
the day of Arafa which is 9th.
00:04:33 -->
00:04:35
Another thing about the day of Arafa,
00:04:36 -->
00:04:38
which is point number 6,
00:04:38 -->
00:04:39
that Allah
00:04:39 -->
00:04:41
made the day of Arafah as a great
00:04:41 -->
00:04:43
reminder for us of the day of judgment,
00:04:43 -->
00:04:46
where people come from everywhere to gather, where
00:04:46 -->
00:04:48
the believers will be gathered together
00:04:48 -->
00:04:51
seeking Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala's mercy and Allah
00:04:51 -->
00:04:52
to come and descend
00:04:52 -->
00:04:54
that day to welcome them. And that's what
00:04:54 -->
00:04:57
we hope for in the day of judgment.
00:04:57 -->
00:04:59
So when the day of Arafa comes, think
00:04:59 -->
00:05:01
about that day when you will be gathered
00:05:01 -->
00:05:03
with your brothers and sisters from all over
00:05:03 -->
00:05:06
the world but that that day from all
00:05:06 -->
00:05:09
the history, the past and the present of
00:05:09 -->
00:05:11
days. It is a day remind you of
00:05:11 -->
00:05:13
your end. Not only in the day of
00:05:13 -->
00:05:16
judgment but your own judgment which is the
00:05:16 -->
00:05:18
day of your death. Because in the peep
00:05:18 -->
00:05:20
when the people go to Arafa where the,
00:05:20 -->
00:05:23
you know, the the Haram, it looks and
00:05:23 -->
00:05:25
similar to Al Kafan, which is what they
00:05:25 -->
00:05:28
shroud our body with when we die. So
00:05:28 -->
00:05:29
it's a day of remembrance
00:05:30 -->
00:05:31
of the day that we will meet Allah
00:05:31 -->
00:05:33
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala. Number 7,
00:05:34 -->
00:05:35
Abu Zubayr
00:05:35 -->
00:05:38
reported that Jabir radiAllahu an said that the
00:05:38 -->
00:05:39
prophet said
00:05:43 -->
00:05:45
There is no more day
00:05:46 -->
00:05:49
favored by Allah than the day of Arafah.
00:05:49 -->
00:05:51
There's more virtue in a day like the
00:05:51 -->
00:05:52
day of Arafah.
00:05:57 -->
00:05:59
Allah will descend on that day, the almighty
00:05:59 -->
00:06:02
subhanah, the way it belong to him as
00:06:02 -->
00:06:03
he wish, as he
00:06:04 -->
00:06:04
wants
00:06:06 -->
00:06:07
to the this
00:06:07 -->
00:06:08
to the
00:06:08 -->
00:06:11
to this world the world is sky, the
00:06:11 -->
00:06:12
sky that
00:06:12 -->
00:06:13
we have.
00:06:13 -->
00:06:16
And he will tell the people of the
00:06:16 -->
00:06:18
heavens, the people of the skies which is
00:06:18 -->
00:06:19
the angels,
00:06:20 -->
00:06:21
look at my
00:06:22 -->
00:06:25
people on earth. Look at those who have
00:06:25 -->
00:06:27
come into the day of 'aruf.
00:06:28 -->
00:06:30
Umu Salamah radiAllahu anha, she used to say,
00:06:30 -->
00:06:31
this hadith report was ibn
00:06:32 -->
00:06:34
ibn Salamah used to say,
00:06:35 -->
00:06:37
this is the day of Arafah. This is
00:06:37 -->
00:06:39
the day of Arafah. And what a day
00:06:39 -->
00:06:42
when Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala comes down. What
00:06:42 -->
00:06:43
a blessed day when Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
00:06:43 -->
00:06:46
comes down. And this narration of Umi Sanamat
00:06:46 -->
00:06:47
reported by Darim
00:06:49 -->
00:06:49
and
00:06:50 -->
00:06:52
the narration that came in relation to Allah
00:06:53 -->
00:06:54
descending in the night of Arafah or the
00:06:54 -->
00:06:56
day of Arafah to,
00:06:56 -->
00:06:58
to look at the people who gather in
00:06:58 -->
00:07:01
the mountain of Arafah are so many and
00:07:01 -->
00:07:02
authentic as Sheikh Islam
00:07:03 -->
00:07:04
said.
00:07:04 -->
00:07:07
Number 8, among the virtue of this day
00:07:07 -->
00:07:09
that in this day Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
00:07:09 -->
00:07:11
frees so many people from hellfire.
00:07:11 -->
00:07:13
Many people will be freed from hellfire. And
00:07:13 -->
00:07:14
Allah
00:07:15 -->
00:07:17
SWT. They free them from hellfire
00:07:17 -->
00:07:19
and not only the people that standing in
00:07:19 -->
00:07:22
the in the mountain of Arafa but everyone
00:07:22 -->
00:07:25
witnessing that day with good deeds, with humility,
00:07:25 -->
00:07:26
with Tawba, with Istilfar,
00:07:27 -->
00:07:28
with dua,
00:07:28 -->
00:07:31
with good deeds, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will
00:07:31 -->
00:07:33
set them free from hellfire. There is no
00:07:33 -->
00:07:34
day where Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala free so
00:07:34 -->
00:07:35
many people from hellfire
00:07:36 -->
00:07:37
like the day of Arafah.
00:07:38 -->
00:07:40
Number 9, it is the day when you
00:07:40 -->
00:07:41
should
00:07:43 -->
00:07:44
have so much
00:07:45 -->
00:07:47
hope in Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala's mercy and
00:07:47 -->
00:07:50
trust in Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala's forgiveness. And
00:07:50 -->
00:07:52
it's a day where you think nothing but
00:07:52 -->
00:07:54
positive of your Lord.
00:07:56 -->
00:07:58
When Abdul Laden Mubarak came to him and
00:07:58 -->
00:08:00
he said, what do you think of this
00:08:00 -->
00:08:03
day? Can Sufyan at this moment
00:08:03 -->
00:08:06
and kneeling down and raising his hand, praying
00:08:06 -->
00:08:07
and in tears?
00:08:07 -->
00:08:08
Then he said,
00:08:09 -->
00:08:09
Yeah,
00:08:10 -->
00:08:11
Sufyan. And Sufyan
00:08:12 -->
00:08:13
is a major
00:08:13 -->
00:08:14
scholar.
00:08:14 -->
00:08:16
Respected him so much. So Daulayb al Barak
00:08:16 -->
00:08:19
was a great scholar himself. He said, what
00:08:19 -->
00:08:19
do you think,
00:08:20 -->
00:08:22
what is the worst sin that can be
00:08:22 -->
00:08:24
done today that prevents someone from being forgiven?
00:08:25 -->
00:08:28
He said, the sin of not thinking that
00:08:28 -->
00:08:29
Allah will forgive people.
00:08:30 -->
00:08:32
Just to lose that hope and Allah forgive
00:08:32 -->
00:08:34
me is a sin. That's the worst thing
00:08:34 -->
00:08:36
you can do that day. So make sure
00:08:36 -->
00:08:39
that day you fill your heart with Husnu
00:08:39 -->
00:08:40
Bambilla, with nothing
00:08:40 -->
00:08:43
with expecting nothing but good from your Lord.
00:08:44 -->
00:08:45
Also number 10,
00:08:45 -->
00:08:48
I want to make sure to understand that
00:08:48 -->
00:08:49
the virtue of this of this day, the
00:08:49 -->
00:08:52
day of Arafah, is not restricted to the
00:08:52 -->
00:08:53
people who witnessed the
00:08:53 -->
00:08:54
Arafah
00:08:54 -->
00:08:57
among the Hijad or standing on the mountain
00:08:57 -->
00:08:58
of Arafah. No.
00:08:59 -->
00:09:02
It's actually related to the day itself from
00:09:02 -->
00:09:04
9th, from the fajr all the way to
00:09:04 -->
00:09:07
Maghrib, no matter where you at. No doubt,
00:09:07 -->
00:09:09
those who are standing in Arafah,
00:09:09 -->
00:09:11
they have combined between the virtue of the
00:09:11 -->
00:09:13
time, the blessing of the time and the
00:09:13 -->
00:09:16
blessing of the place, and the blessing of
00:09:16 -->
00:09:18
a status because they are in the status
00:09:18 -->
00:09:20
of Hajj. And that's a great act of
00:09:20 -->
00:09:22
worship in itself. So that's why their ajer
00:09:22 -->
00:09:23
is way more rewarded
00:09:24 -->
00:09:26
than anyone else. But it doesn't mean that
00:09:26 -->
00:09:28
those who are not going to Hajj or
00:09:28 -->
00:09:31
not there at Arafah are excluded from the
00:09:31 -->
00:09:34
Hajj and reward from Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
00:09:34 -->
00:09:36
Number 11. It is recommended for Muslim in
00:09:36 -->
00:09:39
that day to increase their good deeds. To
00:09:39 -->
00:09:41
increase the deeds that it will lead to
00:09:42 -->
00:09:44
freeing them from * fire and
00:09:45 -->
00:09:45
to be
00:09:46 -->
00:09:48
even creative about it as well as it's
00:09:48 -->
00:09:49
Sharia and
00:09:50 -->
00:09:52
one of the good example I can give
00:09:52 -->
00:09:54
you, Hakim El Hizam and others did the
00:09:54 -->
00:09:56
same thing. Hakim El Hizam used to bring
00:09:56 -->
00:09:59
the slaves at that day that he he
00:09:59 -->
00:10:01
has or he he found and he purchased
00:10:01 -->
00:10:03
them. Then in the day of Arafa, he
00:10:03 -->
00:10:05
will said, you are all free. 100 of
00:10:05 -->
00:10:05
them.
00:10:06 -->
00:10:09
Okay. Sometimes he will bring a 100 camel,
00:10:10 -->
00:10:11
and he will
00:10:12 -->
00:10:15
sacrifice them or kill them and offer food
00:10:15 -->
00:10:16
to everybody in Hajj.
00:10:16 -->
00:10:18
And he said, You Rabb, this is just
00:10:18 -->
00:10:20
very little
00:10:20 -->
00:10:22
from my side to You.
00:10:22 -->
00:10:23
So
00:10:23 -->
00:10:26
You Allah, if I'm able to free these
00:10:26 -->
00:10:26
slaves
00:10:27 -->
00:10:29
and to feed people, so You Allah, free
00:10:29 -->
00:10:30
me from hellfire
00:10:30 -->
00:10:32
and free those people from hellfire. And people
00:10:32 -->
00:10:35
will be in tears and crying so loud
00:10:35 -->
00:10:38
when they hear Hakim Nkizam doing that. And
00:10:38 -->
00:10:40
many things like that. So make sure that
00:10:40 -->
00:10:42
that day you you meet Allah Subhanahu Wa
00:10:42 -->
00:10:44
Ta'ala that day with the deed that is
00:10:44 -->
00:10:46
so special. Something that you say you do
00:10:46 -->
00:10:48
it and you said, you Allah, I did
00:10:48 -->
00:10:50
this for you. So free me as you
00:10:50 -->
00:10:51
have freed
00:10:52 -->
00:10:54
free me from *
00:10:54 -->
00:10:56
fire. You might say,
00:10:56 -->
00:10:57
you
00:10:57 -->
00:10:59
know, okay he used to free if you
00:10:59 -->
00:11:01
free a slave, Allah free you from *
00:11:01 -->
00:11:02
fire.
00:11:02 -->
00:11:04
Today we don't have slaves to free.
00:11:04 -->
00:11:07
You know what? Some ulama said freeing people
00:11:07 -->
00:11:09
from debt. That can be like or people
00:11:09 -->
00:11:11
who are in doubt because of debt and
00:11:11 -->
00:11:13
you help them and their debt is for
00:11:13 -->
00:11:14
halal reason.
00:11:14 -->
00:11:15
That's also
00:11:15 -->
00:11:17
like a freeing imam. But also there is
00:11:17 -->
00:11:19
something else maybe you should pay attention to
00:11:19 -->
00:11:22
it, which is, Innabi sallallahu alaihi wa sallam
00:11:22 -->
00:11:22
said,
00:11:24 -->
00:11:25
whoever says
00:11:30 -->
00:11:32
a 100 times in a day, it will
00:11:32 -->
00:11:35
be equal like freeing 10 slaves.
00:11:36 -->
00:11:38
That means you free yourself from hellfire 10
00:11:38 -->
00:11:39
times
00:11:40 -->
00:11:41
and a 100 hasana will be given, a
00:11:41 -->
00:11:44
100 will be forgiven. The Hadid al Sahih
00:11:44 -->
00:11:47
Bukhari were Muslim as well. So maybe that's
00:11:47 -->
00:11:48
a dhikr that you can do that day
00:11:48 -->
00:11:49
a 100 times.
00:11:55 -->
00:11:57
Number 12, make sure to increase
00:11:57 -->
00:11:58
your adkar
00:11:59 -->
00:12:02
and especially the dhikr of tahleel.
00:12:03 -->
00:12:05
The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam in the hadith
00:12:05 -->
00:12:07
of Tirmidi, he said the best dua in
00:12:07 -->
00:12:09
the day of Ara the dua of the
00:12:09 -->
00:12:10
day of Arafa. And the best thing to
00:12:10 -->
00:12:12
say in that day,
00:12:17 -->
00:12:18
And another narration,
00:12:24 -->
00:12:25
and the other one in Muslim Ahmed
00:12:27 -->
00:12:27
Also,
00:12:29 -->
00:12:31
another number 13. In that day,
00:12:31 -->
00:12:32
even we say
00:12:33 -->
00:12:34
but also subhanAllah, alhamdulillah,
00:12:35 -->
00:12:38
Allahu Akbar, is recommended to do it all
00:12:38 -->
00:12:41
day long because in Nabi salallam said in
00:12:41 -->
00:12:42
the 10 days of Dhul Hijjah
00:12:43 -->
00:12:44
increase your
00:12:49 -->
00:12:51
Also number 14. In the day of Arafah,
00:12:52 -->
00:12:54
the restricted takbir which is comes after salawat
00:12:54 -->
00:12:55
start after fajr.
00:12:56 -->
00:12:58
So after the fajr of Dayif Arafa for
00:12:58 -->
00:13:00
those who are not doing hadd, after sal
00:13:00 -->
00:13:01
fajr, you say
00:13:06 -->
00:13:08
Then after that you you continue your adkar
00:13:09 -->
00:13:11
according to the vast majority of the scholar
00:13:11 -->
00:13:14
of Rahimahullah Ta'ala. And that will continue the
00:13:14 -->
00:13:16
day of Arafa, the day of Eid and
00:13:16 -->
00:13:19
3 days after until the asr of the
00:13:19 -->
00:13:21
3rd days after Eid. We would call a
00:13:21 -->
00:13:23
yamu at tashreeq. And this this is the
00:13:23 -->
00:13:24
restricted
00:13:24 -->
00:13:25
takbir.
00:13:26 -->
00:13:27
But also during the day, you should make
00:13:27 -->
00:13:30
takbir. Number 15, a dua in the day
00:13:30 -->
00:13:32
of Arafah. As you just heard the prophet
00:13:32 -->
00:13:35
said, the best of dua is dua the
00:13:35 -->
00:13:37
day of Arafah reported by Tirmibi. So make
00:13:37 -->
00:13:40
sure that you increase your dua in that
00:13:40 -->
00:13:41
day.
00:13:41 -->
00:13:44
Number 16, when you make dua that day,
00:13:44 -->
00:13:47
make sure that you are full aware of
00:13:47 -->
00:13:48
what you're saying.
00:13:48 -->
00:13:50
Make sure that you understand what you're praying
00:13:50 -->
00:13:52
for. Make sure that your heart and your
00:13:52 -->
00:13:54
tongue come together
00:13:55 -->
00:13:58
when you asking Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala. Can
00:13:58 -->
00:14:00
you feel that closeness of Allah
00:14:01 -->
00:14:03
That mercy and gifts and breaks that Allah
00:14:03 -->
00:14:05
Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala gives in that day.
00:14:05 -->
00:14:06
Number 17.
00:14:07 -->
00:14:09
It is good for you now.
00:14:10 -->
00:14:12
If you hear me now before Arafah or
00:14:12 -->
00:14:13
if it's day of Arafah already,
00:14:13 -->
00:14:15
prepare some of the dua in the Quran
00:14:15 -->
00:14:16
and Sunnah.
00:14:16 -->
00:14:17
Write it down
00:14:17 -->
00:14:19
if you don't memorize them.
00:14:23 -->
00:14:24
In the sun Allah
00:14:27 -->
00:14:29
I promise you will not be able to
00:14:29 -->
00:14:31
pray for yourself something better than what Allah
00:14:31 -->
00:14:34
and his messenger sallallahu alaihi wasalam taught us.
00:14:35 -->
00:14:37
If you can't memorize it, you can't have
00:14:37 -->
00:14:39
time. I want you to understand the following.
00:14:39 -->
00:14:41
When the prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam,
00:14:41 -->
00:14:43
when we look at the dua of that
00:14:43 -->
00:14:45
came in the sunnah of the Prophet sallallahu
00:14:45 -->
00:14:47
alaihi wasallam, we will find and by the
00:14:47 -->
00:14:49
way, you can make a quick search some
00:14:49 -->
00:14:51
apps like my dua app,
00:14:52 -->
00:14:53
the Adkar,
00:14:54 -->
00:14:56
the fortress of the Muslims, and you look
00:14:56 -->
00:14:57
at for general Dua.
00:14:58 -->
00:14:59
And you just look at them and you
00:14:59 -->
00:15:01
can use them and make Dua with them.
00:15:01 -->
00:15:02
But if you look at the Prophet sallallahu
00:15:02 -->
00:15:04
alaihi wa sallam, the dua of the Prophet
00:15:04 -->
00:15:06
sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, focus on the following,
00:15:06 -->
00:15:09
asking forgiveness, Allah's mercy, freeing from hellfire,
00:15:10 -->
00:15:11
being forgiven,
00:15:12 -->
00:15:14
granted a class, granted guidance,
00:15:14 -->
00:15:16
you know, make the person's
00:15:17 -->
00:15:18
soul sufficient, independent,
00:15:19 -->
00:15:20
make the person's
00:15:20 -->
00:15:22
sins covers or false covers,
00:15:23 -->
00:15:24
provide provisions,
00:15:24 -->
00:15:25
protections,
00:15:25 -->
00:15:26
health,
00:15:26 -->
00:15:27
victory,
00:15:27 -->
00:15:28
security
00:15:28 -->
00:15:30
and the top of all that ask Allah
00:15:30 -->
00:15:31
Subhanahu
00:15:31 -->
00:15:33
Wa Ta'ala and what leads you to Jannah,
00:15:34 -->
00:15:36
protection from hellfire and what can lead to
00:15:36 -->
00:15:39
it to ask Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala
00:15:39 -->
00:15:41
to make sure that you end your life
00:15:41 -->
00:15:42
and goodness.
00:15:46 -->
00:15:47
Number 18,
00:15:47 -->
00:15:49
make sure that you pray for yourself,
00:15:49 -->
00:15:51
for your family, for your friends,
00:15:52 -->
00:15:54
for your relatives. I can't emphasize enough on
00:15:54 -->
00:15:55
that.
00:15:55 -->
00:15:57
And also make sure that you pray for
00:15:57 -->
00:16:00
the Muslims and for the Ummah, for the
00:16:00 -->
00:16:03
community that you're living in, for the country
00:16:03 -->
00:16:05
that you're living in, that Allah Subhanahu Wa
00:16:05 -->
00:16:05
Ta'ala
00:16:05 -->
00:16:08
blessed and make it good and righteous.
00:16:09 -->
00:16:10
Number 19.
00:16:10 -->
00:16:12
When Arafah comes on the day of Jumu'ah,
00:16:12 -->
00:16:14
it became a great day because this is
00:16:14 -->
00:16:16
Tuhid, the Jumu'ah and Arafah.
00:16:17 -->
00:16:19
And basically your alafa
00:16:19 -->
00:16:21
will end up at the end of jumu'ah
00:16:21 -->
00:16:23
and the end of jumu'ah is more likely
00:16:23 -->
00:16:24
for your dua to be the end of
00:16:24 -->
00:16:26
the day of Jummah where the dua is
00:16:26 -->
00:16:28
more accepted. Can you imagine if this is
00:16:28 -->
00:16:30
Arafah that's adding more virtue to the virtue?
00:16:31 -->
00:16:33
But also when Arafah comes on the day
00:16:33 -->
00:16:36
of Monday Thursday, that's also special days. Because
00:16:36 -->
00:16:38
on Mondays, Nabi sallallahu alaihi wa sallam loved
00:16:38 -->
00:16:40
that these 2 days and he loved to
00:16:40 -->
00:16:42
fasten these 2 days as the nasa reported.
00:16:42 -->
00:16:44
Why? Because he said these the days were
00:16:44 -->
00:16:47
things presented before Allah. So can you imagine
00:16:47 -->
00:16:49
your deeds and your good deeds and your
00:16:49 -->
00:16:52
repentance and your Tawba and your request represent
00:16:52 -->
00:16:54
before Allah Subha Tawla twice and multiple times
00:16:54 -->
00:16:55
that day.
00:16:55 -->
00:16:57
Also number 20,
00:16:58 -->
00:17:00
the fasting the day of Arafah for those
00:17:00 -->
00:17:02
who are not doing Hajj is highly recommended
00:17:02 -->
00:17:03
and it's a great opportunity.
00:17:04 -->
00:17:05
The prophet sallallahu alaihi wasallam said in the
00:17:05 -->
00:17:08
hadith report about Imam Muslim, when you fast
00:17:08 -->
00:17:10
the day of Arafah, Allah forgive you the
00:17:10 -->
00:17:12
sins of 2 years. And one narration, the
00:17:12 -->
00:17:16
previous one and or the narration says
00:17:16 -->
00:17:19
the previous year and the coming one. Some
00:17:19 -->
00:17:21
erelema said it means a forgiving of 2
00:17:21 -->
00:17:22
years total.
00:17:22 -->
00:17:25
Some said the previous years and the year
00:17:25 -->
00:17:27
that you are about to start ahead of
00:17:27 -->
00:17:28
like a start,
00:17:29 -->
00:17:31
any head start. You know, you're starting before
00:17:31 -->
00:17:32
anybody else.
00:17:33 -->
00:17:34
And that's in itself a great
00:17:35 -->
00:17:37
blessing. Al Ulam, the majority said that has
00:17:37 -->
00:17:39
to do with the minor sins. But even
00:17:39 -->
00:17:41
some said even the major sin
00:17:42 -->
00:17:43
would be forgiven.
00:17:44 -->
00:17:45
Number 21.
00:17:45 -->
00:17:47
The best way if you've been fasting this
00:17:47 -->
00:17:50
day is basically to have the intention from
00:17:50 -->
00:17:50
the night
00:17:51 -->
00:17:53
to have a full reward.
00:17:53 -->
00:17:56
But if you did not know and you're
00:17:56 -->
00:17:57
listening to this talk right now I know
00:17:57 -->
00:17:59
already it's the day of Arafah and you're
00:17:59 -->
00:18:01
not fasting. You had a breakfast. You had
00:18:01 -->
00:18:03
coffee. You had water. You still can do
00:18:03 -->
00:18:05
it. You can now have the intention to
00:18:05 -->
00:18:07
pray because fasting,
00:18:08 -->
00:18:09
it doesn't have to be from the night
00:18:09 -->
00:18:12
according to the strongest opinion. And you even
00:18:12 -->
00:18:13
if you ate or you drink, you can
00:18:13 -->
00:18:16
start your from now stop eating and drinking
00:18:16 -->
00:18:18
and inshallah Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala give you
00:18:18 -->
00:18:19
the ajer for that.
00:18:19 -->
00:18:20
Number 22,
00:18:21 -->
00:18:23
Sayed ibn Jubair used to say make sure
00:18:23 -->
00:18:26
you wake up your family members, even your
00:18:26 -->
00:18:28
maids and servants to make suhoor in the
00:18:28 -->
00:18:31
night of before Arafah, so they can fast
00:18:31 -->
00:18:33
the day of Arafah. And I'm saying to
00:18:33 -->
00:18:35
you, make sure you talk to your children,
00:18:35 -->
00:18:37
to your family member, to encourage them to
00:18:37 -->
00:18:39
fast that day. Number 23,
00:18:40 -->
00:18:42
if you have days from Ramadan, you have
00:18:42 -->
00:18:43
not made it up yet.
00:18:44 -->
00:18:47
It doesn't matter. You still can do the
00:18:47 -->
00:18:48
day of Arafah, even if you did not
00:18:48 -->
00:18:50
fast all the missing days of Ramban.
00:18:51 -->
00:18:53
According to the strongest opinion among the scholars,
00:18:54 -->
00:18:55
especially
00:18:55 -->
00:18:57
the the the volunteer
00:18:57 -->
00:18:58
fasting
00:18:58 -->
00:19:01
that comes for a reason like Arafa, Ashura.
00:19:01 -->
00:19:03
It's not this Monday or Thursday that you
00:19:03 -->
00:19:05
can do it anytime. No. This is an
00:19:05 -->
00:19:07
opportunity only once in the year. And if
00:19:07 -->
00:19:08
you did not
00:19:09 -->
00:19:11
finish the missing days of ramadan, you can
00:19:11 -->
00:19:14
fast your mala'rafah and you can make ramadan
00:19:14 -->
00:19:17
later on, insha Allah. Because making the days
00:19:17 -->
00:19:18
of Ramadan, you have choice
00:19:19 -->
00:19:21
of big period of time versus Arafah, just
00:19:21 -->
00:19:23
one specific date. It's 9th of the Hajj.
00:19:23 -->
00:19:25
If you missed it, you missed
00:19:25 -->
00:19:26
Number 24,
00:19:27 -->
00:19:29
what if I want to combine between the
00:19:29 -->
00:19:31
two intention? I want to fast the day
00:19:31 -->
00:19:32
of Alafa and to make up one of
00:19:32 -->
00:19:33
the days
00:19:34 -->
00:19:35
in Ramadan. You
00:19:36 -->
00:19:37
know the majority of the scholars said you
00:19:37 -->
00:19:40
should not do that, but some scholars said
00:19:40 -->
00:19:42
you do and among them, Sheikh Rashayr Nathimir
00:19:43 -->
00:19:44
And I lean towards that
00:19:45 -->
00:19:46
too. You know, if you have the both
00:19:46 -->
00:19:49
intention, insha'Allah, Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala will accept
00:19:49 -->
00:19:51
it from you as a making of one
00:19:51 -->
00:19:52
of the days of Ramadan.
00:19:52 -->
00:19:54
But also Allah Subhana Wa Ta'ala will reward
00:19:54 -->
00:19:56
you because it happened during a very special
00:19:56 -->
00:19:59
day. But the best is to separate the
00:19:59 -->
00:20:01
two intention, is to make this specifically for
00:20:01 -->
00:20:02
Arafah.
00:20:03 -->
00:20:04
Number 25,
00:20:04 -->
00:20:06
even if you are traveling that day, you
00:20:06 -->
00:20:09
should fast. I encourage you to fast. You
00:20:09 -->
00:20:12
know Salaf used to fast these days and
00:20:12 -->
00:20:13
not to miss it. Ibn Abbas
00:20:14 -->
00:20:16
was seen fasting the day of Ashura which
00:20:16 -->
00:20:18
is lust and virtue than fasting the day
00:20:18 -->
00:20:20
of Arafa. And he was said he was
00:20:20 -->
00:20:22
asked, now in Ramadan you don't fast when
00:20:22 -->
00:20:23
you are traveling.
00:20:24 -->
00:20:24
Why you
00:20:25 -->
00:20:27
fast in Ashura, which is not obligatory?
00:20:27 -->
00:20:30
Ibn Abbas said for Ramadan, Allah said
00:20:31 -->
00:20:33
In Ramadan, you can make it in any
00:20:33 -->
00:20:35
other days. But Allah didn't say the same
00:20:35 -->
00:20:36
thing about Ashura.
00:20:37 -->
00:20:39
And bay obviously here we can say same
00:20:39 -->
00:20:41
thing about, you know, the day of Arafah.
00:20:41 -->
00:20:43
That's why Zuhriyab Zhabiz
00:20:44 -->
00:20:44
Suvei
00:20:45 -->
00:20:47
and others said similar to what Ibn Abbas
00:20:47 -->
00:20:48
radiAllahu an said.
00:20:49 -->
00:20:50
Number 26.
00:20:51 -->
00:20:53
If you have an excuse not to fast
00:20:53 -->
00:20:55
the day of Arafah, due to sickness, you
00:20:55 -->
00:20:56
have your menses,
00:20:56 -->
00:20:57
you're breastfeeding
00:20:57 -->
00:20:58
or pregnant
00:20:59 -->
00:21:01
and you are in the habit of fasting
00:21:01 -->
00:21:03
the day of Arafah every year, I have
00:21:03 -->
00:21:05
a glad tiring for you. I have a
00:21:05 -->
00:21:08
good news for you. You will take full
00:21:08 -->
00:21:10
ajer as if you already fasted that day.
00:21:10 -->
00:21:11
In Nabi
00:21:12 -->
00:21:15
said, when my if a servant of Allah
00:21:15 -->
00:21:16
gets sick or travel,
00:21:17 -->
00:21:18
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will give you the
00:21:18 -->
00:21:20
same ajer of what you used to do
00:21:20 -->
00:21:22
while you are healthy or resident.
00:21:24 -->
00:21:25
Number 27.
00:21:25 -->
00:21:26
Make sure
00:21:27 -->
00:21:29
by the beginning of this day, the day
00:21:29 -->
00:21:31
of Arafah, in the middle of this day
00:21:31 -->
00:21:33
and definitely by the end of that day,
00:21:34 -->
00:21:36
it's the end of these major sins that
00:21:36 -->
00:21:38
you commit. The sins that you insist on
00:21:38 -->
00:21:41
doing it, that you are careless about.
00:21:41 -->
00:21:44
That's the if you've taken somebody's rights, give
00:21:44 -->
00:21:46
it back to them. If you harm someone,
00:21:46 -->
00:21:47
ask for forgiveness.
00:21:48 -->
00:21:50
Make sure that you repent to Allah Subhanahu
00:21:50 -->
00:21:52
Wa Ta'ala and you leave the Haram because
00:21:52 -->
00:21:53
leaving the Haram
00:21:54 -->
00:21:55
is very important
00:21:56 -->
00:21:58
for the Muslims to do in order for
00:21:58 -->
00:22:00
him to receive all these blessings from Allah
00:22:00 -->
00:22:01
subhanahu
00:22:01 -->
00:22:02
wa ta'ala.
00:22:03 -->
00:22:04
As Nabi
00:22:04 -->
00:22:06
said a person go to Umrah and do
00:22:06 -->
00:22:09
all this effort and make dua but is
00:22:09 -->
00:22:10
not accepted from him. Why?
00:22:12 -->
00:22:15
Dua is rejected. Why? Because he consumed Haram.
00:22:15 -->
00:22:17
He fed himself with Haram.
00:22:18 -->
00:22:19
So make sure that you repent to Allah
00:22:21 -->
00:22:22
Number 28,
00:22:23 -->
00:22:25
every Muslim this day
00:22:25 -->
00:22:28
should seek forgiveness from Allah Subhana Wa Ta'la,
00:22:28 -->
00:22:29
seek
00:22:30 -->
00:22:33
to be free from hellfire. But remember,
00:22:33 -->
00:22:35
make sure that this day, if this is
00:22:35 -->
00:22:38
what you're seeking, to free yourself also from
00:22:38 -->
00:22:40
sins and don't do sins these days as
00:22:40 -->
00:22:42
much as this day as much as you
00:22:42 -->
00:22:44
can. Nabi said
00:22:46 -->
00:22:49
this is a day if you control your
00:22:49 -->
00:22:52
eyes, you control your ear, you control your
00:22:52 -->
00:22:53
tongue, you will be forgiven.
00:22:54 -->
00:22:55
So make sure you control these 3,
00:22:56 -->
00:22:58
Your tongue, your eyes, your
00:22:59 -->
00:23:02
ears. Don't listen to haram. Don't watch haram.
00:23:02 -->
00:23:04
Don't say what is haram. Say what is
00:23:04 -->
00:23:05
right.
00:23:05 -->
00:23:07
Say hear what is right. See what is
00:23:07 -->
00:23:10
right. So Allah swanahu wa ta'ala forgive you.
00:23:10 -->
00:23:11
Number 29.
00:23:12 -->
00:23:14
This is the day of freeing from hellfire
00:23:15 -->
00:23:18
and forgiveness, as I said early. But I
00:23:18 -->
00:23:20
want to emphasis on this as we end
00:23:21 -->
00:23:21
the points.
00:23:29 -->
00:23:31
In Sayyid Muslim, there is no day Allah
00:23:31 -->
00:23:33
frees so many people from hellfire like the
00:23:33 -->
00:23:34
day of Arafah.
00:23:38 -->
00:23:40
He will come closer to the people of
00:23:40 -->
00:23:43
Arafa and he will say what he asked
00:23:43 -->
00:23:45
his angels, what those wants?
00:23:46 -->
00:23:48
What those people want. When Allah
00:23:49 -->
00:23:50
he said what they want, he knows what
00:23:50 -->
00:23:51
they want.
00:23:51 -->
00:23:52
He's
00:23:52 -->
00:23:54
saying look
00:23:54 -->
00:23:56
what they came here for. They left their
00:23:56 -->
00:23:57
family, they left
00:23:58 -->
00:23:59
their homes, they left
00:24:00 -->
00:24:02
their their their business, they left everything behind
00:24:02 -->
00:24:03
them and they came to me.
00:24:04 -->
00:24:06
They're seeking what? Allah's forgiveness.
00:24:08 -->
00:24:08
So Allah
00:24:09 -->
00:24:12
grant them what they want. And another narration,
00:24:12 -->
00:24:15
Allah will be proud of them and telling
00:24:15 -->
00:24:17
the angel look at my servant.
00:24:17 -->
00:24:20
Because angels are his servants in heaven. But
00:24:20 -->
00:24:22
these are his servants on earth. He said,
00:24:22 -->
00:24:24
look at them. So proud of them.
00:24:24 -->
00:24:27
And Al Ulamar Rahimullah said that hadith shows
00:24:27 -->
00:24:29
you that the people of Arafah will be
00:24:29 -->
00:24:29
forgiven.
00:24:29 -->
00:24:32
Why? Because their sins will be completely forgiven,
00:24:32 -->
00:24:35
wiped out. Because Allah will never be proud
00:24:35 -->
00:24:37
of someone who sin
00:24:39 -->
00:24:39
sinner.
00:24:40 -->
00:24:41
And Allah will not be proud of someone
00:24:41 -->
00:24:43
who committing sin. He will be proud of
00:24:43 -->
00:24:46
those who are sinless, pure. That's why Allah
00:24:46 -->
00:24:48
purify them first
00:24:48 -->
00:24:50
and forgive them all first, then
00:24:50 -->
00:24:52
he will be proud of them. Like in
00:24:52 -->
00:24:54
Jannah, proud of you when you are in
00:24:54 -->
00:24:56
Jannah. Because when you enter Jannah, everything will
00:24:56 -->
00:24:57
be forgiven.
00:24:58 -->
00:24:59
This is a great thing
00:24:59 -->
00:25:02
that you should reflect upon in that day.
00:25:02 -->
00:25:04
Make sure that Allah is proud of you
00:25:04 -->
00:25:06
by the end of that day. Proud of
00:25:06 -->
00:25:08
your commitment and your
00:25:09 -->
00:25:11
your your your repentance to him. And finally
00:25:11 -->
00:25:13
my 30th point, what Ibra Rajal
00:25:14 -->
00:25:16
said, He said in his book, Latayf ul
00:25:16 -->
00:25:19
Ma'arif, something very beautiful. He said,
00:25:26 -->
00:25:27
could be also.
00:25:28 -->
00:25:29
If you missed it, stand up
00:25:30 -->
00:25:32
that day in the mountain of Arafa.
00:25:32 -->
00:25:34
Stand up for the truth.
00:25:35 -->
00:25:38
Stand up before Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
00:25:39 -->
00:25:41
And if you couldn't spend the night in
00:25:41 -->
00:25:41
Musdalifa,
00:25:42 -->
00:25:44
make sure that you spend the night, every
00:25:44 -->
00:25:45
night
00:25:45 -->
00:25:48
committed to the worship of Allah Subhana Wa
00:25:48 -->
00:25:48
Ta'la.
00:25:49 -->
00:25:50
If you can be
00:25:50 -->
00:25:51
praying
00:25:51 -->
00:25:52
at Al khaif,
00:25:52 -->
00:25:54
make sure that you
00:25:54 -->
00:25:55
complete
00:25:55 -->
00:25:58
Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala or fulfill Allah Subhanahu
00:25:58 -->
00:26:00
Wa Ta'ala rights upon you anywhere.
00:26:01 -->
00:26:03
If you couldn't sacrifice your hadi and mina,
00:26:03 -->
00:26:06
make sure that you sacrifice and offer your
00:26:06 -->
00:26:08
hawai, your desires
00:26:08 -->
00:26:11
and you will reach with the people of
00:26:11 -->
00:26:14
Makkah reach. If you couldn't reach the house
00:26:14 -->
00:26:15
of Allah in Makkah,
00:26:15 -->
00:26:17
make sure that you reach the house of
00:26:17 -->
00:26:18
Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
00:26:18 -->
00:26:21
You know, in the in any other places,
00:26:21 -->
00:26:23
the minor houses of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala.
00:26:23 -->
00:26:24
The major one, the bigger one is the
00:26:24 -->
00:26:27
one in Mecca. But also Allah has houses
00:26:27 -->
00:26:29
everywhere. Make sure you're among those who go
00:26:29 -->
00:26:31
to it, attend it, be part of your
00:26:31 -->
00:26:32
community,
00:26:32 -->
00:26:34
be proud of you being a Muslim and
00:26:34 -->
00:26:36
be grateful and thankful to Allah Subhana Wa
00:26:36 -->
00:26:39
Ta'ala for this blessed day. You Allah, we
00:26:39 -->
00:26:41
are thankful and grateful for you for all
00:26:41 -->
00:26:42
these opportunities.
00:26:43 -->
00:26:45
You Allah, we ask you to forgive us,
00:26:45 -->
00:26:47
to accept us, to shower us with your
00:26:47 -->
00:26:49
mercy, and to keep us on the straight
00:26:49 -->
00:26:50
path until we meet you.
