The 2nd Ashra of Ramadan, spanning from the 11th to the 20th, is known as the Ashra of Forgiveness (Maghfirah) and is a time for seeking Allah’s mercy and pardon. It is a beautiful reminder that no matter how many mistakes we have made, Allah’s forgiveness is always greater when we turn to Him with sincerity. During these ten days, Muslims are encouraged to recite Astaghfirullah (I seek forgiveness from Allah) frequently, offering heartfelt prayers of repentance and striving to purify their hearts. This period is not only about personal reflection but also about extending forgiveness to others, letting go of grudges, and spreading kindness. Charity and generosity hold immense value in this Ashra, as helping those in need brings immense rewards and strengthens our bond with the community. It is a chance to cleanse the soul, correct past wrongs, and build a stronger connection with Allah through increased worship, Quran recitation, and night prayers. As we move forward in Ramadan, the second Ashra prepares us for the final ten days, reminding us to seek forgiveness while we still have the chance, because Allah’s mercy is vast, and He loves those who sincerely repent.
The second Ashra (11th-20th Ramadan) is known as the Ashra of Forgiveness (Maghfirah). During this time, Muslims seek forgiveness from Allah and strive to cleanse their hearts from past sins.
