Virtues Of Ramadan: #9

#9: Fasting the Month of Ramadan +6 Days is Equivalent to Fasting the Whole Year, or Even a Lifetime

Of the virtues of Ramadan, one is awarded with the rewards of fasting the whole year or even a lifetime fasting. This is if he fasts 6 days in the month of Shawwāl after fasting the month of Ramadan. This is what is understood from the narration of Abī Ayyūb al-Anṣārī raḍiya Allāhu ‘anhu as reported by Imām Muslims that the Prophet ṣallā Allāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam said:

“Whoever fasts Ramadan then follows it with six days of Shawwāl, it will be like fasting for a lifetime.”

Also, Imām Aḥmad narrates that the Prophet ṣallā Allāhu ‘alayhi wa sallam said:

“Whoever fasts Ramadan, a month is like ten months, and fasting six days after al-Fitr will complete the year.”

An Overview of Laytal al-Qadr

Laylat al-Qadr   variously rendered in English as the Night of Decree, Night of Power, Night of Value, Night of Destiny, or Night of Measures, is, in Islamic belief, the night when the first verses of the Quran were revealed to the Islamic prophet Muhammad.[5] It is one of the nights of the last ten days of Ramadan. Muslims believe that on this night the blessings and mercy of God are abundant, sins are forgiven, supplications are accepted, and that the annual decree is revealed to the angels who also descend to earth, specially the Angel Gabriel, referred to as "the Spirit", to perform every and any errand decreed by God. Islam holds that God Almighty alone answers our supplications and that He alone receives them and forgives humanity and gives them what they ask for and that on this particular night Muslims should actively seek God's forgiveness and engage in various acts of worship.
