A treasure thats value is multiplied from 36 into 365.

Have you guessed what is it yet?

If not..

Let’s dig deeper together to find out more..

Hadith 1

Abu Ayyub reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, 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 has fasted for the entire year.”

Source: Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 1164

Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to Muslim

عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ صَامَ رَمَضَانَ ثُمَّ أَتْبَعَهُ سِتًّا مِنْ شَوَّالٍ كَانَ كَصِيَامِ الدَّهْرِ

1164 صحيح مسلم كتاب الصيام باب استحباب صوم ستة أيام من شوال إتباعا لرمضان

Hadith 2

Thawban reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Fasting the month of Ramadan is like ten months of fasting and fasting six days of Shawwal is like two months of fasting. Thus, they are like fasting for a year.”

Source: Ṣaḥīḥ Ibn Khuzaymah 2115

Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to Al-Albani

عَنْ ثَوْبَانَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ صِيَامُ رَمَضَانَ بِعَشَرَةِ أَشْهُرٍ وَصِيَامُ السِّتَّةِ أَيَّامٍ بِشَهْرَيْنِ فَذَلِكَ صِيَامُ السَّنَةِ

Reflection Point

Ok, so listen carefully...

If your current job, business, investment or personal venture....

Was to tell you that your salary or income for the month after Ramadhan (Shawwal)..

Was going to double 10x times over and a little bit more..

As a bonus for putting in a few more hours of work..

You would probably end up passing out..

Due to the surprise and joy!

Well..

Let me tell you that it may not be of monetary value..

But it certainly will be in the form of reward!

Yes, the currency of the hereafter!

Fasting 6 days of Shawwal, after completing your Ramadhan fast is equal to the reward of fasting an entire year!

SubhanAllah..

Let’s do the Maths!

Ramadhan = 30 days + Shawwal 6 days = 365 days

SubhanAllah!

Allah truly is Al Lateef!

The Most Kind!

Ok so...

After we've enjoyed our Eid, caught up with friends and family, eaten and enjoyed food during daylight hours again.

We can't squeeze out 6 more days??

Can we??

Ofcourse we can!

Especially, when the reward is multiplied by 10x times and more...

So with this in mind.

We have designed for our Infographikers, an informative and well-designed infographic to help you manage your missed fasts from Ramadhan (if you have any) and complete your additional 6 days of Shawwal.

Insha Allah.
