The Three Ashras of Ramadan

Ramadan is divided into three spiritual stages — each ten days (Ashra) with a unique focus: Mercy, Forgiveness and Salvation. Reflect deeply and nurture your soul through these sacred days.

1st Ashra

Days of Mercy (Rahmah)

The first ten days of Ramadan are filled with Allah’s mercy — a time to seek His compassion and extend kindness to others.

2nd Ashra

Days of Forgiveness (Maghfirah)

The second ten days invite us to seek forgiveness, cleanse the heart, and rebuild our relationship with Allah ﷻ through repentance.

3rd Ashra

Days of Salvation (Nijat)

The final ten days focus on protection from the Hellfire — a time of deep worship and the pursuit of Laylatul Qadr, the Night of Power.

Ramadan Resources – Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why do Muslims fast during Ramadan?

Muslims fast to fulfil Allah’s command and strengthen their faith. Fasting teaches self-control, gratitude, and empathy for those in need. It purifies the heart, renews discipline, and deepens one’s connection with Allah.

2. What are the spiritual benefits of fasting?

Fasting cultivates patience, humility, and mindfulness. It purifies the soul from sin, increases taqwa (God-consciousness), and reminds believers that true nourishment comes from remembrance of Allah, not material comfort.

3. What is the significance of Zakat and Sadaqah in Ramadan?

Ramadan magnifies the reward of every good deed. Giving Zakat and Sadaqah during this blessed month purifies wealth and strengthens compassion. It supports the poor and ensures that every believer can share in the joy of Ramadan.

4. How can I calculate my Zakat during Ramadan?

Identify your total assets—savings, gold, investments, and income—then subtract debts. If the remaining amount exceeds the Nisab, pay 2.5% as Zakat. Many Muslims prefer to calculate and distribute it during Ramadan for greater reward.

5. What are the Three Ashras of Ramadan?

Ramadan is divided into three parts: the first ten days of mercy, the next ten of forgiveness, and the final ten for salvation from the Fire. Each Ashra carries unique blessings and opportunities for repentance and renewal.

6. Why is Laylatul Qadr so important?

Laylatul Qadr—the Night of Power—is the holiest night of the year. Worship performed on it is better than a thousand months. It marks when the Qur’an was revealed and is a time for sincere dua, forgiveness, and transformation.

7. How can families involve children in Ramadan?

Children can learn the spirit of Ramadan through small fasts, charity boxes, crafts, and simple duas. Encouraging kindness, patience, and gratitude helps them connect joyfully to faith from a young age.

8. What are healthy eating habits for Suhoor and Iftar?

Eat light, balanced meals with fruits, whole grains, and plenty of water. Avoid heavy fried foods and sugary drinks. Hydration and moderation ensure strength and focus throughout the fasting day.

9. Why are dates significant in Ramadan?

The Prophet ﷺ broke his fast with dates and water. Dates are rich in nutrients, provide quick energy, and symbolise tradition and gratitude. They remind us to follow the Sunnah with simplicity and sincerity.

10. What is the meaning of Iftar beyond breaking the fast?

Iftar is a moment of gratitude and sharing. It symbolises unity, compassion, and reflection. Feeding others at Iftar brings immense reward, echoing the Prophet’s ﷺ tradition of generosity during Ramadan.

11. How can I maximise rewards in Ramadan?

Increase prayer, Qur’an recitation, charity, and remembrance. Give Zakat early, sponsor Iftars, and support relief projects. Every sincere act—no matter how small—carries multiplied reward during Ramadan.

12. What duas should I recite during Ramadan?

Duas for forgiveness, gratitude, and steadfastness are recommended. The Prophet ﷺ taught: “Allahumma innaka ‘afuwwun tuhibbul ‘afwa fa‘fu ‘anni” – “O Allah, You are Most Forgiving, and You love forgiveness, so forgive me.”

13. How does charity transform lives during Ramadan?

Charity uplifts the poor and revives faith. It feeds the hungry, brings joy to families, and strengthens the ummah. Each act of giving in Ramadan reflects Allah’s mercy and creates ripples of hope across communities.

14. How can I prepare for Ramadan early?

Plan your worship goals, settle debts, and make sincere intentions. Begin fasting voluntarily, increase dhikr, and organise your Zakat. Preparation ensures you enter Ramadan with focus and readiness for spiritual growth.

15. What is the reward for feeding a fasting person?

The Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever feeds a fasting person will have a reward like theirs, without reducing the fasting person’s reward.” Feeding someone at Iftar earns immense barakah and forgiveness from Allah.

End the Month with Sadaqah & Gratitude

As the crescent of Shawwal appears and hearts overflow with gratitude, remember those who will break their fast with only a prayer. Your Zakat, Fitrana and Sadaqah transform lives in Azad Kashmir — bringing food, warmth, and hope to families in need. Don’t let Ramadan end without sharing its blessings.
