- Depart from Mina for Arafat getting there hopefully before dhuhur
- Pray dhuhur and asr combined and shortened
- Do not waste a single moment of these hours making dua
- Do not be fooled by a guide and be led to a special place, stay close to your tent so that you don’t get lost
- Listen carefully to the khutbah and Arafat and do not talk during it. It is not like Jumah khutbah but it is sunnah and you want to make sure you take advantage of these moments.
- The prophet (saw) said: „The best thing I and the prophets have said on the eve of Arafat is: la ilaha ilAllah wahdahu la shareeka lah, lahul mulku wa lahul hamd, wa huwa ala kulle shayin qadeer
- There is no basis in the sunnah for congregational or group dua in Arafat so make it personal.
- Leave for muzdallifah after the sun sets. If you can walk then do so.
- Make Takbeer, Tahleel, and Thikr
- Pray both maghrib and isha in muzdallifa joined and combined.
- The priority is rest if you can.
- Collect the stones for the jamarat (collect atleast 80 small hummus sized pebbles). This can be done in Mina also.
- No matter what package you’re with everyone in muzdallifah sleeps on the ground outside. This is where a small „yoga mat“ comes in handy.
