Abu Bakr Zoud – How To Earn The Reward Of Fasting The Entire Year

			Brothers and sisters in Islam, there is an
		

			absolutely
		

			incredible
		

			deal that Nabi teaches
		

			us. It requires from you minimum effort and
		

			there is huge reward in return.
		

			Nabi Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam taught us that the
		

			one who fasts Ramadan
		

			and then he follows it up with 6
		

			days of Shawwal,
		

			then Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will give him
		

			the reward
		

			as though he has fasted the entire year.
		

			What a deal, this is from the name
		

			of Allah azza wa jal, and
		

			aren't we believers
		

			Haven't we gotten used to the generosity of
		

			Allah
		

			Allah
		

			extended our lives and allowed us to witness
		

			Ramadan
		

			and then he allowed us to witness the
		

			little Qadr which the worship in it was
		

			better than a 1000 months of worship
		

			and Allah
		

			generosity continues upon us with this beautiful opportunity
		

			that is ahead of us 6 days of
		

			Shawwal
		

			that's all you need to fast any day
		

			of this month fast them
		

			with Ramadan and you earn the reward of
		

			fasting an entire year even though you will
		

			not fast the entire
		

			year imagine 4 months 5 months from now
		

			on a day you're eating and you remember
		

			that
		

			I have received the reward of fasting this
		

			day because I did 6 days of Shawwal
		

			after Ramadan. We ask Allah azza wa Jal
		

			to grant us the ability that we're able
		

			to fast these days. We're in need of
		

			fasting these days because
		

			these days of Shawwal
		

			are like the sunnah after the fard and
		

			it's always a principle that the sunnah after
		

			the fard, what does it do? What's his
		

			primary
		

			role?
		

			It patches up and it cleans up the
		

			shortcomings and the errors that took place in
		

			the Fardb
		

			So these 6 days will wipe away anything
		

			you did wrong
		

			and we also need them as a sign
		

			of acceptance
		

			because in Ulla Raha'i, they said the sign
		

			of an accepted Ramadan
		

			is to follow it up with good deeds.
		

			So if you followed up your Ramadan
		

			with fasting 6 days of Shawwal,
		

			that's a good sign that ramadan was accepted
		

			from you, we ask Allah Subhanahu wa ta'ala
		

			to allow us to fast them, ask Allah
		

			to accept our deeds to forgive our sins
		

			and shortcomings.
