Assalaamu-alaikum dear brothers and sisters,
The Prophet (peace be upon him) reminded us that Ramadan has three parts: the first 10 days are mercy (rahmah) from Allah, Most High, the middle 10 days are forgiveness (maghfirah) from Allah, Most High, and the last 10 days are emancipation from the Hellfire.
