RNA – In an exclusive interview with Rasa News Agency, Hujjat al-Islam Ali Ehtesham-‎Kashani, a senior lecturer in the Islamic Seminary of Qom, spoke of the Day of Arafah and ‎said, “The highlights and characteristics of the first ten blessed days of the month of Dhil-‎Hijjah are the Day of Arafah and Eid al-Adha, which are the best hours, nights and days for ‎the servants of God after the holy month of Ramadhan throughout the year.” ‎
‎ ‎
He added, “If the righteous servants of the truth want to be in the presence of the Lord in ‎order to receive all the rewards, the best way to attain this is to attend the prayers and ‎festivities on the afternoon of the Day of Arafah.”‎
‎ ‎
Hujjat al-Islam Ehtesham-Kashani said, “Certainly, those who are participate in the gatherings ‎in which the Supplication of Arafah is recited, in addition to focusing on its apparent ‎meaning, will certainly benefit from the truth of its meaning. If the Holy Quran has decreed ‎‎‘Call Me, and I will hear you!’ all the conditions must be provided and one of the main ‎obstacles that deprives one from presence in a true prayer is disregarding the meanings of ‎the supplications.”‎
‎ ‎
His Eminence stated, “What is important on the Day of Arafah, both for those on the Plain ‎of Arafat near the Mount of Mercy and for those who are far away from the Plain of Arafat, ‎is that throughout this year, man understands this special day with all its qualities. In order to ‎come to the truth of the knowledge of God Almighty, man must make amends for his sins ‎and with deep and precise connectedness, he can reform his relationship with God ‎throughout the year.”‎
‎ ‎
He ‎said, “We hope that all of our acts of worship will be accepted on this day and we pray ‎for all those who are striving to defend the holy Shrines in Iraq, Syria, Palestine and Yemen ‎and don’t neglect to pray for the destruction of the enemies of Islam and the Islamic ‎Revolution. We pray to God that our problems are resolved due to the supplications recited ‎on this day.”‎

Hujjat al-Islam Ehtesham-Kashani ‎noted, “As the Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution ‎‎[Ayatollah Khamenei] has said, we have entered the second phase of the building of ‎ourseves, society and civilization during the end times. The best tools are supplication and ‎deep communion with God.”‎
