The Last Ten Days Of Ramadan Or Last Ashra Of Ramdan

Ramadan is a great month. In this month, Allah Almighty revealed a book to our beloved Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him). The name of this book is the Holy Quran. This is the last book for the last Messenger of Allah. Allah divides the holy month into three stages or Ashras.

But last Ashra is so important for us because there is one night in which our holy Quran revealed.

 The name of three ashras or stages are respectively:

1-Mercy of Allah

2- Forgiveness of Allah

3- Safety from Hell

As Messenger of Allah (Peace Be Upon Him) stated:

It is the month, whose beginning is mercy, its middle, forgiveness and its end, freedom from the fire (Hell).

Most of Muslims perform their Umrah in Ramadan because this is a great month of rewards. There is a great crowd of pilgrims in the city of Makkah. Some people want to perform it but they are not able in terms of finance.

They should not worry because many travel agencies will arrange Cheap Umrah Packages as if they are going from the United Kingdom then they can get the Best Cheap Ramadan Umrah Packages 2025 UK.

There is no doubt, that all days and nights of this month are full of blessing, mercy, and forgiveness, it is the best chance for all Muslims to get more and more rewards because Allah says, it is my month.

But we will only focus here on what the people do in the last stage or the Ashra of Ramadan.

Allah says that this night which name is Laitul Qadar or the Night of Power of Ramadan,

Allah Almighty says in the Holy Quran: 

The Night of Decree is better than a 1000 months. The angels and Spirit descend therein by permission of their Lord (Allah) for every matter. Peace it is until the emergence (exposure) of dawn.     

Holy Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) used to exert himself in devotion during the last 10 nights to a greater extent than at any other time.

                                                           

                                                          (Muslims)

Hazrat Ayesha (RA) who was a beloved wife of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) reported:

With the start of the last 10 days of Ramadan, the Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) used to tighten his waist belt and used to pray the whole night, and used to keep his family awake for the prayers.

                                                           (Bukhari)

                      Duas for last ashra or stage of Ramadan:

Everyone wants to get this holy night of Ramadan because the rewards of this night are greater than other nights of the year. There is the best way which is recommended to our prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) that is called Itikaf.

Itikaf:

in this prayer, Muslim passed his/her last ten days of Ramadan in the worship of Allah without taking part in any social activity such as going to markets to buy something and etc., during the Itikaf he/she easily gets the special rewards of the Night of Power or Lailtul Qadar.

Male passes these days in the mosque because it is better for him. Female may pass these days in her home because it is better for her but she does not leave her home for any reason during the Itikaf.

A hadith which is narrated from Hazrat Ayesha (RA) that Hazrat Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him): 

Used to perform Itikaf in the last 10 days of Ramadan until Allah SWT, took him.

                                    {Bukari and Muslim}

Hazrat Abu (RA) reported that Hazrat Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) said:

Whoever makes Itikaf with me should stay in Itikaf for the last 10 days.

                                    {Bukari}

Hazrat Abdullah bin Abbas (RA) reported that Hazrat Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) said:

Whoever for Allah’s sake did even 1-day itikaf, Allah would keep him away from trenches of Hell.

Special prayers (nafl) are arranged to pass these nights of last ashra or stage of Ramadan in every mosque. Those Muslims who do not perform the Itikaf, they can get this great night (Night of Power or Lailtul Qadar) during special nafls prayers in mosques.

Muslims passed these last days of Ramadan by reciting the Holy Quran and offering extra nafls. They give charity to the poor in the last days of this month, which name is Zakat al-Fitr. It is compulsory to pay the poor people, so that, they also will enjoy the day of Eid-ul-Fitr which comes after the end of Ramadan.

We should pass these days completely in the prayers as it could be possible because it is better for us as we will leave this world one day and that day is not far for us. We should try to perform the Umrah at least one time in life because we can get more rewards from our Lord (Allah) so that we can save us from the fire of Hell.

We should not worry about this journey because many companies provide the best Umrah Package with flights these days so that you can perform Umrah easily.
