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.
