Ramadan is a blessed month for Muslims all over the world. It is a time of spiritual reflection, increased devotion, and worship. The month is divided into three parts, and each part has its significance. The first ten days of Ramadan are especially important as they are known as the “Days of Mercy.”
During these ten days, Muslims are encouraged to increase their worship, seek forgiveness, and perform good deeds. One way to make the most of these days is to recite specific duas (supplications) that have been recommended by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him).
