In this article, we’ll walk you through step-by-step five things you absolutely shouldn’t miss on Arafat Day.

And what’s better than combining reward with saving? Especially with Eid just around the corner and preparations for gifts, clothes, and hospitality underway.
Stay with us in this article and discover how to make this Arafat Day different this year, with stronger spirituality, a warmer family atmosphere, a smarter shopping experience, and memories that last a lifetime.
Start the day with pure spirituality
Start Arafat Day differently from any other day. Purify your intention early and keep your heart present. Begin your day with the remembrance of Allah and prayer, especially the famous Arafah supplication narrated by Imam Hussein — it is one of the greatest prayers of this day.
If you are not a pilgrim, make sure to fast because fasting on Arafat Day expiates the sins of the previous year and the coming year. Then take some quiet time for yourself, free from distractions, to review what you did this year, what you want to change, and what you want to ask Allah for.
Don’t miss family gatherings
Arafat Day is an unmissable opportunity to gather the family together. Whether it’s over iftar after fasting or during a simple spiritual session before Maghrib prayer, the atmosphere is unique. So, make your home special for this day; add simple decorations like symbolic ornaments or small lanterns to change the ambiance and make the kids feel the day is different. And with them, don’t forget to explain beautifully and simply what Arafat Day means and why it is important for us as Muslims, letting them join in the prayers.
Also, preparing a group breakfast on this day has a special joy, especially when accompanied by warm talks and heartfelt prayers. Even if some family members can’t be physically present, arrange a video call to exchange prayers and congratulations on this blessed day. These simple moments have a big impact and bring hearts closer.
Prepare smarter for Eid al-Adha
One important thing on Arafat Day is to prepare yourself and your family well for Eid al-Adha, whether by buying new clothes, gifts, or household and hospitality needs. This is the time for smart planning and saving!
Instead of going store to store looking for deals, with Yajny, you can find everything in one place. Whether you want to buy Eid clothes from 6th Street or Trendyol, or prepare your home with appliances from Alsaif Gallery or Noon, Yajny makes it easier. There are discount codes for all stores that save you money immediately, plus cashback that returns a percentage of your spending to your app wallet. So you buy what you want and get money back to use later for whatever you need.
Capture the precious moments
Don’t forget to document your gatherings this day with a special photo of you with your family or kids, so you always remember the good moments. Also, with Yajny, you can gift your loved ones the best presents at the best prices to make this Eid’s memories even sweeter.
For example, you might gift your wife a new perfume from Abdulsamad Al Qurashi, your mother health and beauty products from Bath & Body Works, or your kids new toys from Amazon. All at very affordable prices during Yajny’s Eid al-Adha sales.
Start fresh
Arafat Day is the beginning of a new year through which you can purify your intention and start a new page with your Lord and those around you. So take time to self-reflect and reconsider all your affairs, even with yourself, and let it be a day when your perspective changes and you begin a year full of goodness, happiness, and success with your loved ones.
And don’t forget, the end of Arafat Day is as important as its beginning. Before sunset, be keen on prayer, seeking forgiveness, and asking mercy for yourself, your family, and friends. Remind yourself of the blessings of health, having your family around you, and the sustenance in your hands. Make a vow to yourself that your intention remains pure in everything you do, even simple things like shopping or saving.
Conclusion
Arafat Day is a great opportunity to renew our covenant with Allah, purify our intentions, and bring our hearts closer to the mercy of the heavens.
