Default Would you like the reward of fasting for the whole year??

Asalamo Alaikum respected brothers and sisters in Islam.
The month of Ramadan is coming to a quick end, and the days of fasting are almost over.
Today i want to share with you just some advice which will InshAllah increase your count of hasanat.
Wouldn''t it be great to get the reward of fasting the whole year? We all know the great rewards of fasting, and think if we fasted every single day in the year!
I just wanted to share with you an easy way, which our beloved Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) has informed us of.

As Ramadan ends, the month of Shawwal begins.

Abu Ayyoob (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:
"Whoever fasts Ramadan and follows it with six days of Shawwaal, it will be as if he fasted for a lifetime."
(Narrated by Muslim, Abu Dawood, al-Tirmidhi, al-Nisaa'i and Ibn Maajah).

Now think about it. You have just fasted 30 days, will fasting 6 days really be that hard? NO! You are already have the momentum going. It is going to be no sweat InshAllah.
We are already great sinners, and the reward of fasting is immense. Dont you think you can use some of that?

Now another really important benefit of fasting these six Shawwal fasts are, if you; for any reason missed a obligatory fast in the month of Ramadan,
these fasts will count towards your missed fasts, and towards the "extra" six which i know you will all InshAllah keep.
I am very sure that none of us can claim that our fasts were free of any shortcoming or mistake, that had a negative effect
on our fast.

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "The first thing for which people will be brought to account on the Day of Resurrection will be their salaah (prayer). Our Lord, may He be glorified and exalted, will say to His angels â€" although He knows best â€" 'Look at the salaah of My slave, whether it is complete or incomplete.' If it is perfect, it will be recorded as perfect, and if something is lacking, He will say, 'Look and see whether My slave did any voluntary (naafil) prayers.' If he did some voluntary prayers, [Allah] will say, Complete the obligatory actions of My slave from his voluntary actions.' Then all his actions will be dealt with in a similar manner." (Narrated by Abu Dawood).

So InshAllah i hope that all of us will take this opportunity, and earn some extra reward.
Please remember me, my family and all of the Muslim Ummah in your duas.
