Imām ibn al-Qayyim said: Allāh said about the munāfiqīn: "They do not remember Allah except a little" [4:142]

Making the most of A'rafah;
The complete first 10 days of Dhul-Hijjah are given immense value by Allah S.W.T. He attaches so much importance to these days that He S.W.T swears by them in The Holy Quran.
Allah, the Most High & Exalted says: “By the Dawn; By the ten nights”
[Surah Al-Fajr:1-2]
1. Fasting,
For those not going to hajj, fasting on this day will absolve the sins from the previous year and the coming year, make sure you fast!
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Fasting the day of `Arafah expiates the sins of two years: the past one and the coming one.” (Muslim)
2. Stay clear of Major sins,
including Shirk, Zina, disobedience to parents, bribery, not giving Zakah, drinking, slandering, interest, losing hope in the Mercy of Allah and not fearing Allah, instead focus so hard on praying extra Ibadah
3. Make Fard Salah your TOP priority,
Remember-If you can fix your Salah, your Salah will fix everything else for you
4. Recite Tahleel, Takbeer, Tahmeed and Tasbeeh multiple times a day,
Takbeer means Allahu Akbar,
Tahmeed means Alhamdulilah
Tahleel is Laa-ilaaha-ilAllah
Tasbeeh is SubhanAllah.
5. Recite Quran abundantly,
If you already are in habit of reading Quran regularly, then you may set a goal of reading another Juz or reading the Tafseer of a Surah or two everyday during these 10 days, especially on the Day of Arafah.
6. It is the day of forgiveness of sins, freedom from the Fire,
Prophet (ﷺ) said: “There is no day on which Allaah frees more people from the Fire than the Day of ‘Arafaah. He comes close and expresses His pride to the angels, saying, ‘What do these people want?’” [Muslim]
7. Be extra nice to your parents,
This one is probably the most difficult one for young Muslims. No matter how angry you are at your parents for any reason, make a promise to yourself on the Day of Arafah that you will never get angry at them anymore.
8. Give Charity,
Spending in the way of Allah is one of the most beloved acts of worship in Islam. Charity does not only mean you have to spend money on the poor probably anything that puts smile on people face is a charity.
9. Re-think the purpose of your life and make a fresh start,
We don’t think about the purpose of our lives everyday. These 10 days including the Day of Arafah can be the turning point in your life.
10. Go out of your way to do Ibadah & more good deeds, make lots of Du'as, taubah and Istighfar.

Verily, those who belie Our Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.) and treat them with arrogance, for them the gates of heaven will not be opened, and they will not enter Paradise until the camel goes through the eye of the needle (which is impossible). Thus do We recompense the Mujrimun (criminals, polytheists, sinners, etc.).

وَأَنفِقُواْ مِن مَّا رَزَقۡنَٰكُم مِّن قَبۡلِ أَن يَأۡتِىَ أَحَدَكُمُ ٱلۡمَوۡتُ فَيَقُولَ رَبِّ لَوۡلَآ أَخَّرۡتَنِىٓ إِلَىٰٓ أَجَلٍ قَرِيبٍ فَأَصَّدَّقَ وَأَكُن مِّنَ ٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ
And spend (in charity) of that with which We have provided you, before death comes to one of you and he says: "My Lord! If only You would give me respite for a little while (i.e. return to the worldly life), then I should give Sadaqah (i.e. Zakat) of my wealth, and be among the righteous [i.e. perform Hajj (pilgrimage to Makkah)].

Being full (from food) makes the body heavy, hardens the heart, removes astuteness, brings about sleep and weakens the individual from performing acts of worship.

As you get more religious, your love for others is supposed to increase. You get kinder, more tolerant & wiser; not about being arrogant.

“The one who repents from sin is like one who did not sin, and if the sin is removed, then the punishment and consequences are also removed.”
