đż ANSWERđż That is not the correct understanding regarding this blessed, BLESSED month. Allaah Subhaanahu wa Taâaalaâs Bounty is immense, immeasurable and limitless. The WHOLE, ENTIRE month of Ramadhaan is FULL of Mercy and Forgiveness and His Favors. And He Subhaan Allaah ransoms whoever He wants from the Fire EVERY SINGLE DAY of this beautiful month; not just in the last ten days... And as for making specific duaas during this time, we CAN NOT limit a certain time or place or number or manner to a certain act of ibaadah UNLESS thereâs PROOF of that from the Qurâaan or authentic Sunnah. đșâBut isnât there a hadeeth about the month of Ramadhaan divided into three partsâ The hadeeth about the month of Ramadhaan divided into three âpartsâ or âasharahâ is WEAK. đșâSo whatâs a âweakâ hadeethâ A weak hadeeth, simply put, means that itâs highly DOUBTFUL that the Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam EVER SAID THAT or DID THAT or EVER APPROVED of that. So if itâs something doubtful, why do it? Didnât the Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam himself tell us: âLeave that which makes you doubt for that which does not make you doubt, for truth leads to reassurance and lies lead to uncertainty.â (at-Tirmidhi - saheeh by al-Albaani). The ONLY hadeeth that is AUTHENTICALLY narrated about a SPECIFIC duaa In Ramadhaan is what the Prophet sal Allaahu Alayhi wa sallam taught Aaishah radhi Allaahu anhaa. Our Mother Aaâishah radhi Allaahu anhaa said: âI said, âO Messenger of Allaah, if I know which night is Laylat al-Qadr, what should I say on that night?â He said: Say: "ۧÙÙÙÙ Ű„ÙÙ ŰčÙÙ ŰȘŰŰš ۧÙŰčÙÙ ÙۧŰčÙ ŰčÙÙâ âAllaahumma innaka âafuwwun tuhibb al-âafwa faâaffu âanni â "O Allaah, You are forgiving and You love forgiveness, so forgive me.â (at-Tirmidhi - saheeh by al-Albaani) So go ahead and make all the Duaas you want in this month, THROUGHOUT this blessed month, without limiting or restricting it to certain parts or âasharahâ. Remember, with Allaah lie the TREASURES of the Heavens and Earth. His Bounties are PLENTY... His Mercy...LIMITLESS... His Forgiveness... UNSURMOUNTABLE... And Allaah knows best.
