The Day of Arafah falls on the 9th of Dhul Hijjah, the day before Eid al-Adha. The Day of Arafah 2026 is expected on May 26, 2026. It is considered the best day of the entire year in Islam, when pilgrims gather at Mount Arafah and non-pilgrims are encouraged to fast.
The Day of Arafah is the most important day of the Hajj pilgrimage and one of the most sacred days in the Islamic calendar. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: "There is no day on which Allah frees more people from the Fire than the Day of Arafah." Standing at Arafah is the essential pillar of Hajj — without it, the pilgrimage is invalid. For non-pilgrims, fasting on this day expiates the sins of the previous year and the coming year.
