Shawwal

About the Month of Shawwal

Shawwal is the tenth month of the Islamic lunar calendar and marks the celebration of Eid al-Fitr at its beginning, following the blessed month of Ramadan. It is a month of gratitude, joy, and renewal of faith. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ encouraged fasting six days in Shawwal, promising a reward equal to fasting the entire year when combined with the Ramadan fasts.

Key Points:


Shawwal begins with Eid al-Fitr, a day of celebration, prayer, and charity.
Fasting six days in Shawwal brings immense reward and spiritual benefit.
It is a time to maintain the good habits developed during Ramadan.

A Positive Message for This Blessed Month

  • Shawwal is an opportunity to carry forward the faith, discipline, and generosity cultivated in Ramadan. It reminds us that worship does not end with Ramadan, but continues throughout the year.

Advice for Muslims


Celebrate Eid with joy, gratitude, and kindness towards others.
Observe the six voluntary fasts of Shawwal for extra blessings.
Continue the acts of worship, Qur’an reading, and charity you practiced in Ramadan.
