First Thing To Do OnThe Day of Arafah

Bismillah 

The day of Arafah is the day we are reminded of the Day of Judgment and the purpose of our existence.

The first thing we should do now is to repent to Allah because none of us have lived our lives the way that we should, keeping Allah a priority  living exactly as Allah has wanted. This is the day Allah accepts everyone du'a and repentance, as long as we are sincere. This is the day you promise you will make Allah, His Deen and the Quran the priority and everything else is secondary. 

And [mention] when your Lord took from the children of Adam - from their loins - their descendants and made them testify of themselves, [saying to them], "Am I not your Lord?" They said, "Yes, we have testified." [This] - lest you should say on the day of Resurrection, "Indeed, we were of this unaware." [Quran, Al A'raf 7:172]

Recite this du'a in abundance on this day.

  لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له له الملك وله الحمد وهو على كل شيء قدي

May Allah pardon us and save us from the Hellfire. May Allah accept our fast, our qiyam, our du'as, our good deeds. Aameen.
