Arafa is the 9th day of Dhul Hijja of the Islamic calendar, right before the major annual Islamic feast of sacrifice, Eid al-Adha.

The tongue of the Spiritual State is even more eloquent in communicating with the dead than is that of speech when communicating with the living. The Messenger of God –God bless him and grant him peace- said, ‘When the dead man is laid in his grave it speaks to him, saying, “Woe betide you, O son of Adam! What distracted you from contemplating me? Did you not know that I am the house of trial, of darkness, and of solitude as well as of worms? What distracted you from me? You used to pass me by, strutting on!”
The best ten nights of the year are the last ten nights of Ramadan because they include the best and jewel of all nights, called laylatul qadr (night of decree and power), that is better than a thousand months and in which the entire Holy Quran was revealed.

As we eagerly anticipate the arrival of the sacred month of Ramadan, a period cherished for its spiritual introspection, communal gatherings, and fasting, we are confronted with a sobering reality that casts a shadow over our joyous preparations.

The fasting of the general public involves refraining from satisfying the appetite of the stomach and the appetite of the sex, as has already been discussed.
It is customary for people to commence their preparations for Ramadan from the month of Sha'ban, contemplating the diverse array of dishes they will prepare. While this ritual of culinary anticipation is undoubtedly significant, it is equally crucial not to overlook the importance of spiritual preparation creating an atmosphere of faith and devotion to welcome the arrival of this blessed month.
