A Brief Introduction to Imam al-Bukhārī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه
Dear Islamic brothers! On the 1st of Shawwal, Imam Muhammad b. IsmāꜤīl al-Bukhārī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه left this world. So, let us listen to a short mention of him. He was a great Saint رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه, a great scholar, and especially a great leader in the science of Hadith. He was born on 13 Shawwal 194 AH in Bukhara[1] and passed away at the age of 62 on 1 Shawwal 256 AH.[2] His radiant shrine is in a town called "Khartank" near Samarkand.[3]
Imam al-Bukhārīرَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه served the science of Hadith all his life. He was very devoted to worship and very pious. For a long time after his death, a fragrance better than musk came from his grave. People used to take the soil of his shrine as a Tabarruk (for blessing).[4] Send Īṣāl al-Thawāb to Imam al-Bukhārī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه today! اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه! You will receive blessings.

Dear Islamic brothers! Fortunate Muslims gain the blessing of keeping six fasts after Eid-ul-Fitr. Let us listen to the virtues of these fasts so that we may develop a mindset to keep them and benefit from their blessings:
1. It is stated in a Hadith: “Whoever kept the fasts of Ramadan and then kept six fasts in Shawwal, he has become free from sins as though his mother just gave birth to him today.”[5]
