Fast the Day of Arafah

صِيَامُ يَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ أَحْتَسِبُ عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ يُكَفِّرَ السَّنَةَ الَّتِي قَبْلَهُ وَالسَّنَةَ الَّتِي بَعْدَهُ

Siyamu yawmi 'Arafata ahtasibu 'ala-llahi an yukaffira-s-sanata-llati qablahu wa-s-sanata-llati ba'dah.

Fasting the Day of Arafah, I hope from Allah that it expiates the year before it and the year after.
