Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia – Eid al-Adha is just a few days away. There are practices that Muslims can do earlier than Eid al-Adha, specifically fasting the sunnah, specifically fasting Arafah. The Sunnah quick is carried out in the future earlier than Hari Raya Haj.
It’s known as the Arafah Quick as a result of on that day, the pilgrims who carry out the pilgrimage in Saudi Arabia are doing their abode at Padang Arafah.
Arafah Day is the day when Allah SWT has perfected the treatise of His revelation, and perfected His favor on the Prophet Muhammad SAW.
Fasting Arafat Wipes 2 Years of Sin
The regulation of finishing up the Arafah quick within the month of Dzulhijjah is sunnah. Which means it is okay should you do not do it, but it surely’s a disgrace should you miss it due to the large rewards that those that do do it get. So it might be higher should you do it.
As for the advantage of fasting 9 Dzulhijjah or Arafah fasting, that’s, it could erase sins for 2 years. Rasulullah ﷺ mentioned:
صِيَامُ يَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ أَحْتَسِبُ عَلَى Almighty Allah ي بَعْدَهُ وَصِيَامُ يَوْمِ عَاشُوْرَاءَ أَحْتَسِبُ عَلَى اللهِ أَنْ يُكَفِّرَ السَّنَةَ الَّتِيْ قَبْل َهُ
That means: “The quick of Arafah (9 Dzulhijjah) can erase sins a 12 months in the past and a 12 months later. The quick of Ashura (10 Muharram) will erase sins a 12 months in the past” (HR Muslim).
Arafah fasting intention
The next is the studying of the intention of fasting Arafah:
نَوَيْتُ صَوْمَ عَرَفَةَ سُنَّةً لِلّٰهِ تَعَالَى
Nawaitu shauma arafata sunnatan lillahi ta’ala
It means: “I intend to quick the sunnah of Arafat due to Allah ta’ala.”
Ideally, the intention of fasting is recited earlier than getting into sahur time or the night time earlier than.
After studying the intention, proceed with consuming the meal and the daybreak prayer. Fasting is completed by enduring starvation and lust from dawn to sundown.
