What is the best thing to do after Ramadan? The Prophet (PBUH) told us to follow up Ramadan with fasting the 6 days of Shawwal.
There is a good reason for this. There is a reward there because there is an attitude that worship never stops. Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) strongly encouraged us to do 6 more and we will get the reward of the full year.
This is the only month that we asked to fast 6 days in this way. However, we shouldn’t just stick to fasting the 6 days of Shawwal but also 3 days of each month as well as Monday and Thursdays of every week.
The strongest position is to make up the missed days of Ramadan before the 6 days of Shawwal.
