Supplication Said During Standing At `Arafah
On the day of `Arafah, one should repeatedly
offer this supplication of the Prophet (peace be upon him) that
goes, " There is no
god but Allah, there is no partner with Him, to Him praise is
due, and He is powerful over everything."
And recite the following Qur'anic Verse: "There is no god but He: that is
the witness of Allah, His angels, and those endued with
knowledge, standing firm on justice. There is no god but He the
Exalted in Power, the Wise."
The following supplication should be recited as well:
"O Allah! due to You
is all praise, like that we say, and even better than what we
say. O Allah! truly my prayer, service of sacrifice, my life and
my death are all for You. To You certainly will be my return and
all what I have done. O Allah! I seek refuge with Thee from the
torment of the grave, the (bad) whispering of the soul, and the
discord of all affairs. O Allah! I seek refuge with Thee from all
the evil that comes along with the wind, and from all that goes
into the dark night, and from all that goes into the daylight,
and from the vicissitudes of time."
"O Allah! You hear my words, see my place, know my hidden
and open affairs, nothing thereof is obscure to You. I am the
wretched poor one, who seeks Your refuge and aid, who fears (Your
penalty), who admits his sins. I ask Thee just as the indigent
one does, I pray Thee just as the humble sinful does, and I
invoke Thee just as done by the deeply frightened one whose neck
has been submissively lowered down for Thee, and whose tears have
been shed for fear of Thee, and whose body has been made humble
to Thee, and whose nose has been buried in dust only for
Thee." "There is no god but Allah, there is no partner
with Him, to Him praise is due, in His hands is all kinds of
good, and He is powerful over everything. O Allah! place light in
my heart, light in my breast, light in my hearing, and light in
my sight. O Allah! expand me my breast, and ease my task for me.
I seek refuge with Thee from the (bad) whispering of the soul,
the discord of all affairs, and the torment of the grave. O
Allah! I seek refuge with Thee from all that goes into the dark
night, from all that goes into the daylight, and from the evil
that comes along with the wind, and from the vicissitudes of
time."
