An Evaluation on the Benefits of the Day Arafa Based On Hadiths

Allah Teâlâ has rendered some days superior to others in terms of their virtue, just like the supremacy of Ramadan to other months, The Qadr Night to other nights, Friday to other days, etc. The superiority of the Arafa Day and Friday to other days is a fine example of that. Arafa day is a blessed day because vaqfa, which is an important pillar in Hajj, is performed on that day. There are many Hadiths about the importance of that special day. In this study, we will not focus on the prayers and worship performed on that special day but the importance and virtues of that day in terms of hadith narrating. Our purpose in this article is to introduce a modest study determining the quality of the narratives about the virtue of Arafa Day.
