Fellow Muslims, what is the true credit for fasting the six days of Shawwal?

I love your name,because it reminds me of one of our prophet's wives(peace be upon them).

here is some links may help you my dear sister:

may ALLAH gather us in his paradise!

Look, sister,

According to my knowledge and understanding, when you fast Ramadan followed by six days of Shawwal, it's same, in reward (Thawab) as fasting the whole YEAR, and if you fast every year like this, Ramadan followed by six days of Shawwal, then it's like fasting the entire life-time.

For more understanding:

Allah multiplies reward for man for doing a good deed by ten times.

So, when you fast Ramadan, you'll be rewarded as if you fast ten months. And fasting six days = sixty days (two months). Then ten months + two months = 12 months (1 year).

I hope I could clarify it for you, sister.

30 days in month × 10 = 300

6 days in Shawwal × 10 =60

300+60 = 360

How many days do we have in each year?

we have 360days.

Salam...from what i know ..it is as if you had fasted an entire year....

just ignore the ones who have no brains!!

Well, even if you don't get the amount of credit for it you seek, you'll have some wild hallucinations by day 5 or 6 so it'll still be worth it.
