The third Ashra of Ramadan
The last ten days of Ramadan, known as the third Ashra, are especially fortunate and exceptional. It covers the final ten days, which are renowned for their pursuit of Laylat al-Qadr, also known as the Night of Decree—a night superior to a thousand months. Muslims believe that God's forgiveness, mercy, and protection from hellfire are abundant during this time. The qualities of the third Ashra are as follows:
1. Laylat al-Qadr (The Night of Decree): The Quran was revealed on this night, which is regarded as one of the most important in the Islamic calendar. It is reported to occur during one of the odd-numbered nights in the last ten days of Ramadan. Worship on this night is more valuable than a thousand months of worship.
2. Greater Forgiveness and Mercy: The third Ashra is a moment to ask for God's protection, forgiveness, and mercy. It is said that Allah's mercy is boundless and that this time is an opportunity to seek intimacy with Allah and repent genuinely.
3. Spiritual Renewal: Muslims step up their prayers, Quran readings, and requests for forgiveness during this period. People might improve their faith and rejuvenate spiritually at this time.
4. Possibility of Protection from Hellfire: Ramadan, especially the final 10 days, is thought to present a chance to be shielded from Hellfire. In the hopes of being saved, Muslims try to boost their good deeds at this period.
