			Bismillah Alhamdulillah wa salatu salam ala rasulillah. While early he also be as my my brothers and
sisters in Islam, we are still in the month of showare. And the best voluntary deed to do in this
month is the first six days of it. And Lola are hammer home Allah. They mentioned a couple of
reasons for why it's important that one fasts, the six days of show word. Number one, that the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he said, Whoever fasts Ramadan, and follows it up with six days
of chawan he earns the reward as though he has fast that the entire he spent a lot when Nabi
sallallahu alayhi wa sallam explained how this is possible. Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he said
		
00:00:47 --> 00:01:32
			as in the hadith of thermal the Allahu anhu that fasting Ramadan is equivalent to 10 months of
fasting. Because the one day the one good deed is multiplied in tenfold. And fasting six days of a
word is equivalent to two months, so 10 months in two months, with equal to an entire year. So
Panama la hakavod look at the generosity of Allah Subhana Medan He's given us the possibility that
we earn the reward of fasting every single day of our life until the day we die, just by fasting
normal BOD. And six months of showare even the days later on throughout the year in which you break
your fast and eat breakfast and lunch in them. You will earn the reward of fasting that day even
		
00:01:32 --> 00:02:15
			though you did not fast it Subhan Allah so that's why we should be fasting the six days of chawan
The second reason is learn about him Allah they said that the six days of chawan are like the sooner
prayer after the obligatory prayer. You know how there are prayers that have shown the price before
and after them. Well, Rama bond has the sooner before and after. The sooner before is the month of
Chabad in which it is a sooner to fast as many days as you can have that month. And then the sooner
after is the six days of chawan. And these soon and before and after the obligation. So what's their
main purpose? Their main purpose is to rectify the shortcomings that took place in the obligation
		
00:02:15 --> 00:02:59
			itself. It's to complete the obligation and to perfect the obligation. You know that when we perform
our obligatory deeds, we acknowledge and we are certain that they aren't 100% standard according to
what Alonzo Hill deserves. We acknowledge that there's a lot of shortcomings and that they are
imperfect, so we need to perfect them. We need to complete them. The way we do that is with the
sunon that come before and after. So it's as though it's necessary for a person to fast the six days
of chawan so that he perfects the month of Ramadan. And in the Hadith, Nabi sallallahu alayhi wa
sallam mentions that when Allah subhanho wa Taala, judges the sleeves, and he holds them accountable
		
00:02:59 --> 00:03:44
			for their obligations. And they are imperfect, and they are short, they are incomplete. Allah
subhanho wa Taala would say to the angels on vooral, and lab demon cm it or he would say to the
angels and Allah knows more than the angels who are allemaal Kadir, he says to them, look into the
record of my servant, does he have any voluntary fasting, if he does, they are brought forth, and
they added on to his obligatory fasting, and then the obligatory fasting is complete, it's
perfected, and be even less such a person has been accepted. And similarly that is done for his
solid and the other obligations. So that's why we are in need of fasting the six days of chawan my
		
00:03:44 --> 00:04:11
			brothers and sisters in Islam. The third reason that the limit mentioned is that fasting the six
days of chawan is a good deed that you do. After a good deed you have done fast Abramova you fast
the six days of chawan and doing a good deed after a good deed is a great sign that such a person's
Ramadan has been accepted.
		
00:04:12 --> 00:04:50
			It's a sign of acceptance, that you follow up the good with good if you follow up the good deeds
with bad deeds, and that's a sign of not being accepted by Allah subhanho wa Taala so we are in need
of fasting six days of your word, to at least settle in our hearts and have a peace of mind and
tranquility that evening Allah Allah azza wa jal has accepted from us Ramadan. So fasting six days
of chawan after Ramadan is a great sign, and a good sign that such a person is Ramadan has been
accepted. And the fourth reason and final reason I share with you listen up carefully
		
00:04:51 --> 00:04:59
			is that you and I know the great and grand prize of Ramadan was that if a person wants to fast
		
00:05:00 --> 00:05:49
			And sincerely out of email and seeking a loss reward. The reward is that allows origin would forgive
him for all his previous sins. Now, to think last version for such a huge blessing, we are supposed
to follow a promo bond with six days of sugar. So six days of chawan is like a person is showing
gratitude to a large version, that Alhamdulillah Allah, that you have forgiven me for all my sins.
And this was the state of Rasulullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, he used to pray your long nights,
until his yield would crack and it would bleed, and I shall only allow one How would see that you
have been forgiven from all your sins? Why would you preach such a long prayer? He would answer by
		
00:05:49 --> 00:06:32
			seeing a fellow akuna abdon shockula Shall I not be a grateful slave? If Allah has forgiven me,
shall I not should gratitude for this blessing of forgiveness. So when you first six days of shall
when you are being grateful to Allah zosen for earning a complete forgiveness of your sins, and that
happened by fasting Ramadan itself. So we ask Allah subhanho wa Taala to always allow us to show
gratitude themes of Hannah and we asked him subhanho wa Taala to accept from us and give us the
ability and the strength and the power that we worship Him and continue to worship Him until the day
we die. Well Allahu Allah sallallahu wasallam about a gallon of Eden Mohammed while early on zombie
