First Ashura Dua of Ramadan

The First Ashra of Ramadan: A Period of Mercy (رحمت) 🌙✨

Ramadan is divided into three Ashras (10-day segments), each carrying a special significance. The first Ashra (1st to 10th Ramadan) is known as the Ashra of Mercy (رحمت), a time when Allah’s blessings and mercy descend upon His believers.

📜 Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
“The first part of Ramadan is mercy, the middle part is forgiveness, and the last part is freedom from the Hellfire.” (Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah)

🌟 Importance of the First Ashra (Rahmat – Mercy)

The first ten days of Ramadan are a golden opportunity to seek Allah’s mercy, as His kindness and blessings are abundant during this period.

🔹 Allah’s doors of mercy are wide open for those who seek His help.
🔹 Every good deed earns multiple rewards.
🔹 Fasting in this Ashra purifies the soul and strengthens faith.

📖 Dua for the First Ashra:
يَا رَحْمٰنُ ارْحَمْنِي
“O Most Merciful, have mercy on me.”
