Sahabat Al Lathif!

The month of Ramadan has ended, but we can still gain its rewards and blessings in this month of Syawal. One of the special practices we can do in Syawal is fasting for 6 days.

Syawal fasting has many virtues, one of which is as the Prophet SAW said: "Whoever fasts Ramadan and then fasts six days in Syawal, it is as if he has fasted for a full year." (HR Muslim).

Masha Allah, what an extraordinary reward, isn't it?

So, when can we perform Syawal fasting? We can do it anytime in Syawal, except on days that are forbidden to fast, such as Eid al-Fitr, Tasyeek days, and days of doubt.

How to perform Syawal fasting?

Just like Ramadan fasting, Syawal fasting is also done with the intention at night and refraining from all things that break the fast from dawn to sunset.

Tips for Performing Syawal Fasting:

• Intention at Night: Before going to bed, Al Lathif Friends can read the intention of Syawal fasting: "Nawaitu shauma sitta ayyaamin min Syawali sunnatan lillahi ta'ala."
• Maintain Sahur and Iftar Eating Patterns: Make sure to have a nutritious suhoor and break your fast with something sweet, like dates.
• Increase Good Deeds: In addition to fasting, Al Lathif Friends can also increase other good deeds such as praying, reading the Qur'an, and giving alms.
• Invite Family and Friends: Invite family and friends to do Syawal fasting together to be more enthusiastic.

Come on, Al Lathif Friends, make this Syawal full of rewards and blessings by doing 6 days of Syawal fasting!

Don't forget to stay healthy and keep your spirits up in worship.
