Importance of Arafah Day
Arafah Day is the second day of Hajj and takes place on the plain of Arafat, outside Makkah. Pilgrims performing Hajj spend the day in prayer and reflection at Arafat, which considered the climax of the pilgrimage. For those not on pilgrimage, fasting on this day highly recommended. The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, “Fasting on the Day of Arafah expiates for the sins of the previous year and of the coming year” (Muslim).
