Q
Why might the day of the revelation of a significant verse be considered a festival day?
A
A Jew said to `Umar, “O Chief of the Believers, if this verse: ‘This day I have perfected your religion
for you, completed My favors upon you, and have chosen for you, Islam as your religion.’ (5.3) had
been revealed upon us, we would have taken that day as an `Id (festival) day.” `Umar said, “I know
definitely on what day this Verse was revealed; it was revealed on the day of `Arafat, on a Friday.”
