Dream - Puasa Syawal is one of the recommended practices for Muslims in the month of Syawal. Considering that Syawal is a very noble month after Ramadan. There are many virtues and benefits that friends of Dream can obtain by observing this Syawal fasting. So, it's a pity if it is missed. There are even several evidences that explain the recommendation to observe the Syawal fasting for six days. Where friends of Dream can observe it consecutively or separately.

"The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever fasts during Ramadan and follows it with fasting six days in the month of Shawwal, it is as if he has fasted for the entire year." (HR. Muslim)"

"Whoever fasts for six days after the Eid al-Fitr, it is as if they have fasted for a whole year. [Whoever does one good deed, then they will be rewarded with ten similar good deeds]." (Narrated by Ibn Majah and authenticated by Sheikh Al Albani in Irwa'ul Gholil)

"Whoever has observed fasting during Ramadan, then adds to it by fasting six days in the month of Shawwal, it is as if they have fasted for the entire year." (Narrated by a group of hadith scholars, except for an-Nasa'i)

"Whoever fasts in Ramadan, then the reward of one month of Ramadan will be multiplied by ten, and whoever fasts for six days after Eid al-Fitr [it will be multiplied by sixty], then all of it (Ramadan and six days of Shawwal) will be equivalent to one year." (HR. Ahmad)

The benefits of fasting for the first six days of Shawwal are to receive multiplied rewards, considering that Shawwal is also a noble month. In addition, it has been explained in a hadith: "Whoever fasts for six days after Eid al-Fitr, it is as if he fasts for a whole year. (Whoever does one good deed, he will receive the reward of ten similar deeds)." (HR. Ibn Majah)

The second benefit of fasting for six days in the month of Shawwal is getting closer to Allah SWT. Whoever follows this sunnah of the Prophet will receive a noble place in the sight of Allah SWT. As explained in a hadith narrated by Muslim:

"Every act of mankind is for himself except fasting, it is for Me and I will reward it. Then, the Prophet continued, 'By Allah in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, the smell of the mouth of the fasting person is more pleasant in the sight of Allah than the fragrance of musk oil.' (Narrated by Muslim)"

The next benefit is to receive the rewards of fasting for a whole year. As the Prophet Muhammad said: "Whoever fasts during Ramadan and then fasts for six days in the month of Shawwal, it is as if he has fasted for the whole year." (HR. Muslim) To start fasting, Dream friends can do it on the 2nd of Shawwal or the second day of Eid al-Fitr. Fasting for six days in Shawwal as a perfecting act in the month of Ramadan.

Fasting in Syawal is also beneficial for boosting the immune system. Because during fasting, someone is trying to resist hunger. As a result, stem cells in the body are stimulated to produce new white blood cells. These cells help prevent infections. The creation of these white blood cells is what can regenerate the entire immune system and play an important role in protecting the body from virus and bacteria attacks that cause diseases.

The last benefit of fasting in Syawal is that it can prevent digestive disorders. Because we have just completed a month-long fast in Ramadan. Well, this Syawal fast makes us more controlled in terms of consuming food. So, our body will be protected from digestive disorders.
