“The best supplication is the one made on the Day of ‘Arafah. The best thing ever said by me and the previous prophets is: There is no deity worthy of worship other than Allah, who is alone, having no partner. His is the dominion, and to Him belongs all praise. He is, of everything, All-Capable.”<\/strong><\/p>\n

The hadeeth was collected by Imam at-Tirmithee and others, and it has been authenticated by the scholars. [1]<\/p>\n

14 Points of Benefit Derived From or Related to the Hadeeth:<\/strong><\/p>\n

1 –<\/strong> The Day of ‘Arafah is the ninth day of the month of Thul-Hijjah. The Day of ‘Arafah this year (1446) is Thursday, June 5, 2025<\/strong>. The following day is ‘Eed al-Adh-haa<\/em>, the second of the two\u00a0annual holidays in Islam. [2]<\/p>\n

2\u00a0–<\/strong> The best day of the year to supplicate to Allah is the Day of ‘Arafah, while the best night for supplication is Laylat al-Qadr in Ramadhan. The Day of ‘Arafah is found within the best ten days of the year, the first ten of Thul-Hijjah, while Laylat al-Qadr is found in the best ten nights of the year, the last ten nights of Ramdhaan. While supplications in general may be made during both great opportunities, both have a specific supplication that stands out as the very best thing to use.<\/p>\n

3\u00a0–<\/strong> The previous\u00a0prophets used to remember Allah with this great supplication.<\/p>\n

4 –<\/strong> Allah’s Power and Capability is unlimited, unrestricted, and always in accordance with His perfect and complete Wisdom. Muslims never describe Allah with weaknesses, flaws, or inability. These are attributes He has negated in His Book.<\/p>\n

5 –<\/strong> You can practice and review your pronunciation<\/strong> of this supplication by using this short\u00a0MP3 audio file<\/a> along with\u00a0this printable text<\/a>.<\/p>\n

6\u00a0–<\/strong> You can review your understanding<\/strong> of the basic meanings of this supplication by reviewing this short MP3 audio file<\/a>.<\/p>\n

7\u00a0–<\/strong> A du’aa’<\/em> (supplication) does not always include a request. Here, the du’aa’<\/em> is entirely words of praise, with nothing being directly requested.<\/p>\n

8\u00a0–<\/strong> While the pilgrims standing at ‘Arafah during Hajj are in the best position to have their prayers answered, Muslims should take advantage of the virtuous daylight hours of the Day of ‘Arafah wherever they are by supplicating and remembering Allah, the Most High.<\/p>\n

Shaykh Saalih al-Fowzaan<\/strong>\u00a0concluded that this supplication for the Day of ‘Arafah\u00a0is for all Muslims everywhere,\u00a0while of course it is stressed more for the pilgrims on Hajj. [3]<\/p>\n

9\u00a0–<\/strong> The best way to praise Allah is to mention His Oneness and sole right to be worshipped alone.<\/p>\n

10\u00a0–<\/strong> Calling upon Allah alone is one of the greatest acts of worship one can offer.<\/p>\n

11 –<\/strong> Calling upon others besides Allah is an act of shirk<\/em><\/strong> (polytheism), which nullifies all of a person’s deeds. This includes:<\/p>\n
