Day of Arafah Designs

What do people share on the Day of Arafah?
The dua. Arafah is the day of supplication before anything else, and almost everything shared on it carries a written prayer rather than a greeting. A design that puts the dua in readable Arabic script is the thing that actually gets forwarded.

What can you design?

  • Cards carrying the dua of Arafah

  • Posts on the merit of the day

  • Reminders to fast the ninth of Dhul Hijjah

  • Backgrounds showing Mount Arafat

  • Takbir and remembrance designs

  • Stories and WhatsApp status images

How do you make the dua readable?
Keep the supplication large and the background quiet, and set it in an Andalusi Arabic calligraphy font so the diacritics render correctly. A dua that has to be zoomed into is a dua nobody reads.

الأسئلة الشائعة

When is the Day of Arafah?
The ninth of Dhul Hijjah, the day before Eid al-Adha. It runs from dawn to sunset, while the pilgrims' standing at Arafah extends from midday to the dawn of Eid. The Gregorian date is confirmed by the relevant authority. Andalusi lets you design the card early and adjust the date on announcement.
What is the best supplication on the Day of Arafah?
It is reported that the finest supplication is that of the Day of Arafah, and the best said by the Prophet and those before him affirms the oneness of God, His sovereignty, His praise and His power over all things. It is repeated alongside your own supplications. Andalusi lets you set it on a card to share that day.
What is the merit of fasting on Arafah?
Fasting that day is a confirmed practice for those not on pilgrimage, and it is reported to expiate the year before and the year after. Pilgrims themselves are not encouraged to fast it, so they keep their strength for supplication and standing. Andalusi lets you design a reminder post the day before.
What design suits a Day of Arafah post?
A calm sand or white background with a soft gradient, a Thuluth or Naskh script for the supplication, and generous empty space, since the day is devotional rather than festive. Avoid heavy ornament and bright colour. Andalusi has Arafah and last-ten layouts at post and story sizes.
