the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "The best dua is dua on the day of Arafa, and the best thing that I or the Prophets before me have said is 'There is no god but Allah, alone, without any partner' (La ilaha illa'llah, wahdahu la sharika lah.)"
“This day I have perfected for you your religion and completed My favor upon you and have approved for you Islam as religion.” [Quran, 5:3]
“By the sky containing constellations. And (by) the promised day. And (by) a witness and one witnessed.” [Quran, 85:1-3]
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “The promised day is the Day of Resurrection, and the one witnessed is the Day of ’Arafah, and the witness is Friday. The sun does not rise or set upon a day that is more virtuous than it (i.e. the Day of ‘Arafah)… (Tirmidhi)
‘Amr ibn Shu’ayb reported: The Prophet, peace, and blessings be upon him, said, “The best supplication is that which is made on the day of Arafah. The best of it is what was said by myself and the prophets before me:
The Day of Arafah (9th Day of Dhul Hijjah) is a very important day in Islam. It is the day on which the religion was perfected and Allah’s Favour was completed.
قَالَ عُمَرُ قَدْ عَرَفْنَا ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ وَالْمَكَانَ الَّذِي نَزَلَتْ فِيهِ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ بِعَرَفَةَ يَوْمَ جُمُعَةٍ.”
رواه البخاري ٤٥ و مسلم ٣٠١٧
Narrated ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab:
Once a Jew said to me,
“O the chief of believers! There is a verse in your Holy Book Which is read by all of you (Muslims), and had it been revealed to us, we would have taken that day (on which it was revealed as a day of celebration.”
‘Umar bin Al-Khattab asked, “Which is that verse?”
The Jew replied, “This day I have perfected your religion For you, completed My favor upon you, And have chosen for you Islam as your religion.” (5:3)
‘Umar replied,”No doubt, we know when and where this verse was revealed to the Prophet. It was Friday and the Prophet (ﷺ) was standing at ‘Arafat (i.e. the Day of Hajj)”
Sahih al-Bukhari, 45 and Muslim, 3017
It is the day of forgiveness of sins, freedom from the Fire for the people who are there
عن عائشة رضي الله عنها قالت : إن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال
ما مِن يوم أكثر من أن يعتق الله فيه عبداً من النار من يوم عرفة وإنه ليدنو ثم يباهي بهم الملائكة فيقول : ما أراد هؤلاء
رواه مسلم ( 1348 )
It was narrated that ‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
“There is no day on which Allaah ransoms more of His slaves from the Fire than the day of ‘Arafah. He draws close then He boasts about them before the angels and says, ‘What do these people want?’”
Narrated by Muslim (1348).
Fasting on this day expiates the sins of the previous year and the coming year

يكفر السنة الماضية والسنة القابلة

Umar ibn al-Khattab reported: A man from the Jews said, “O leader of the believers, there is a verse you recite in your book and, had it been revealed to us as Jews, we would have taken that day as a celebration.” Umar said, “Which verse is it?” The man recited the verse, “Today I have perfected your faith for you, completed My favour upon you, and chosen Islam as your way.” (5:3)
Umar said, “I know the day and place in which this verse was revealed to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. It was while he was standing on the day of Arafat on Friday.”
When My servants ask you ˹O Prophet˺ about Me: I am truly near. I respond to one’s prayer when they call upon Me. So let them respond ˹with obedience˺ to Me and believe in Me, perhaps they will be guided ˹to the Right Way˺.
[Qur'an 2:186]

May Allah place your name in the prayers of someone who feels as if their prayers are empty if they do not mention it. May Allah place your worries in front of someone who will look you straight in the eyes without any hesitation and be ready to steal all the tears, all the wories away from you.
May Allah place your fragile heart in the hands of someone who will hold it so close against their chest that it will feel as if both hearts beat together as one.
Someone who will feel every ounce of your love, your happiness, your pain, and your sadness. May Allah share your soul with someone in such a way that nothing but Him keeps you together.
May Islam be the foundation. May the Qur'an be your policies. May the sunnah structure your relationship. ♡✧。
May they love you more because you love Allah and may you love Allah more because you love them..
