The final ten days of Ramadan are the most blessed nights of the year. Reciting the Dua When 3rd Ashra of Ramadan begins is a sunnah that helps believers focus on seeking Najat (salvation) from the Hellfire. As we enter these pinnacle moments, understanding the weight of our supplications is vital.
The primary supplication for the last 10 days (Salvation) is:
اَللَّهُمَّ أَجِرْنِي مِنَ النَّارِ"O Allah, protect me from the Fire."
The 3rd Ashra is known as Itqum-min-an-Naar. During this time, the gates of mercy are wide open, and the Prophet (PBUH) used to exert himself in worship more than any other time. By consistently reciting the Dua When 3rd Ashra of Ramadan, you are actively seeking the ultimate prize: eternal safety from the fire.
According to authentic narrations found in Sunan an-Nasa'i, seeking refuge from the fire is a fundamental practice of the Prophet (PBUH) during the final nights of Ramadan.
To ensure your prayers are answered during the last 10 days, consider these three steps:
Beyond the specific Dua When 3rd Ashra of Ramadan, it is highly recommended to also recite the Dua taught to Aisha (RA): "O Allah, You are Forgiving and love forgiveness, so forgive me." This complements your quest for salvation perfectly.
As the month comes to a close, your focus on the Dua When 3rd Ashra of Ramadan will serve as a spiritual shield. Use these last few days to pour your heart out to the Creator, seeking that promised salvation.
