Now! Do you want to gain the credit of a Whole year fasting, in just 6 days?!!! <http://www.onflex.org/count/6.png> Surprised?!!! Well don't be!! The way is very simple.... Abû Ayyûb al-Ansârî relates that Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) says: "Whoever fasts the month of Ramadan and then follows it with six days of fasting in the month of Shawwâl, it will be as if he had fasted the year through." [Sahîh Muslim (1163)] It is related from Thawbân that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "The fast of Ramadan is like observing ten months of fasting. Fasting six days of Shawwâl is like observing two months of fasting. This together is like fasting throughout the year." [Sahîh Ibn Khuzaymah (2115) and Sunan al-Nasâ'î al-Kubrâ (2860) – and authenticated by al-Albânî] Question: When is the month of Shawwal ?? <http://webs.wichita.edu/depttools/depttoolsmemberfiles/accomp/question_mark%20%28WinCE%29.jpg> Answer: Shawwal (شوّال) is the tenth month on the Lunar Islamic calendar <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_calendar> ;the month after Ramadan. i.e we are now in the month of Shawwal! <http://youthemerged.com/images/ramadan2007.jpg> Qusestion: Do I have to fast the six days one after the other? <http://school.discoveryeducation.com/clipart/images/question.gif> Answer: It is not a must to fast the 6 days in a Consecutive Manner i.e one after the other. You can fast any 6days in the month of Shawal Insha Allah. <http://mail.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/tsmileys2/40.gif> Wishing you all Success in fasting those Mubarak days & in gaining the fasting of a whole year in your good deeds account Insha Allah <http://mail.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/tsmileys2/40.gif> How about reminding others & gaining not just one year of fasting in your good deeds account, but many years Insha Allah!! Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) said: "The one who guides to good will be rewarded equally". . With Kind Regards Mohammad Usman Jeddah-SAUDI ARABIA * "O Prophet (pbuh) preach to them (the Truth), for preaching proves beneficial for the Believers" <Adh-Dhariyat: 55> ** "O Messenger {Muhammad (pbuh)}! Proclaim (the Message) which has been sent down to you from your Lord." <Al-Maidah: 67> *** Accept the True faith, do righteous deeds, recommend the Truth and patience to one another. <As recommended in Al-Asr: 03> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Nor can Goodness and Evil be equal. Repel (evil) with what is better; then the enmity between him and you will become as if it were your friend and intimate!
