8 Dhū al-Ḥijjah '45 — Quick Benefit

Supplication for the day of ‘Arafah

Bismillāhir-Raḥmānir-Raḥīm

Alḥamdulillāh, the day of ‘Arafah (ninth day of Dhū al-Ḥijjah) is upon us! It is from the Sunnah of our beloved Prophet (ﷺ) to say this supplication as much as you can on this blessed day:

ﻻ َ إِﻟــــﻪ َ إِﻻ اﷲ
"There is none worthy of worship other than Allāh"

وَﺣْﺪَﻩ ُ ﻻ َ ﺷَﺮِﻳﻚ َ ﻟَﻪ
"Alone, not having any partner"

ﻟَﻪ ُ اﻟْﻤُﻠْﻚ ُ وَﻟَﻪ ُ اﻟْﺤَﻤْﺪ
"To Him belong the dominion, and to Him is all praise,"

وَﻫُﻮ َ ﻋَﻠَﻰ ﻛُﻞ ﺷَﻲْء ٍ ﻗَﺪِﻳﺮ
"And He is All-Capable over everything" (1)

The Prophet (ﷺ) said regarding this:

"The best supplication is the one made on the Day of ‘Arafah. The best thing ever said by me and the previous messengers is: There is no deity worthy of worship other than Allāh, who is alone, having no partner. His is the dominion, and to Him belongs all praise. He is, of everything, All Capable." (1)

And Allāh (ﷻ) knows best.

May Allāh bless you, and shukran.
