It is said that when Allah, the Almighty forgives a sin for one worshiper at the
place of standing (the plain of Arafat), He forgives it for everyone there who is
guilty of it. One of the elders said that when the Day of Arafat coincides with the
Day of Congregation (i.e. falls on a Friday), all those present at Arafat are
forgiven and it is the most excellent day in the world.
It was on such a day that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him,
made his Farewell Pilgrimage. While he was standing there he received the
Revelation from Allah, the Almighty: -
“…This day I have perfected your religion for you and completed My favor to you.
I have approved Islam to be your religion. …” (Koran Ch. 5 verse 3)
The people of the Book (Jews and Christians) said: “If this revelation had come
down to us we would have made it a festival day.” Umar said: “I am witness to
the fact that it was on a double festival day that this Revelation came down to
The Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, as he was standing at
Arafat, the Day of Arafat and the day of Congregation.”
