So the progress on the Lord if someone said that whoever first
the month of Ramadan and follows up with the six days of shower,
then it is as though he's fasted for the entire year.
The way that can work out and can be understood is that 30 days
times 10 is 306 times 10 is 60. So you get about 360 days of worth of
reward. So it's like you've done the year of fasting. Now, to deal
with the fifth key issue first.
If a woman has Miss fasts during the month of Ramadan, mostly they
will miss 56789 10 fast. So do they have to do that first before
they can do the six faster show? Well, they don't have to
write they can do the success of shorewall first if they want to,
though, it's a sunnah and the other one is afforded. You are
allowed, for example, to give charity, even though you got a
debt, or to do ombre, even though your hedges necessary on you, you
will be sinful for delaying your Hajj, but your Amara will still be
counted. So in the Hanafi school, it's allowed to do a Nephal before
a forehand, so yes, you can do that. So you can certainly do
that. One of the benefits that I've seen in the six first of
Chawan
is that
in Ramadan, shaytaan is not around.
So we're quite, you know, and we've gained some control by the
end of 30 days on our knifes. Now shaytaan comes out, and this is
the time to be really careful. Because Sean's been locked up for
30 days. He wants to come out and spoil everything we've done. This
whole report, we've written all essay that we've written, He wants
to delete it, and we don't have any backup. Right? So you've just
lost 30 days of work. That's what he wants us to do. And it happens
to many people. There are people who said on the I was fine for the
whole month of Ramadan I did very well i abstained from all the
Haram that I used to do. Then on the day of Eid, I was fine.
Halfway then in the night, I was alone in my room, or I was with
some friend depending on what the problem is. And I just moment of
weakness. I relapsed into the Haram that I was doing. And I
imagined how demoralizing that is. That's exactly what she thought
wants to do is come back, he's going to try his best. He's going
to try his best to delete everything. So what I found is
that if you can protect yourself for the day over eat, and then you
start fasting for the six days because I used to always wonder
Allah has made us fast for 30 days. Now. They're saying do
another six days, what does that mean? Why can't you delay like in
the middle of the year sometime keep six months in the middle of
the year. Now, right six afterwards. The benefit that I see
in it is that shaitan is back out now. But if we start fasting
immediately, often they overeat because they over eat is haram too
fast. But after that if we start fasting, and we still feel like
we're in Ramadan, so although the shaytan is attacking, we still
have some kind of level of, of protection. And if generally, if
you protect your DSL for about three days after Ramadan, then
inshallah you should be able to maintain what you've done. And
that's why I forgot to mention earlier, one brother three years
ago, or two years ago, two or three years ago, he said to me
that in that particular Ramadan, he tried more than in any other
Ramadan he'd really cried and made lots of dua, and he was really
particular that was he'd never done more a bother than that in
that Ramadan. And he said that the benefit of it I felt for seven
months. Only after seven months were all over that I started
feeling like doing the urges of haram that I had until now I could
just not do it. It was so easy. But then I started feeling the
weakness and weakness until I eventually got back into it. Seven
months is an arbitrary amount. It's just something that he felt
it could be five months it could be nine months. It just depends on
the level, right of how much effort you put in Ramadan. That is
how much it will benefit you for the rest of the year.
