For those going for Hajj - Please Note
Please:
Don't ruin your 'Arafah, unlike hundreds of thousands that do every year.
Sleep well night before and morning after Fajr on Day of Arafah because the critical time starts from Dhuhr onwards until end of Asr on Arafah.
Pack some nuts, dry fruits and dates for Arafah for both salt and sugar intake. Ample water is available at Arafah already. Forfeit your lunch that will be provided to you - do NOT eat it. Leave your tent after Dhuhr/Asr (that is prayed combined there), and make Dua privately somewhere away from your tent.
Many people end up sleeping or talking while staying at their tent and eating the lunch. They waste thousands of dollars on this day!
Prophet salAllahu 'alayhi wasallam said: Hajj is 'Arafah.
This IS what you came for and to connect with Allah and acknowledge ALL YOUR SINS AND ASK FOR FORGIVENESS!!
Please prepare 5-10 pages of Duas for you and everyone else. ASK YOUR LOVED ONES TO GIVE YOU THEIR DUA REQUESTS. And keep repeating the Duas for all the 6-7 hours you will be there.
Don't ruin it and please make Dua for everyone.
JazakAllah khayran
