Have you ever heard of fasting tarwiyah and fasting arafah? Have you done it before? Do not underestimate the fasting tarwiyah and fasting this arafah, because fasting sunnah has many benefits.
The month of Dhu al-Hijjah has already arrived which is the last month of the Hijjriyah year. Muslims have a big agenda in this month that is to perform the pilgrimage and Eid al-Adha. Before celebrating Eid al-Adha there is a fasting sunna tarwiyah and arafah fasting.
When is tarwiyah fasting and arafah fasting? Fasting tarwiyah is a fast that was held on 8 dzulhijjah. While the fasting sunnah arafah is fasting which was held on the 9th Dhul-Hijjah.
Launched from tebuireng.online, tarwiyah fasting can be done for Muslims who are performing the pilgrimage and who do not perform the pilgrimage, and even recommended fasting from the 1st Dzulhijjah. Meanwhile asaah fasting is for those who do not perform the pilgrimage.
Fasting tarwiyah and arafah this is highly recommended for Muslims who do not perform Hajj in order to share the pleasure of Muslims who are performing pilgrimage in Makkah. In addition, the two fasting sunnah in the month of Dhu al-Hijjah also has a virtue that can remove the sins that have been done by people who carry out this fast.
"When the fast on that day is forgiven the past sins and the sin that is to come. So, what we have done now is forgiven, which has not been done by Allah has forgiven more first". said Chairman of Commission of Da'wah and Community Development of Ulama Council of Indonesia (MUI), Kiai Cholil Nafis.
He also said that Muslims desperately need the forgiveness of Allah therefore Muslims should have been competing to perform tarwiyah fasting and arafah in this Dhul-Hijjah.
"Fasting on the day can eradicate the sin of two years that has come and come, and fasting assyura (10 Muharram) eliminate the sin of a year off". (Al-Hadits Muslim).
So let's fasting tomorrow :)
