On the 9th day of Dhul-Hijjah, pilgrims from all over the world gather at Arafat for one of the holiest moments in Islam. But did you know that this sacred place is tied to the stories of many prophets?
In this powerful episode, we travel through time to explore how the Day of Arafah connects to the lives of Prophet Adam (AS), Ibrahim (AS), Musa (AS), ʿIsa (AS), and Muhammad (SAW). From Adam’s reunion and repentance, to Ibrahim’s Hajj, Musa’s remembrance of God, Isa’s future pilgrimage, and the Prophet Muhammad’s Farewell Sermon—this day holds meaning that stretches across centuries.
Join us as we uncover the beautiful spiritual links, reflect on why Arafah is known as the Day of Mercy, and finish with a fun quiz to test what you've learned.
