As-salaamu-Alaykum Wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakaatuh,
Dear brothers and sisters,
We encourage you to fast the day of Arafah on Wednesday, September 23rd, as per the words of our Prophet sal-Allahu alayhi wa sal-lam:
صِيَامُ يَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ إِنِّي أَحْتَسِبُ عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ يُكَفِّرَ السَّنَةَ الَّتِي قَبْلَهُ وَالسَّنَةَ الَّتِي بَعْدَهُ
“Be content with the fact that Allah will expiate for you your sins for the year before (the day of ‘Arafah) and the year after (the day of ‘Arafah).” [Reported by Muslim]
Fast the day, and join us to break the fast at Masjid Ar-Rahman inshaa’Allaah.
