Final
The Month of Shawwal
• Shawwāl is • the tenth month of the Lunar Islamic
calendar.• Shawwāl means to ‘lift or carry’; so named because she-camels normally would be carrying a fetus at this time
of year
• The Islamic calendar is a lunar calendar, and months begin when the first crescent of a new
moon is sighted. • Since the Islamic lunar calendar year is 11 to
12 days shorter than the solar year, Shawwāl migrates throughout the seasons. The actual
and estimated start and end dates for Shawwāl are as follows:
•The first day of Shawwāl is Eid ul-Fitr.
• Some Muslims observe six days of fasting during Shawwāl beginning the day after Eid ul-Fitr since fasting is prohibited on this day. These six
days of fasting together with the Ramadan fasts, are equivalent to
fasting "perpetually", according to ahadeethSahih
• The reasoning behind this tradition is that a good deed in Islam is rewarded 10 times,
hence fasting 30 days during Ramadan and 6 days during Shawwāl is equivalent to fasting
the whole year in terms of reward
See you next year, Inshallah
•I wish you •A Very
•Happy Eid Mubarak!!!
