Abu Qatada (Ra) related that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said, "Fasting the Day of `Arafah (9th of Dhu'l Hijjah) expiates for 2 years of sins, one year before and one after..[Muslim]
The blessed day of Arafah is tomorrow (Saturday 5th Nov). So we should worship tonight & tomorrow reciting Quran,prayer, Dhikr, Dua, & fast the day tomorrow, so we can gain forgiveness for 2 years of sins Subhanallah!
Re: The blessed day of Arafah is tomorrow (Sat 5th Nov)
REMINDER: Takbir-ut-Tashreeq is from Fajr on Saturday the 5th of Nov until Asr on Wednesday the 9th of Nov
Beginning from the Fajr of the 9th Zulhijjah up to the 'Asr prayer of the 13th, it is obligatory on each Muslim to recite the Takbir of Tashreeq after every Fard prayer in the following words.
Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar,
La Ilaha Illallahu, Wallahu Akbar,
Allahu Akbar wa lillahilhamd.
(There is no god but Allah and Allah is the greatest, Allah is the greatest and to Allah belongs all praise.)
According to authentic Islamic sources, it is obligatory on each Muslim, to recite this Takbir after every Fard Salah. For women also, it is commendable though not obligatory. Whether you are performing Salah with Jama'ah (collectively) or on your own (individually) makes no difference. You must recite the Takbir. However, male Muslims should recite it in a loud voice, while females should recite it in a low voice.
(Islamic Months by 'Mufti Taqi Uthmani')
How many times should one recite the Takbir Tashreeq after the Fard Salah:
It is Wajib to recite the Takbir Tashreeq once only. To recite it more than one it is contrary to the Sunnah and to recite it three times and making it compulsory is Bid`ah (innovation) and sin. (Ahsanul Fataawa Vol. 4 Pg. 152)
And Only Allah Ta'ala Knows Best.
The Origin:
TAKBEER-E-TASHREEK
(Exaltation and Glorification of Allah)
The origin of Takbeer-e-Tashreek dates back to the time when Hazrat Ibraheem (Alayhis-Salaam) made Hazrat Ismaeel lie down. Allah Ta'ala ordered Hazrat Jibraiel (Alayhis-Salaam) to take along a ransom (fidyah) to the scene of the sacrifice of Hadrat Ismaeel (Alayhis-Salaam). When Hazrat Jibraeel (Alayhis-Salaam) appeared there, he feared Ibraheem (Alayhis- Salaam) would slaughter his son and thus began reciting,
"Allah-u-Akbar"
Hearing his voice, Hazrat Ibraheem (Alayhis-Salaam) took to it as a glad tiding and exclaimed:
'Laa ilaha Illallahu wallaahu Akbar"
Hazrat Ismaeel (Alayhis-salaam) also thought that the fidyah had arrived and so he rose up to eulogize and thank Allah Ta'ala saying,
"Allahu Akbar wa Lillahil Hamd"
So let us repeat this words once after every Fard Salaah with full sincerity.
Re: The blessed day of Arafah is tomorrow (Sat 5th Nov)
A quick question,please help.Its actually "some people" here confused me as the day of Arafa in Saudi Arabia is today so we should fast and offer Ibadah according to their Calender in spite of its 8th Dhul Hajj here.I told them that 9th Dhul Hajj will be tommorrow here and this will be the Day of Arafa for the people here but they dont listen to me.Im a little confused now as i might missed such an important day.Please tell me if we should go with our Islamic calender or to follow the Saudi one because Hajj only happen there and today was Arafa over there?

Accordance with the hadith where the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said,“The supplication of a Muslim for his brother in his absence will certainly be answered. Everytime he makes a supplication for good for his brother, the angel appointed for this particular task says: `Ameen! May it be for you, too’.” [Muslim].
Alhamdulillah Allah SWT have amazing rewards for every good deed.Whenever pray for your Brother/Sister Muslim,be sure Allah SWT will sent down the same for you so pray with Ikhlaas and pray hardly for them.Allah SWT will ease your affairs as well Inshallah.
When i pray for my internet friends,i ask Allah SWT to bless my FB,UI and IB friends with this and that.And if someone request it then i mention their name and ask Allah SWT to ease their affairs.Im not saying all that because im very good but because i want you all to keep me in your doaa as well and Allah SWT will reward you the same Inshallah.Please do pray for me.Jazakallahu Khyran.

Actually no, you do not have to but rather you HAVE to go with Saudi for this one. Day of Arafah and Eid al Adah is not dependent on Moon sighting. Arafah is a place and day of Arafah is when people stand on that place. I don't know the ignorant self centered communities around the world (mostly in the west) think they can do everything they want their way. Maybe it's the "americanism" in them to be different from the jammah.
The Prophet (SAS) said "The Day of Adhaa is the day when the people sacrifice their udhiyah."
Al-Imam AlKhattaabi commented on this hadeeth by saying, "People will be divided into groups and many will go astray from the way of the Prophet (SAS). Some will follow astronomical calculations and some will fast earlier and stand in 'Arafah earlier than the Muslims, like the Baatiniyyah. The Prophet's (SAS) way will always remain and the people who follow it will be the saved ones, those are on the correct path, even if they are few." (Nayl ul-Awtaar 3:329)
Ibn Taymiyyah says that the animal sacrifice at Mina applies in the first place to pilgrims and thereafter to all others. The famous
Hanbali jurist, Hafiz Ibn Rajab explains that the salat of Eid al-Adha should be performed concurrent with the rites being performed during the Hajj.
Ahmad bin Hanbal maintained that Eid al-Adha prayer should be offered during the time when pilgrims were moving from Muzdalifah to Mina.
Imam al-Bhaghawi quoting Ibn Abbas, Imam Malik and Imam Shafa’ee states that Muslims all over the globe are to follow the timings of Hujjaj vis-à-vis Takbeerat of Tashreeq; this according to Imam al-Sarkhasi was an opinion held by Abu Yusuf as well.
IF Muslims can't even unite on this day as one then they should just stop talking about Ummah unity. In fact, we should be doing Ramadan and Eid al Fitr at the same time as well. Yes, we can do local sighting but that was in the past when you coudn't even communicate with the village near by without a days journey on the horse. With global village and global community, we should be more united then divided. There is even hadith of Prophet (s.a.w) and his people fasting when a caravan came and said today is eid we saw the moon already. What did the prophet say? Oh no, we are doing local sighting? He commanded everyone to break their fast and start celebrating. Yet sadly, Muslims seem to fail to understand that and we have masjids within the same community doing eids on two different days.

At one time the Prophet (peace be upon him) came and ask for food and there was none and then he said, then today i'm fasting. You can still fast the rest of the day. Inshallah you will get the reward for your intentions and actions. It's also good to do lot of dhikr today.

Asalaamu Alaikum, Firstly we follow local moon sighting in accordance with the sunnah of Rasulallah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) and then if the moon is not sighted locally then we follow the consensus of our local Masjids most of which will follow Saudi if the moon is sighted there and not locally. So the best thing for you to do is to follow your local Masjid or scholars you trust from your country. Follow their calendar to establish when the day of Arafah is. If it is tomorrow then do it tomorrow. Allah knows your intentions and will reward you accordingly inshallah. Please mention me in your duas.
Re: The blessed day of Arafah is tomorrow (Sat 5th Nov)
Jazakallahu Khyran,this is exactly what the sheikh said here.
Q)Ive read in your fatwas, this will mean for non-pilgrims the 9th day for fasting is different for those following the regional opinion of eid ul adha to the 9th day in saudi arabia e.g. yoour 9th day for fasting in the uk may be when it is the 10th day of eid in saudi.
Ok that i understand. The bit I'm not sure about is:
I've read in a book, that you should do duaas on the day of arafat 9th day, just like the pilgrims are doing, its good day for duas even for non pigrims to be done simultaneously. This can easily be done if you are following the opinion there is one eid for all, since your 9th day will match.
However, how can the above be done if you are following the regional opinion, since the 9th day may differentiate, e.g. you will end up doing duas on different 9th day to saudi, hence you will not be doing it simultaneously when the pigrims are doing it?
e.g. lets say its 9th day of arafat in saudi, but in the uk, you are following regional opinion and for you its the 8th day, do you start doing the duaas in order to do them simultaneously on the same day with the pigrims even though its the 8th day for you in the uk? (or do you wait till its your 9th day), in which case it will not be simultaneous because the uk's 9th day with be the 10th day in saudi?.
A)Praise be to Allaah.
The day of ‘Arafah and the fast thereon is the ninth day of the month of Dhu’l-Hijjah, which is defined for each country according to their sighting of the new moon of Dhu’l-Hijjah. So it may be on Thursday for the people of Makkah, and for others it may be on Wednesday or Saturday. It is not essential to follow the people of Makkah when there are differences in the sighting of the new moon. This is the most correct of the scholarly views, that each country has its own sighting when there is a difference concerning that.
If the Muslims in Britain have sighted the new moon, then the Muslims in that country should follow their sighting, otherwise they should follow the sighting of the country closest to them. See the answer to question no. 40720.
Secondly:
There is a great deal of virtue in offering supplication (du‘aa’) on the day of ‘Arafah, because of the hadeeth of ‘Abd-Allah ibn ‘Amr ibn al-‘Aas (may Allah be pleased with him), according to which the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “The best of supplication is supplication of the day of Arafat, and the best of what I and the Prophets before me said is: Laa ilaaha illa Allah wahdahu, laa shareeka lah, lahu’l-mulk wa lahu’l-hamd wa huwa ‘ala kulli shay’in qadeer (There is no god but Allah alone, with no partner or associate; His is the Dominion, to Him be praise, and He has power over all things).”
Narrated by al-Tirmidhi (3585) and classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Targheeb, 1536.
Does this virtue apply only to those who are in ‘Arafat, or does it include other places too?
Concerning that there is a difference of opinion among the scholars, which has been discussed previously in the answer to question no. 70782
According to the opinion that it includes other countries and places too, the same may be said concerning it as is said above. So each person should offer supplication on the ninth day of Dhu’l-Hijjah, according to the sighting of the new moon in his country, even if the pilgrims stood in ‘Arafat on the previous day or will do so on the following day.
And Allah knows best.
Islam Q&A
Alhamdulillah,i did'nt miss that day
May Allah SWT bless you with what pleases you and which is best for your Dunyah and Aakhirah.Amen.
Re: The blessed day of Arafah is tomorrow (Sat 5th Nov)
Jazakallahu Khair for sharing that. I had read else where what I stated, that being that Arafah is a place, a location and day of Arafah is then the Hajjuj stand on that location. I guess either way is acceptable.
