Fasting 6 Days of Shawwal like Fasting a Lifetime!

[Hamza Asadullah]

Fasting Ramadan + 6 days of Shawwal is like fasting for a lifetime:


Abu Ayyoob (Ra) reported that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said:

“Whoever fasts Ramadaan and follows it with six days of Shawwaal, it will be as if he fasted for a lifetime.” (Narrated by Muslim, Abu Dawood, al-Tirmidhi, al-Nisaa’i and Ibn Maajah).


Subhanallah how generous is Allah who gives without measure.

We have until the 17th of Sepember to keep these 6 fasts so let us grab these immense rewards otherwise there will only be utter regret in the Hereafter where we will be in need of every good deed we can get. So now is the time to stock up!

May Allah enable us to do everything to please him. Ameen

 

[Hamza Asadullah]

There are still 7 days left until the month of Shawwal is over so there is still time to keep the 6 fasts in order to gain rewards like fasting a whole year and according to another hadith a whole lifetime!

How can we afford to miss out these immense rewards when on the day of judgement we will beg for just one good deed but no one will give us any. Therefore let us do as much good as we can until we are taken by Death which can be at any second!
