ARAFAH
{Prescription of Shaykh Ibrahim Niasse}

Primarily Sourced;
From a letter written by the Shaykh (RA) in Kaolack around 1934,
mentioned in the handwritten collection entitled “al-Durrah al-
Kharidah wa al-Yaqutah al-Faridah min Rasa’il Sahib al-Faydah
al-Tijaniyyah wa Hamil Rayat al-Shari’ah wa al-Tariqah wa al-
Haqiqah fi s-Sirri wa l-Alaniyah (The Unique Pearl and the Rare
Ruby from the Letters of the Bringer of the Tijani Faydah and the
Carrier of the Banner of Shari’ah, Tariqah and Haqiqah in private

Information presented by:

Imam Fakhruddin Owaisi (South-Africa)
As-Salam Alaykum dear ones,

The Day of Arafah is the greatest Day of the Year just as the
Laylat-ul-Qadr is the greatest Night. This Deen was revealed on the
Laylat al-Qadr and completed on the Yawm Arafah.

Besides lots of Dhikr and Du'a, Tijanis can do these things on that
sacred day and after:

1- Fast on the Day!

Our Master of Masters, the blessed Prophet Muhammad (SAW)

used to fast on that Day.

He also said that Allah will forgive the sins of the "past year" and
the "coming year" of the person who fasts on that Day.

Sidna Shaykh Ibrahim Niasse (RA) used say that this means that
person who fasts on that day will hopefully live another year!

2- Recite the Ayat al-Hirs (Verse No 128 till end of Surah Tawbah),
360 Times before Sunset with the intention of Protection, Mercy
and Guidance for the whole year.

Here are the Verses (last two verses of Surah 9):

These blessed Verses are known as Ayat al-Hirs, and contain great
Divine and Muhammadan Secrets. This was narrated from our
Master Sayyidina Shaykh Ahmad al-Tijani (RA) himself.
3- To recite the special Salawat called Yaqutat al-Haqa'iq (The
Ruby of Realities) 161 times, as that is considered equivalent to
standing on Arafah.
"Please find enclosed below"

However, this is only for those Tijanis who have IJAZAH in this
unique Salawat, that was granted by the Prophet (SAW) to Shaykh
Ahmad Tijani (RA) in a state of wakefullness.

4- Prepare for the slaughtering of the Sacrifical Sheep on the Great

Day of Eid-ul-Adha. It is indeed a Symbol of ISLAM and a great
Sunnah of the Prophets, from Abraham (A.S.) till Muhammad
(SAW).

There are GREAT blessings in Slaughtering on that day. Every

Muslim must try to slaughter one sheep for every member of their
family.

If you cant afford for everyone, then 1 for yourself and 1 for the
wife. If that is also not possible, then you MUST slaughter 1 sheep
for the whole family.

The Prophet (SAW) said that our Intentions for slaughtering reach
Allah even before the blood falls on the ground. He (SAW) also
stated that our sins are forgiven in accordance with every hair of
that slaughtered sheep.

This is a great sacrifice! One never be miserly with this great

Ibadah. Many people say "We cant afford a sheep" but spend even
more money on Dunya things. They must realize the Blessing they
are missing.

It is preferred to slaughter yourself in your own hometown, reciting

the Takbir with your family. However, it is allowed to send the
money elsewhere to get the sheep slaughtered there. Tijanis may
send to Shaykh Tijani Cisse and Shaykh Mahy Cisse in Medina-
Baye, as they also collect the monies and slaughter the sheep there,
which is then distributed to the poor in Senegal.

The Prophet (SAW) reccomended that all those who will slaughter,
should not cut their nails or hair , from the 1st of the month till the
Day of Eid, in imitatation of the Holy Pilgrims. However, it is not a
condition.

It is also reccomended that on the Day of the Eid, we eat nothing

before the Prayer, and thereafter eat from the Slaughtered Animal,
as there is great barakah in that Sacrifical meat.

All these Sunnahs are upkept by our Shaykhs in Medina-Baye.

5- Recite the Takbir loudly after every Obligatary Prayer from the
Fajr of the Day of Arafah (9th Zil-Hajj) till the Asr of the 13th day.
It is a great Sunnah, in which we celebrate Allah's Bounties on the
Pilgrims and on this blessed Ummah of Muhammad (SAW) and
nation of Islam.

The Day of Arafah is the 9th of Dhi-'l-Hajj, when the Hujjaj stand
on the sacred plains of ARAFAH!

Our Guide Shaykh al-Haj Ibrahim Niasse (RA) also gave some
advice to his students on what to do in the holy nights of Ramadan.
I mention them here again, as the occasion is similar and the virtues
of these actions remain evergreen. He says:
I advise you to promptly recite the Wirds of the Tijani Path, for
they are best Zikrs of Tarbiyah

And I advise you to talk about and discuss the Status of our Shaykh
al-Khatm al-Tijani (RA) with your fellow disciples, for that is better
than all Awrad

And I advise you to mention and recall his Faydah through which
Allah established His Realities in your hearts and made you taste
his Divine Sciences. So that you may comprehend the value of this
blessing, and thank Allah and not be ungrateful
