The Hidden Plan of ALLAH
NakhaꜤī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه states: “The noble elders رَحِمَهُمُ الـلّٰـهُ preferred for the one in iꜤtikāf to spend the night of Eid al-Fitr in the masjid.”[1]
Encouragement for the Six Fasts of Shawwāl
O devotees of the Prophet! Following Ramadan, the month of Shawwāl approaches. Fortunate Muslims attain the privilege of observing six fasts in this month after Eid al-Fitr. Let us listen to the virtues of these fasts to cultivate the mindset for observing them and benefiting from their blessings. It is stated in the hadith: “Whosoever observes the fasts of Ramadan and then observes six days ˹of fasts˺ in Shawwāl emerges from sins as though he were born from his mother’s womb this very day.”[2]
Furthermore: “Whosoever observes the fasts of Ramadan and then follows them with six fasts in Shawwāl, it is as though he has fasted for a lifetime.”[3]
Khalīl al-Millah, Mufti Muhammad Khalīl Khān Barkātī رَحْمَةُ الـلّٰـهِ عَـلَيْه remarks:
There is no harm if these fasts are observed consecutively after Eid; however, it is preferable to observe two fasts each week and one on the second day of Eid. To observe them throughout the month also appears appropriate.[4]
Encouragement to Travel in Madani Qafilahs on the Night Before the Eid Day
Dear Islamic brothers! Ramadan is now a guest for only a short while and is soon to depart from us. Subsequently, اِنْ شَــآءَالـلّٰـه the night of the new moon shall arrive. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه, a number of fortunate Islamic brothers who attain the privilege of iꜤtikāf every year, along with other devotees of the Prophet, embark as travellers in Madani Qafilahs on this night, inspired by the sacred passion to “strive to reform myself and the people of the entire world.”
