MSA - MUSLIM STUDENT ASSOCIATION AT PENN STATE

Salam Alaykum brothers and sisters,

Tomorrow (Thursday, 26th Nov.) is the day of Arafah, inshaAllah. It is the Day of Arafah, on which Allah perfected His religion. Fasting on this day is one of the most important Sunnah fasts.

Abu Qatada (Allah be pleased with him) related that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace be upon him, his family, and companions) said, “Fasting the Day of Arafah [9thof Dhu’l Hijjah] expiates [the sins] for two years, one prior and one forthcoming.” [Reported by Muslim, Abu Dawud, Nasa’i, and Ibn Majah]

JazakAllah Khair,

PR Syed Fakhri, MSA
