Shawwal Roza Niyat aur Namaz - Fasting the Six Days of Shawwal
Significance and Importance of the six days of fasting in the Month of Shawwal.
Hazrat Sayyiduna Ayyub radi allah anhu relates that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wasallam said, “Whoever fasts Ramadan and follows it with six days from Shawwal it is as if they fasted the entire year.” [Muslim, Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi, and Ibn Majah; Ahmad transmitted it from Jabir, Muntaqa]
Sayyiduna Thawban radi allah anhu relates that the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wasallam said, “Whoever fasts Ramadan, and then six days after Eid, it is an entire year. Whoever does a good deed shall have ten times its reward.” [Ibn Majah, Muntaqa]
Fasting six days of Shawwal from second day of Shawwal month has lots of Blessings and immense reward. These six days fastings are Sunnah, not wajib.
The person who fasts these six days will rewarded with the rewards of fastings for 1000 fast. Fire will be haram for this person and his ammal (judgement day report) will be filled with immense rewards.
Its not compulsory that a person has to keep the six fasts continuously. He can keep it as per his convenience but it must be done in the same month of Shawwal.
