Note: Encouragement To Fast The Sunnah Fasting 6 Days Of Shawwaal After Completing The Obligatory Fasts In Ramadan

💐 In The Name Of Allah The Most Gracious The Most Merciful

🗒️ Inn-sha-Allah on Thursday 11th May is the 20th of Shawwaal here in the Philippines. 

You may combine two intentions Inn-sha-Allah to fast two kinds of Sunnah fasting: Six days of Shawwaal and fasting every other Monday and Thursday to earn multiple rewards for striving to follow the noble example of the beloved Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam for Allah's sake. 

When it comes to fasting Sunnah / voluntary fasts, you can make your niyyah intention to fast even after the Adhaan of Salat Al-Fajr or during the daytime as long as you didn't eat or drink anything before intending to fast the Sunnah fast, and you're allowed to break your voluntary fasting if some individuals invite you for a meal or gathering while fasting a voluntary fast then intend to fast on another day. 

About 9 days Inn-sha-Allah remaining until the beginning of Dhul-Qi'dah.

📖 Abu Ayyub RadhiAllahu 'anhu narrated: Allah's noble Messenger Muhammad SallAllahu 'alaihi wa sallam said, "Whoever fasts the month of Ramadan and then follows it with six days of fasting in the month of Shawwal, it will be as if he fasted for the entire year."
