Is the division of Ramadan into three parts – its beginning mercy, its middle forgiveness, and its end liberation from the Fire – correct? Are there specific supplications for each part? What are the supplications that should be recited frequently in Ramadan? And is "O Allah, indeed You are Pardoning, You love pardon, so pardon me" exclusive to the last ten days?

The hadith stating that the first part of Ramadan is mercy, its middle part is forgiveness, and its last part is liberation from Hellfire is weak. The correct view is that Ramadan as a whole is mercy, forgiveness, and liberation from Hellfire. Specifying a particular supplication for each third of Ramadan is an innovation (bid'ah) that has no basis. It is recommended to increase supplication during Ramadan, especially prayers for goodness, mercy, forgiveness, and liberation from Hellfire, as well as supplications mentioned in the Quran and Sunnah, while observing the manners of supplication. It is recommended to supplicate at the time of breaking the fast and during the last third of the night. During the last ten nights, it is highly recommended to frequently recite, "Allahumma innaka 'afuwwun tuhibbul 'afwa fa'fu 'anni" (O Allah, You are forgiving and love forgiveness, so forgive me).
