The month of Ramadan is followed by the white days of Shawwal, which hold great significance for Muslims. Fasting during these days is considered desirable and is believed to be equivalent to fasting for an entire year. The white days of Shawwal in 2024 will begin on April 22 and continue until April 24. These days fall on the thirteenth, fourteenth, and fifteenth of the middle of each Arab month. The timing of fasting the white days is based on the lunar calendar [7156b040].
In addition to the white days of Shawwal, Muslims also have the opportunity to earn additional rewards by fasting for six days after Ramadan. This practice is highly recommended and is said to be equivalent to fasting for a lifetime. The timing of fasting the white days and the six days of Shawwal provides Muslims with an opportunity to continue their spiritual journey and earn immense rewards [7156b040].
