A brother says that when the first ten days of Dhu al-Hijjah and especially the Day of Arafah are near, then I (Sebastian) remember.

Who is this? And what does it have to do with these days?

The man tells that (Sebastian) is a German youth.

In October 2012, a company named saturn announced a competition and the winners of this competition were allowed by this company to enter the market in 150 seconds and the goods they picked up would be their prize. It does not have to be paid.



On the appointed day, for two and a half minutes, all those who won the competition, entered the market and quickly began to wrap up the goods and throw them out of the shop and pick up another one. Whoever appeared in front immediately picked up. What they wanted or didn't want, whether it was expensive or cheap, they didn't care. They just had to pack the stuff in two and a half minutes.



*But the strangest thing was Sebastian's.* He wrapped things up with the Turks according to a hastily arranged program as if he already knew everything. He would go out with the most valuable mobile, computer, laptop and good brand equipment up and down, then enter again. Others were very surprised to see his performance and selection and courage. Finally, after two and a half minutes, he fell on the ground from exhaustion and you can imagine that he had picked up 29 thousand euros worth of goods in just two and a half minutes.



And the first sentence that came out of this young man's tongue was that *I succeeded in my technique.*



Now he was interviewed how did you say this sentence? So he said that the day I heard about this competition, I used to go to this market every day and arrange in my mind where the expensive goods are lying and put my priorities at the top and think of how I will be able to visit this market for two and a half minutes. If I get a chance to go, I willHow to take valuables. Since I had planned mentally, the idea of my victory came out of my mouth in the form of words as soon as I came out.



The brother who was narrating this whole story says that in this story I saw a lesson for myself that I have to come first in these ten days like the same German youth.

He got 29 thousand euros in just two minutes. I have a lot to achieve in these ten days. On a great day like Arafah, there are many supplications to be made to Allah.



Imam Uza'i (may Allah have mercy on him) says:

*"I know nations who used to take care of their needs for the Day of Arafah (preparing their list of supplications) to ask Allah on that day."*



How will we know the greatness and grace of these days if we do not have a plan in advance on how to take advantage of these days?



How will you know that on the day of Arafah, Allah frees the most necks from hell. Allah's mercy is very intense on this day. Fasting on this day brings the message of forgiveness of the sins of the previous year and the coming year and then do not make any preparations for it.



If we know all this, then what planning did we do?



By Allah! On that day, many people received something they could not imagine because of their prayers. Therefore, let us all make a list of what we need in this world and the hereafter.

*Then on the day of Arafah, forget all work and pray to your Allah from Zuhr to Maghrib.*



. owe someone,

. relationship is not happening,

. not having children

. someone is sick,

. is poverty,

. There is inevitability in relationships

. no employment,

. Sins are many,

. Worship does not take heart,

So what are you waiting for?



We are in the most lovely days. Request your Master and express gratitude toward Allah that the day from Arafah is coming by and by in your life.



Abdullah container Mubarak, may God show kindness toward him, expresses that after Asr upon the arrival of Arafah, I went to Sufyan Thauri, may God show kindness toward him, and saw him remaining kneeling down and tears were moving from his eyes.

When they saw me, I asked them who is in the worst condition in this arena.

Who is the most unfortunate person today?

He replied that whoever thinks today that Allah will not forgive me.



O Muslims! Do not consider your sins as big on this day, but hope in Allah, He will forgive all. And don't consider any of your needs as big or impossible on this day. Ask your Lord what your heart desires.

May Allah forgive all our sins. Free us from hell. Accept all our prayers and accept our fasting, our prayers and other good deeds.

And O Lord! Take us all under the shadow of your mercy.

Ameen
