How to make the most out of the first Ashra of Ramadan

Tip 1 – Set clear intentions

Setting clear intentions at the beginning of the first Ashra is like charting a course for a fulfilling spiritual journey.

You should take a moment to reflect on your relationship with Allah (SWT) and identify areas where you seek improvement. Whether it’s strengthening your prayer habits, increasing your acts of charity, or improving your character, you must define your goals and commit sincerely to strive towards overcoming them.

Intentions play a crucial role in the acceptance of our deeds. By setting clear intentions, you align your actions with your spiritual aspirations and seek to please Allah (SWT) in all that you do. Write down your intentions and revisit them regularly throughout the Ashra to stay focused and motivated.


Tip 2 – Recite the Quran regularly

The Quran is a source of immense guidance and blessings. During the first Ashra, dedicate time daily to recite and reflect upon its verses.

Whether after Fajr prayer, during your break at work, or before bed, find moments of tranquillity to connect with the divine words.

As you recite, strive to understand the meanings behind the verses and contemplate their relevance to your life. The Quran offers solutions to life’s challenges, provides comfort in times of hardship, and illuminates the path to righteousness. Let its wisdom penetrate your heart and guide your actions.


Tip 3 – Engage in dhikr and dua

Dhikr, the remembrance of Allah (SWT), is a powerful practice that nourishes the soul and brings peace to the heart. Throughout the day, engage in dhikr by reciting His names, glorifying His attributes, and expressing gratitude for His blessings.

Offer Salawat (blessings) upon the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), seeking his intercession and following his noble example.

Make dua to Allah (SWT) with sincerity and humility, asking for forgiveness, guidance, and blessings for yourself and others. Remember, Allah (SWT) is always near and responsive to the calls of His servants.


Tip 4 – Perform extra prayers

The first Ashra is an excellent opportunity to increase your voluntary or Nafl prayers. These prayers are a means of attaining closeness to Allah (SWT) and earning His pleasure.

Consider waking up at night to perform Tahajjud, a special prayer known for its spiritual rewards. You can also offer additional Rakats of worship throughout the day, such as the Duha prayer in the morning or the Ishraq prayer after sunrise. Remember, every voluntary prayer is a step closer to Allah (SWT).


Tip 6 – Control your tongue and actions.

Ramadan is a time for spiritual purification, including controlling our speech and actions. Make a conscious effort to avoid gossip, backbiting, and hurtful words. Focus on speaking kindly and using your words to uplift and inspire others.

Remember, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “Whoever does not give up forged speech and evil actions, Allah is not in need of his leaving his food and drink.” You must trive to embody the virtues of honesty, compassion, and forgiveness in your interactions with others.


Tip 7 – Seek forgiveness from others

Ramadan is the perfect time to seek their forgiveness if you have wronged anyone. You should reach out to those you have hurt, apologize sincerely, and make amends for your past mistakes.

Holding grudges and harbouring resentment can hinder your spiritual progress. By seeking forgiveness and reconciling with others, you cleanse your heart and create a more harmonious environment for yourself and those around you.


Tip 8 – Increase your acts of kindness

Ramadan is a month of compassion and empathy. Look for opportunities to perform acts of kindness and service to others. Help a neighbour with their groceries, volunteer at a local charity, or offer a kind word to someone in need.

Remember, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “The best of people are those who are most beneficial to people.” Strive to be a source of positivity and support for those around you, and watch your good deeds multiply the blessings in your life.


Tip 8 – Disconnect from distractions

In today’s digital age, getting caught up in the endless stream of distractions is easy. During Ramadan, consciously disconnect from social media, excessive television, and other time-wasting activities.

Instead, focus on connecting with Allah (SWT) through prayer, Quran recitation, and dhikr. Use this time to reflect on your life, set goals for the future, and strengthen your relationship with your Creator.


Tip 9 – Make the most of Laylatul Qadr

The last ten nights of Ramadan hold a special significance, including Laylatul Qadr, the Night of Power. This night is considered more blessed than a thousand months, and it’s an opportunity to earn immense rewards from Allah (SWT).

Increase your acts of worship during these nights, spend time in prayer and supplication, and seek Allah’s (SWT) forgiveness and blessings.

Remember, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “Whoever stands (in prayer) during Laylatul Qadr out of faith and hope for reward, all his previous sins will be forgiven.” Make the most of this blessed night and reap its abundant rewards.


Tip 10 – Give to charity

Ramadan is a time for compassion and generosity. During the first Ashra, open your heart and extend a helping hand to those in need. Donate to charitable causes, support orphans and the less fortunate, and share your blessings with others.

The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) emphasized the importance of charity, especially during Ramadan. He said, “Whoever gives food for a fasting person to break his fast, he will have a reward like theirs, without that detracting from their reward in the slightest.”

Even a small act of charity can make a big difference in someone’s life and earn you immense rewards from Allah (SWT).

 After finishing a meal during Ramadan, many families come together to recite duas as part of their nightly routine, teaching these important supplications to their kids. This sacred month provides an opportunity for both adults and children to grow spiritually while enjoying the blessings of shared meals.

Also, many parents also use online resources to find engaging Islamic content for their kids, helping them understand the significance of fasting, and the importance of giving zakat. Whether it’s teaching about charity or reciting Ramadan duas, the month strengthens bonds and reinforces core values within families.

The first Ashra of Ramadan is a time of immense blessings and opportunities for spiritual growth.

What are the Virtues of Ramadan?

In a narration recorded by Imam Ahmad on the authority of Salman Al Farisi (may Allah be pleased with him) who said:

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) addressed us on the last day of the month of Sha’ban and said, “O men, there has come upon you a great month, a blessed month, in it is ‘Laylatul Qadr’ which is better than a thousand months. Allah has made fasting in it obligatory and the night prayer therein a voluntary act of worship.

Whoever seeks to draw close to Allah therein with a good act, it is as though he has discharged an obligation in other months. Whoever discharges an obligation in it, it is as though he has carried out 70 obligations in other months.

It is a month of patience, and the reward for patience is paradise.

It is a month for accommodating and comforting people.

It is a month in which the sustenance of the believer increases.

Whoever provides for a fasting person so that he may break his fast, he would gain the reward of freeing a slave and attain forgiveness for his sins.” We (the Prophet’s companions) said, “Not all of us have the means to provide for a fasting person to break his fast.”

He (S) said, “Allah would give this reward to whoever who provides a gulp of milk or a drink of water or a date for the fasting person to break his fast, and whoever satiates the hunger of the fasting person, he would receive forgiveness for his sins, and his Lord would give him drink from my Fount (‘Al Hawdh’ on the Day of Judgment), after which he would suffer no thirst ever and he would receive the equivalent of the reward of the fasting person without any decrease in his reward.

It is a month, the beginning of which is mercy, the middle of it is forgiveness and the end of it is freedom from hellfire.

Whoever lightens the workload of his servant in it, Allah will free him from hellfire and so do a lot of 4 things in it. 2 acts with which you would please your Lord and 2 acts that you cannot do without.

As for the 2 acts with which you please your Lord, they are the testimony that there is no god besides Allah and the seeking of His forgiveness. As for the 2 acts that you cannot do without, you should seek paradise from your Lord and seek protection from hellfire.”

اَللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْناَ بِالْإِيْمَانِ كَامِلِيْنْ، وَلِلْفَرَآئِضِ مُؤَدِّيْنَ، وَلِلصَّلَاةِ حَافِظِيْنَ، وَلِلزَّكَاةِ فَاعِلِيْنَ، وَلِمَا عِنْدَكَ طَالِبِيْنَ، وَلِعَفْوِكَ رَاجِيْنَ، وَبِالْهُدَى مُتَمَسِّكِيْن، وَعَنِ اللَّغْوِ مُعْرِضِيْنَ، وَفِي الدُّنْيَا زَاهِدِيْنَ، وَفِي الْأَخِرَةِ رَاغِبِيْنَ، وَبِالْقَضَاءِ رَاضِيْنَ، وَبِالنَّعْمَاءِ شَاكِرِيْنَ، وَعَلَى الْبَلاءِ صَابِرِيْنَ، وَتَحْتَ لِوَاءِ سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ سَائِرِيْنَ، وَإِلَى الْحَوْضِ وَارِدِيْنَ، وَفِي الْجَنَّةِ دَاخِلِيْنَ، وَمِنَ النَّارِ نَاجِيْنَ، وَعَلَى سَرِيْرَةِ الْكَرَامَةِ قَاعِدِيْنَ، وَبِحُوْرِ عيْنٍ مُتَزَوِّجِيْنَ، وَمِنْ سُنْدُسٍ وَاِسْتَبْرَقٍ وَدِيْبَاجٍ مُتَلَبِّسِيْنَ، وَمِنْ طَعَامِ الْجَنَّةِ آكِلِيْنَ، وَمِنْ لَبَنٍ وَعَسَلٍ مُصَفًّى شَارِبِيْنَ، بِأَكْوَابٍ وَأَبَارِيْقَ وَكَأْسٍ مِنْ مَعِيْنٍ، مَعَ الَّذِيْنَ أَنعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنَ النَّبِيِّين والصِّدِّيقِينَ والشُّهَدَاءِ والصَّالِحِين، وحَسُنَ أُولَئِكَ رَفِيقًا، ذَلِكَ الْفَضْلُ مِنَ اللهِ وَكَفَى بِاللهِ عَلِيْمًا، وَالحَمدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ العَالَمِينَ

Bismillahir-Rahmanir-Raheem. Alhamdulillahi Rabbil ‘alameen, was-salatu was-salamu ‘ala ashrafil-anbiya-i wal-mursaleen, sayyidina wa mawlana Muhammadin wa ‘ala alihi wa sahbihi ajma’een.

In the name of Allah the Most Gracious and Most Merciful. Praise be to the Lord of all the Worlds, prayers and salutations be upon the noblest of all the prophets, our leader (sayyiduna) Muhammad, and upon his entire family and companions.

O Allah make us from those who have complete faith, perform all obligations, guard their prayers, give zakat, seek that which is due from You, hope for Your forgiveness, hold on firmly to guidance, turn away from futile acts, show no interest for worldly pleasures, desire the life of the hereafter, are pleased with the divine decree, are thankful for Your blessings, are patient during trials, would walk under the flag of our leader (sayyidina) Muhammad s.a.w. on the Day of Judgement, would arrive to the Prophet’s well (in the hereafter), would enter the Paradise, would be saved from the hellfire, would sit on the honoured mattresses (of paradise), would be married to the companions of Paradise, would be adorned with garments (of paradise) from Silk and Brocade, would eat from the food of Paradise, would drink from the milk and pure honey in the cups and goblets from the fountain of clear-water, in the company of those You bestow blessings upon them from amongst the Prophets, the righteous, the martyrs and the pious and what a great company do they make, and it is sufficient that Allah is All-Knowing, and praise be to Allah the Lord of all Worlds.

Supplication after Witr Prayers in Ramadan

 

After ending the Witr prayer, the Prophet s.a.w. would recite three times:

سُبْحَانَ الْمَلِكِ الْقُدُّوسِ

“Glory be to the Sovereign, the Most Holy”

(Sunan An-Nasa’i)

Afterwards, we may also pray the following dua which is usually read in mosques after praying together in congregation. Ponder upon the meaning of this long and beautiful dua:

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيْم. الحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ العَالَمِيْن، وَالصَّلاَةُ وَالسَّلاَمُ عَلَى أَشْرَفِ الأَنْبِيَاءِ وَالمُرْسَلِيْن سَيِّدِنَا وَمَوْلاَنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وعَلَى آلِهِ وَصَحبِهِ أَجمَعِين. إِلَهَنَا قَد تَعَرَّضَ لَكَ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيلَةِ المُتَعَرِّضُون، وَقَصَدَكَ القَاصِدُون، وَرَغِبَ في جُودِكَ وَمَعرُوفِكَ الطَّالِبُون، وَلَكَ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيلَةِ وَكُلِّ لَيلَةٍ مِن لَيَالِي شَهرِ رَمَضَان نَفَحَاتٍ وَجَوَائِزَ وَمَوَاهِبَ وَعَطَايَا تَجُودُ بِهَا عَلَى مَنْ تَشَاءُ مِنْ عِبَادِك، فَاجْعَلْنَا اللَّهُمَّ مِمَّنْ سَبَقَتْ لَهُ مِنْكَ العِنَايَة، هَا نَحْنُ نَدْعُوكَ كَمَا أَمَرْتَنَا، فَاستَجِبْ مِنَّا كَمَا وَعَدْتَنَا، إِنَّكَ لاَ تُخْلِفُ المِيْعَاد، يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِين. اللَّهُمَّ يَا فَارِقَ الفُرقَانِ وَمُنزِلَ القُرآنِ بِالحِكمَةِ وَالبَيَان

3x بَارِكِ اللَّهُمَّ لَنَا فِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَان 

وَأَعِدْهُ اللَّهُمَّ عَلَينَا سِنِيناً بَعْدَ سِنِين وَأَعوَامًا بَعدَ أَعوَامٍ عَلَى مَا تُحِبُّهُ وتَرْضَاهُ يَا أَرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِين. اللَّهُمّ إِنَّ لَكَ فِي هَذِهِ اللَّيلَةِ وَكُلُّ لَيلَةٍ مِن لَيَالِي شَهْرِ رَمَضَان عُتَقَاءَ مِنَ النَّار، فَاجْعَلْنَا اللَّهُمَّ مِنْ عُتَقَائِكَ مِنَ النَّار 

3x اللَّهُمَّ أَجِرْنَا مِنَ النَّارِ سَالِمِين 

وَأَدْخِلْنَا الجَنَّةَ آمِنِين، وَأَلحِقنَا باِلصَّالِحِين، ومَتِّعنَا بِالنَّظَرِ إِلَى وَجهِكَ الكَرِيم، يَا رَبَّ العَالَمِين

3x اللَّهُمَّ إِنَّكَ عَفُوٌّ تُحِبُّ الْعَفْوَ فَاعْفُ عَنِّا

اللَّهُمَّ تَقَبَّلْ مِنَّا صَلاتَنَا وَصِيَامَنَا وَقِيَامَنَا وَرُكُوعَنَا وَسُجُودَنَا وَتَخَشُّعَنَا وَتَضَرُّعَنَا وَتَعَبُّدَنَا وَتَمِّم تَقْصِيْرَنَا يَا الله يَا أَرحَمَ الرَّاحِمِين. وَصَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَى سَيِّدِنَا مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى الِهِ وَصَحبِهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَالحَمدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ العَالَمِينَ
