Fasting 6 days of Shawwal : Reward of a year of fasting - Ends Sat 20th May 2023

Fasting 6 days of Shawwal : The Reward of an entire year of fasting - Ends Sat 20th May 2023/1444

The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: "Whoever fasts the month of Ramadan and then follows it with six days of fasting in the month of Shawwal, it will be as if he had fasted a whole year." [Sahîh Muslim (1163)]

Another authentic Hadith regarding the immense reward for fasting the 6 days of Shawwal states:

Abu Ayyub (Ra) reported that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: “Whoever fasts Ramadan and follows it with six days of Shawwal , it will be as if he fasted for a lifetime.” (Narrated by Muslim, Abu Dawud, al-Tirmidhi, al-Nasai and Ibn Majah).

Subhaanallah! How generous is Allah who loves to give to his slaves!

We cannot afford to miss out on such huge & easy rewards

We may not get such an easy opportunity again to build up our bank of good deeds so we should not delay in doing good deeds lest we are taken by Death and our good deed accounts are closed forever. So the opportunity to do good is from now as we may not have a tomorrow. Surely in the Hereafter we will regret missing out on these opportunities to please Allah.
