What is Ashra in Ramadan?
Ramadan is divided into 3 sections of 10 days. Each 10 days is known as Ashra. The third Ashra is the last part of the month of Ramadan. In this Ashra comes the holy and essential date of Laylatul qadr. This date is unknown, but it is said by Allah it comes on either of these dates 21, 23, 25, 27, and 29. The dua for the last 10 days of Ramadan is:
Allahumma Ajirni minan naar
Now that we are in the second ‘Ashra’ of the Holy month and the third and last ‘Ashra’ is in few days. As we all know that it was during this last ten days of Ramadan that the Holy Quran was revealed known as Laylat al Qadr.
