Al-Imam
An-Nawawi said:
This
day (the day of Arafah) is the best day
of the year for prayer, so it is necessary
that a person exhaust his effort
in dhikr, prayer and the recitation of the Qur’ān. And he should pray with the
various types of du’aa; he should pray for himself, his parents, his family,
his teachers, his companions, his friends, his beloveds, all those who did good
to him and the Muslims generally. And he should be careful; totally careful from being inadequate regarding all
of that. For indeed this day can not be attained again (once it is lost).
