About this Event
“There is no day on which Allah frees more people from the Fire than the Day of Arafah…” (Muslim)
Among the sacred first ten days of Dhul Hijjah, the Day of Arafah stands as the most powerful of them all. This is the day when millions of pilgrims gather on the plains of Arafah, raising trembling hands and spilling their hearts before Allah.
For those of us who long for that moment but cannot make Hajj, we want you to experience something of this moment.
This year, we invite you to honour the day of Arafah:
A Two-Part Arafah Experience for the Heart:
Part 1: Online Dua Workshop
🗓 Saturday 23rd May, 11am-12pm
📍 Online via Zoom
Making dua isn’t always easy. What do you say? How do you ask? How do you ask with presence?
This session will guide you through the etiquettes of dua and give useful tips to help you establish genuine connection and presence in your dua.
Part 2: Day of Arafah Retreat
🗓 Tuesday 26th May, 1:30pm-4:45pm
📍St Ethelburgas Tent, London
An immersive afternoon of dua, reflection, reminders and connection with Allah where you will be emulating the pilgrims at Arafah and calling upon Allah.
Goodie bag included!
