Intention And Priority Of Arafah Fasting Ahead Of Eid Al-Adha

JAKARTA - One day before Eid al-Adha or Eid al-Kurban, Muslims are set to fast, namely the fast of Arafah. The fasting of Arafah is very dear if you miss it because fasting has many virtues.

Arafah fasting is a recommended fast for Muslims who are not carrying out the pilgrimage. Arafah fasting is done right after fasting Dzulhijjah and Tarwiyah, namely on 9 Dzulhijjah. The priority of fasting Arafah is very large, so it is included in the fast of sunnah which is highly recommended (sunnah iangkad).

Launching from various sources, here are four main priorities for Arafah fasting, namely:

Muslims who fast Arafah will get rewards in the form of abolition of sins for two years. Two years are meant to be one year before carrying out and one year after implementing it. This is in line with the hadith:

You can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help me, you can't.

Meaning: From Abi Qadadah RA said that the Prophet SAW said, "Fasting the day of Arafah abolishes the sins of two years, namely the previous year and the year after. Fasting Ashura' spent the sins of the previous year." (HR. Hadis expert congregation except for Bukhari and Tarmizi).

Muslims who fast Arafah will be granted their prayers. This is in line with the hadith:

You can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't help yourself, you can't.

Meaning: "Among the days that Allah has freed a person from hell a lot is Arafah's day. He will approach them and will show their virtue to the angels. Then Allah bless you: What do they want?" (HR. Muslim).

Implementing the fast of Arafah can make Muslims free from the fire of hell. This is in line with the hadith:

You can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't help it, you can't.

Meaning: "There is no day that God frees servants from hell more than on the day of Arafah," (HR Muslim).

The first ten days of the month of Dzulhijjah are the most loved days by Allah SWT. Performing the fast of Arafah on one of these days was very much liked by Allah SWT. From Ibnu Umar RA, Prophet SAW said:

"There are no more majestic days in the sight of Allah and charity in them is more loved by Him than the tenth day (the first ten days of Dzulhijjah)" (HR Ahmad).

For anyone who wants to observe the fast of Arafah, of course, must know the intention of fasting Arafah. Reading the intention is one of the legal requirements for fasting. The following is the intention of fasting Arafah.

Let's take care of it, let's take care of it, let's take care of it. Let's take care of it, let's take care of it.

Latin: Nawaitu shauma arafata sunnatan lillenghi ta'menul Badminton.

Meaning: "I intend to fast the sunnah of Arafah because of Allah ta'men."

That is the priority and intention before fasting Arafah. May Allah SWT make it easy for you in carrying out your worship.
