Introduction – Ramadan is also called as Ramzan and is considered as one of the most sacred months for Muslims across the world. Holy Quran is the holy book for Muslims as the source of direction or guidance for humanity worldwide that was also revealed in the holy month of Ramadan. Ramzan is the month of sacrifice, devotion, and fasting that is divided into three Ashras such as Mercy (Rehmat), Forgiveness (Maghfirah,) and Nijat (free from hellfire).

Three Ashras of Ramadan – There are three Ashras of Ramadan are given below –

1. Mercy (Rehmat) – it is the first Ashra of Ramadan which occurs between the 1^st and 10^th of Ramadan. In this Ashra, every Muslim must seek the mercy (Rehmat) of Almighty Allah in these days. The first Ashra reflects the Mercy of Allah thus it is called as Rahmat and is an important Ashra in the holy month of Ramadan.
2. Forgiveness (Maghfirah) – It is the second Ashra of Ramadan which occurs between the 11^th and 20^th of Ramadan. In this Ashra, Muslims must seek forgiveness for all his/her sins from Almighty Allah. According to Islamic Belief, Almighty Allah opens the door of forgiveness for devotees in the second ashra of Ramadan. Thus, individuals confess their sins and seek forgiveness from Almighty Allah by ensuring that they will not repeat them in their future lives.
3. Nijat (free from hellfire) – It is the third or last Ashra of Ramadan which occurs between the 21^st and 30^th of Ramadan. The last or final Ashra is very important and each Muslim must pray for the safety of hellfire. In the last or final Ashra of Ramadan, Lailatul Qadar also falls which is better than the nights of thousand months in the holy month of Ramadan. Juma Alvida, the last Friday of Ramadan also celebrates in the third Ashra of Ramadan.
