As there are five pillars of Islam in which fasting is also an important one. Fasting is considered a very important activity during the first ten days of Dhul - Hijjah, especially on Arafah.
"One who fasts sincerely on the day of Arafah will receive forgiveness of his/her sins for the previous and following year." (Sahih Muslim 2603)
Don't forget to fast on Dhul-Hijjah. Allah Almighty said,
"All the deeds of the son of Adam are for him except fasting, which is for me and I shall reward for it."
This means that all other deeds have some reward but the reward of fasting is as much as Allah wants to give to his servant.
