The Significance of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Ashra of Ramadan

Ramadan is considered to be the most blessed month in the Islamic calendar and is observed with respect all around the world. To seek Allah Almighty’s blessings, Muslims pray, fast, and give charity. The entire month is divided into three Ashras. This guide can help you learn more about these three Ashras and significance of Ramadan.   

First Ashra 

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Allah will not be merciful to those who are not merciful to mankind.” [Sahih al-Bukhari 7376] 

The first ten days of the Holy Month of Ramadan are all about mercy. As we seek mercy from Allah (SWT), we should also be merciful towards those who are in great pain. How will you seek Allah Almighty’s mercy this Ramadan? Embrace the spirit of Ramadan by caring for the underprivileged with your Zakat.     

Dua for the first Ashra: “Oh Everliving, The Everlasting, I seek Your help through Your mercy.”

Second Ashra

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Charity (Sadaqah) extinguishes sin, just as water extinguishes fire.” [Tirmidhi 614]

During the Second Ashra of Ramadan, we turn to Allah Almighty in repentance and seek forgiveness. Besides making supplications, we can also ask for Allah (SWT)’s forgiveness by giving charity to help those who are suffering. Give your Zakat, Sadaqah, and other donations without any delay to make the most of this time. 

Dua for the second Ashra: “I seek forgiveness from Allah for all my sins and turn to Him.”

Third Ashra

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: “Save yourself from Hell-fire even by giving half a date-fruit in charity.” [Sahih al-Bukhari 1417]

During the third Ashra of the Holy Month of Ramadan, we save ourselves from hell-fire. Our rewards for charity and other good deeds are also multiplied during this time. Muslims around the world increase their donations to maximize their blessings. 

We’ve designed our Ramadan Donation Plan to make sure you never miss Laylat al-Qadr, the night worth more than 1000 months. 

Dua for the third Ashra: “Oh Allah, save me from the hellfire.”
