to the Asr of the 13th of Zul Hijjah. The Takbeeraat should be recited once only. The words are
as follows:
Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar laa ilaha illallahu wallahu akbar. Allahu Akbar walillaahilhamd.
Translation: "Allah is the Greatest, Allah is the Greatest. There is no deity besides Allah and
Allah is the Greatest. Allah is the Greatest and all praises belong to Him Alone."
NB. Men should recite this Takbeer audibly whilst females should do so softly.
Fasting on the day of Arafah (9 Zil Hijjah)
It was reported from Abu Qutaadah that the Messenger of Allah(peace be upon him) was asked
about fasting on the Day of 'Arafah[9 Zul Hijjah]. He said, "It atones for the sins of the
previous year and of the coming year." (Hadith-Narrated by Muslim)
Qurbani / Udhiyya
Hazrat Zaid bin Arqam (R.A.) reports that the Companions of Rasulullah (Sallalaho alihe
wassallam) asked him:
" Oh Prohpet of Allah (pbuh), what is this sacrifice?" He said: "It is the way of your forefather
Ibrahim(AS) ." They asked:"What (reward) is for us therein?" He replied: "There is a
reward for every hair (i.e. the reward for meat and useful parts of the animal's body will be
very lofty in merit, but there will also be a great reward for the parts which are useless andthrown away such as the hair)." They asked: "For the wool, Ya Rasulullah?" He replied: "There
is one reward for every strand of wool." (Hadith:Ahmed, Ibn Majah)
