The Day of Arafah is known as the day where if sought after, millions of Muslims' sins are forgiven by Allah. The Day of ’Arafah is the ninth day of Dhul-Hijjah . Arafah is known as the day Allah perfected the religion of Islam. It is also momentous because it was the day an important verse of the Qur'an, Surah al Maa'idah 5:3, was revealed.
The first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah are the best days of the entire Islamic year. The Prophet (saw) said, ‘There are no days greater and more beloved to Allah than these (first) ten days of Dhul-Hijjah’.
Abu Qatada al-Ansari narrated that the prophet Muhammad was asked about fasting on the Day of Arafah, whereupon he said: It expiates the sins of the preceding year and the coming year.
