The month of Syawal is not only celebrated with joy, but also provides Muslims with an opportunity to enhance the quality of their worship by observing six-days of fasting.

The sunat or commendable six days of fasting can be performed starting from the 2nd until the end of Syawal. This practice coincides with the hadith of the Prophet Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wasallam which states that whoever fasts in the month of Ramadhan and follows it with six days during Syawal, it will be as if he is fasting for the entire year.

In this regard, Muslims are encouraged to take the opportunity in the month of Syawal to continue performing good deeds as a continuation of Ramadan. Observing the six-days of fasting in Syawal provides an opportunity to increase rewards as well as maintain consistency in worship after Ramadhan.
