The many virtues of fasting the six days of <\/strong>Shawwal<\/strong><\/h1>\nThe month of Shawwal is here and you really don\u2019t want to miss out on fasting six days this month.\n\nHere\u2019s why.\n

You will be rewarded for an entire year of fasting.<\/strong><\/h2>\nThe Prophet Muhammad \ufdfa said:\n
\u201cFasting Ramadan and following it with six days from Shawwal<\/em> is like continual fasting\u201d.\n\n(Sahih Muslim)<\/em><\/blockquote>\nThe wisdom behind this reward is due to the basis of good deeds being rewarded ten-fold by Allah. So if someone were to fast the 30 days of Ramadan along with the 6 days of Shawwal, he would be rewarded for 360 days of fasting (i.e. approximately one year).\n

It is a sign of an accepted Ramadan<\/strong><\/h2>\nMany scholars have stated that being able to continue a good deed is a sign of its acceptance from Allah. Therefore, continuing to fast after Ramadan is a sign that your fasting was accepted.\n

Consistent deeds are beloved deeds<\/strong><\/h2>\nThese six fasts are also an example of consistent deeds. The most beloved deeds to Allah and His Messenger Muhammad \ufdfa are those that are consistent, even if they are small.[1]<\/a>\n

Allah loves those who rush in good<\/strong><\/h2>\nIn the Quran, Allah speaks highly of those who rush to perform good actions.\n
\u201cAnd hasten towards good deeds\u201d.<\/em>\n\n(Quran 2:148)<\/em><\/blockquote>\nProphet Musa also states in Surah Taha<\/em>:\n
\u201cAnd I hastened to you my Lord, so that you may be pleased\u201d.<\/em>\n<\/em>\n\n(Quran 20:84)<\/em><\/blockquote>\nAlthough scholars have differed over whether or not the six days of fasting should be carried out in succession directly after Eid, all have cautioned Muslims to avoid delaying the fasts to the extent that they may miss out on completing the six days.\n\nIf you cannot fast the days and you are excused, we pray Allah gives you the full reward as per your intention.\n\nAs the Prophet Muhammad \ufdfa taught us:\n
\u201cActions are but by intentions, and every person will have what he\/she intended\u201d.\n\n(Bukhari and Muslim)<\/em>.<\/blockquote>\n[1]<\/a> Bukhari and Muslim","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
