YOUM-E-ARAFAH | May 26, 2026

On Tuesday, May 26, the 9th of Dhul-Hijjah, we will observe the blessed Day of Arafah.

Join us at 6:30 PM for a special evening of Dhikr, duas, and Iftar as we break our fast together.

The Day of Arafah is one of the most sacred days in Islam, when pilgrims gather on the plains of Arafah in worship and supplication to Allah (SWT). For those not performing Hajj, fasting on this day is a highly recommended Sunnah of the Prophet ﷺ.

The Prophet ﷺ said:

“Fasting on the Day of Arafah expiates the sins of the previous year and the coming year.” (Muslim)

Iftar dinner will be served.

If you would like to contribute toward the Iftar, either partially or fully, please contact Admin Sr. Christina.
