Pay for 6 Days and Get 1 Year Be
Pay for 6
Days and Get 1 Year Benefit
Special
Offer from ALLAH !!
HURRY!! Offer valid for this month only !!
What if
you have to pay 6$ and in return you will get 365$ ??
So you
will start saving atleast 1$ per day for 6 days from your pocket money.
Similarly, fasting for 6 days in the month of Shawwaal will give you reward for
1 year.
It is
recommended for the Muslim to fast six days of Shawwaal, and in this there is
great virtue and an immense reward. Whoever fasts these six days will have
recorded for him a reward as if he had fasted a whole year, as was reported in a
saheeh hadeeth from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Abu
Ayyoob (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allaah
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
"Whoever fasts Ramadhaan and follows it with six days
of Shawwaal, it will be as if he fasted for a lifetime." (Narrated by Muslim,
Abu Dawood, al-Tirmidhi, al-Nisaa'i and Ibn Maajah).
The Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) explained this when he said:
"Whoever
fasts for six days after (Eid) al-Fitr has completed the year: (whoever does a
good deed (hasanah) will have ten hasanah like it)."
According to another report:
"Allaah has made for each hasanah ten like it, so a month is like fasting ten
months, and fasting six days completes the year." (al-Nisaa'i and Ibn Maajah.
See also Saheeh al-Targheeb wa'l-Tarheeb, 1/421) .
It
was also narrated by Ibn Khuzaymah with the wording:
"Fasting for the month of Ramadhaan brings the reward of ten like it, and
fasting for six days brings the reward of two months, and that is the fasting of
the whole year."
The Hanbali and Shaafa'i
fuqaha' explained that fasting six days of Shawwaal after fasting Ramadhaan
makes it as if one has fasted for an entire year of obligatory fasts, because
the multiplication of the reward applies even to naafil fasts, because each
hasanah brings the reward of ten like it. Another of the important benefits of
fasting six days of Shawwaal is that is makes up for any shortfall in a person's
obligatory Ramadhaan fasts, because no one is free of shortcomings or sins that
have a negative effect on his fasting. On the Day of Resurrection, some of his
naafil deeds will be taken to make up the shortcomings in his obligatory deeds,
as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
"The first
thing for which people will be brought to account on the Day of Resurrection
will be their salaah (prayer). Our Lord, may He be glorified and exalted, will
say to His angels � although He knows best � 'Look at the salaah of My slave,
whether it is complete or incomplete.' If it is perfect, it will be recorded as
perfect, and if something is lacking, He will say, 'Look and see whether My
slave did any voluntary (naafil) prayers.' If he did some voluntary prayers,
[Allaah] will say, Complete the obligatory actions of My slave from his
voluntary actions.' Then all his actions will be dealt with in a similar
manner." (Narrated by Abu Dawood).
O our
Lord! Do not punish us if we forget or fall into error, O our Lord! Do not lay
on us a burden like that, which You did lay on those before us, O our Lord! Do
not put on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear. Pardon us our sins
and grant us forgiveness. Have mercy on us� Aameen.
NOTE : This offer is valid for only those muslims who kept fast for whole month of Ramadhaan
You can keep fasting on any 6 days of the whole month of Shawwal.
