The Eve of Arafah, ninth of Dhyl-Hajjah, is a special night in which prayers are accepted. The day of the ninth is one of the most blessed days of the year. It is said that on this day, God's blessings are even bestowed upon the unborn. Pilgrimage of Imam Hossain (PBUH) on this day is said to be equivalent, in heavenly measures to one thousand Hajs and one thousand Omrahs and more... . There is a magnificent prayer, in praising the Almighty, narrated from Imam Hossain (PBUH) which the Imam recited while he was in the land of Arafaat . This prayer is a heavenly ocean of Monotheistic gnosis . While fasting is recommended on this heavenly occasion, but reciting Imam Hossain 's prayer of Arafah is so important on this day that it is said, if fasting may make you too tired to recite this prayer, then fast not and do recite the prayer. Forget us not , in your prayers !

We also wish to offer our warmest felicitations on the auspicious occasion of Eid-Ol-Adha. May all of us be blessed with the opportunity to go on the heavenly journey of Haj, Amen!
