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 a spiritual time for Muslim devotees with fasting being obligatory for every healthy person from dawn till dusk. This is also the time to practise abstinence from extreme emotions such as anger and immoral acts. Other acts of worship, like contributing to charity and reading the Quran, are also encouraged.
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, along with their English translations.
