Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah
As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu
During Ramadhan , every year we all keep our fast for an entire month. We stay away from food and water and sometimes we kept our fast even when we fail get up for suhoor.
Then why is it after Ramadhan , just thinking about fasting for 6 more days seems so hard ?
Why is it that we think we will not be able to do it and we do not even try?
Yes , we all know , not many people keep these fasts , but why do we want to be counted among those people ?
Concept of keeping additonal 6 Days of Fasting
Do you know that the Islamic Calendar contains 354/ 355 days ?
Allah SWT knows that keeping fast for 1 day is very tough. So its because of the bounty of Allah SWT that He gives the reward of 10 days of fasting by just having 1 day of fast.
Subhanallah
So
29 or 30 days of Ramadhan X 10 days of reward for each day of fast
= 290 or 300 days of equivalent reward.
That still leaves approx 60 days to complete 1 year.
60 divided by 10 = 6 days left of fasting.
Inshallah. Just by having additional 6 days of fasting we would get the reward as if we have fasted for 1 FULL YEAR,,,
WOW !!!
Hold on,,,,
Thats not all…
Know the bounty of Allah SWT ,
He is Most Merciful , Most Forgiving , Most Kind ,
Much more than we can Ever Think and Imagine.
Allah SWT, just does not gives you the reward for fasting 6 additional days equalivent of 1 year ,
but He multiplies not by 10 or 20 .
But He rewards us for as if we have fasted for Full Lifetime
Subhanallah
"Whoever fasts Ramadaan then follows it with six days of Shawwaal, it will be as if he fasted for a lifetime"
(Muslim, no. 1984),
What are the virtues of fasting the 6 days of Shawwal ?
Abu Ayub al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) reported Allaahs Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: “He who observed the fast of Ramadan and then followed it with six (fasts) of Shawwal, it would be as if he fasted perpetually.”
(perpetually means: lifetime)
(Sahih Muslim, Book 006, Number 2614)
Thawbaan (may Allaah be pleased with him), the freed slave of Allaahs Messenger (peace be upon him), related that the Messenger of Allaah (peace be upon him) said, “Whoever fasts six days after the Festival of Breaking the Fast completes the reward of a year, for whoever brings a good deed gets [the reward of] ten similar.”

Tips on how to keep 6 days of Fasting of Shawaal
Shawaal has just started , only a week has gone by.
You still have the time to do it.
Do not leave it for next year for who knows this might have been your last ramadhan.
Do not listen to shaitaan waswas, for it is the shaitaan that does not want you to get the reward of fasting equivalent of lifetime.
1: Just wake up for suhoor tomorrow and keep 1 day of fast.
After completing 1 day of fast, it will seem easy and it is but natural we would automatically be keeping the remaining 5 days of fasting.
(Inshallah)
Allah knows best
