Ramadan Second Ashra Dua | Second Ashra Dua

During Holy Ramadan, Muslims observe fasting during the day, engage in worship at night, and strive to strengthen their relationship with Allah (SWT). This month, the ninth in the Islamic Calendar, is considered a blessed time for Muslims. According to a narration by Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stated that with the arrival of Ramadan, the gates of Paradise are opened, the gates of Hellfire are closed, and the devils are restrained (Al-Bukhari and Muslim). Ramadan spans either 29 or 30 days and is divided into three parts known as three Ashras.

What is the Second Ashra of Ramadan?

During the second Ashra of Ramadan, spanning from the 10th to the 20th day, Muslims are encouraged to actively seek forgiveness from Allah (SWT) for their sins, regardless of their magnitude. This can be achieved through the practice of Istighfar, which involves repeatedly uttering ‘Astaghfirullah’ to seek Allah’s (SWT) forgiveness. This phrase translates to ‘I seek forgiveness from Allah.’

Ramadan first Ashra Dua is also about actively seek mercy and forgiveness from Allah Almighty, recognizing Him as the ultimate source of mercy.

Here is a recitation of Ramadan Second Ashra Dua by Saad Al Qureshi.
