Second priority: The Day of Arafah is the day when Allah perfects the Islamic religion and gives perfection of blessings
Allah revealed His word to His Prophet on the day of Arafat,
On this day I have perfected for you your religion, perfected My favor upon you, and I have confirmed for you Islam as your religion.
“Today I have perfected your religion for you, and I have satisfied you with My blessings, and I have made Islam your religion.” (QS. Al-Maidah: 3)
In the Abu-Shahihain from Tariq bin Shihab that a Jewish man came to ‘Umar bin Khaththab May Allah bless him and grant him peace and said, “O Amirul Mukminin, in the book you are reading there is a verse, if that verse had been revealed to the Jews, we would have made the day the verse was revealed a holiday.”
‘Umar said, “Which verse?” The Jews said, “That is what Allah says,
On this day I have perfected for you your religion, perfected My favor upon you, and I have confirmed for you Islam as your religion.
“On this day, I have perfected your religion for you, and I have satisfied you with My blessings, and I have made Islam your religion.” (QS. Al-Maidah: 3)
So ‘Umar said, “Indeed, I know better about when this verse was revealed and the place where this verse was revealed. This verse was revealed to the Messenger of Allah at Arafah on Friday.”
Ibn Jarir Ath-Thabary God bless when explaining the meaning of the verse above, he said, “The meaning is the day on which Allah perfects for the believers the obligations, limitations, commands and prohibitions, as well as halal and haram matters. Allah also gives guidance that Allah has determined for your needs regarding your religion. He has also perfected all of that, so there is no more addition after that day. That day is the day of Arafah in the year of Hajj Wada’ Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam.” (Jaami’ul Bayaan fii Tafsir Al-Qur’an, 8:80)
Therefore, every Muslim should, when wukuf on Arafah, always remember Allah’s blessings on humans through the perfection of this religion, and be even more enthusiastic about maintaining the Shari’a of his religion, which does not contain the slightest flaw in it. Also be alert to things heresy in religion, namely doing good with something whose law was not revealed by Allah. This is because our Prophet once said,
Every new discovery is an innovation, and every innovation is a mistake.
“Every thing (religion) that is created is heresy and every heresy is heresy.(HR. Abu Daud, authentic)
Prophet too sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam said,
Anyone who enters something that is not part of our business will be rejected.
“Whoever introduces a new matter into our affairs (religious matters) which has no origin, then that matter is rejected.” (HR. Bukhari no. 2697 and Muslim no. 1718)
Third priority: The Day of Arafat is the day of greatest liberation from hellfire
From Ummul Mu’minin ‘Asiyah radhiyallahu ‘anhaRasulullah sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam said,
There is no day when Allah frees a servant from the fire of hell other than the day of Arafah. He will come near, then he will boast of them to the angels, and say: What does this people desire?
“There is no day on which Allah brings out more servants from Hell, than on the day of Arafat. Indeed, Allah approached and praised them before the angels, saying, ‘What do they want?‘” (HR. Muslim no. 1348)
The Day of Arafat is the day of greatest liberation from hellfire. Every Muslim should be eager to return to Allah on this great day by honestly returning to Him, and hoping to Allah by praying that Allah will determine for him liberation from hell where no one is able to do it except Allah.
Every Muslim should also be enthusiastic about abandoning things that prevent him from attaining this great virtue, namely acts of shirk, heresy, and big sin. Among shirk is praying to other than Allah or diverting worship to other than Allah. Shirk is a major sin that will not be forgiven by Allah as He says,
Indeed, Allah does not forgive anyone who associates partners with Him, but He also forgives whomever He wills.
“Indeed, Allah does not forgive the sin of associating partners with (anything) with Him, and He forgives sins other than shirk for whom He wills.” (QS. An-Nisa’: 116)
Even polytheism will cancel all the good deeds of a servant. God said,
It has been revealed to you and to those before you: If you form alliances, your deeds will be invalid and you will be among the losers.
“And indeed it has been revealed to you and to (the Prophets) before you, “If you associate partners (with Allah), then your deeds will be invalid and you will undoubtedly be among the losers.” (QS. Az-Zumar: 65)
A Muslim should also be wary of his actions heresy, because this will cause the charity to be rejected and it will not be accepted.
Likewise, one must be careful not to be arrogant with oneself and arrogant towards living beings. Jabir bin ‘Abdillah narrated from the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam,
There is no day that looks more free from the fire of hell than the day of Arafat, and Allah will not forgive those who boast on that day.
“There is no greater day of deliverance from hell than the day of Arafat, and Allah does not forgive the arrogant on that day..”
And it is also original from the Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam,
On the Day of Judgment, Allah will not look at people who pull their clothes because they are arrogant
“Allah does not look at those who drag their clothes arrogantly.” (HR. ‘Abdurrazzaq, hadith hasan)
Likewise, a Muslim should be wary of continuing to commit major sins. The five daily prayers are the greatest pillars of Islam after the shahada. They will not remove the sins of people who continue to commit major sins, as the Prophet emphasized. Prophet sallallaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam said,
The five daily prayers and Friday to Friday prayers are atonement for sins between the two, as long as major sins are not ignored.
“Praying five times a day and praying from Friday to the next Friday is an expiation for sins in between as long as you don’t commit major sins.” (HR. Muslim no. 233)
Therefore, the Hajj pilgrims who are glorified by Allah by carrying out this noble act of worship should be enthusiastic on that day to obtain liberation from hell and always pray to obtain it and be determined in their hearts honestly to leave behind various major sins and evils so that they can obtain great benefits and great privileges from Allah.
So whoever survives the fire of hell and enters heaven will be lucky. And the life of this world is nothing but deceptive pleasure.
“Whoever is kept away from hell and put into heaven, then indeed he is lucky. Worldly life is nothing but deceptive pleasure.” (QS. Ali ‘Imran: 185)

PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
