A Dua a Day - Ramadan Calendar

‘A dua a day‘ Ramadan Calendar:

Following is the list of authentic Quranic and Masnoon duas that I compiled for myself based on the *A DUA A DAY* Ramadan calendar by Eid Party because I want to focus on DUAS to really benefit from the barakah of this month. I pray that these free DUA CARDS help you too. I have deliberately put the Arabic and English (translation) side by side so you can understand and pick a bit of Arabic language’s beauty along the way in shaa Allah. You can download the cards for free (in colour or black/white – both options are available). All the reference links are embedded in the Arabic text. Please come back to this article every day to read the whole hadith or verse, when you are memorizing the dua of the day (or just reciting it throughout the day). If you benefit from this freebie bundle, please make dua for us (AYEINA and Eid Party – who helped us bring this post to life):

The Holy Month of Ramadan in Dubai will be starting soon with the sighting of the crescent moon and will last for the next 29 to 30 days. It’s an extremely spiritual time for Muslim devotees with fasting being obligatory for every healthy Muslim during Ramadan from dawn till dusk. This is also the time for Muslims to practise abstinence from extreme emotions such as anger and not committing any immoral acts. Other acts of worship, like contributing to charity and reading the Quran, are also encouraged during the holy month.

Ramadan is divided into three Ashras (stages), each lasting ten days. In this post, we will cover the Ramadan duas (prayers) for each Ashra. This will include other common prayers for the holy month with their English transliterations and translations.

The third and last Ashra ends on the 29th or 30th of Ramadan and holds special significance for Muslims since it represents protection from the hellfire.
