Deed 2 in Dhul-Hijja -Fast


2. Fast all nine days and especially on the ‘ Day of Arafah’
We should try to our utmost ability to fast in these sanctified days. It may be hard- but hard are the things that have worth. 
The Prophet peace be up on him, pbuh said: “Anyone who fasts for one day for Allah’s pleasure, Allah will keep his face away from the (Hell) fire for (a distance covered by a journey of) seventy years.” (Bukhari, Muslim)
The Prophet peace be up on him, pbuh used to fast on the ninth day of Dhul-Hijja and he said: “Fasting the Day of ‘Arafah (ninth Dhul-Hijja) is an expiation for (all the sins of) the previous year and expiation for (all the sins of) the coming year.” (Muslim)

Just imagine... fasting on one day expiates your sins of the previous year and future year! I mean seriously yo..this is a huge opportunity Allah (swt) gives us- don't let it go to waste!
