Let's fast 6 days during Shawal!

Month of Shawal

Abu Ayub Ansari R. (r.a.) reported Rasullah (S.A) said: “Whoever fasts in the month of Ramadhan, and then fasts for six days in the month of Shawal, is akin to fasting the whole year.” (Recorded by Muslim)

This Hadith clarifies that one of the advantages of Shawal is the opportunity for those seeking the pleasure and blessing from Allah Almighty throughout their lives to perform the six day fast.

The reward given by Allah Almighty to those who fast for six days in Shawal is akin to that given to people who fast indefinitely. Such valuable reward is given by Allah Almighty to the people. This is fair reward considering the sincerity of Muslims who perform this act of worship, in view of the increase in temptations surrounding the festive days following the Eidul Fitr celebrations, which really tests a person’s faith.
