Importances of the month of shawal

Six day of fasting and get a lot of benefit

Its Sunnah ( Tradition of Holy Prophet  ) to fast for six days in Shawwal, as narrated in the following Hadeeth by Abu Ayyub Ansaru (R.A) that the Holy Prophet  has said, "If you retain the fasts of Ramadan throughout your life and keep six consecutive fasts in Shawwal, it'll be as if you've got unbroken a life of fasts, and if you fast for six consecutive days in Shawwal, it will be as if you've fasted all year round."(Muslim)

However, it is better to make up for the missed fasts separately from Shawwal's six-day fasting, as some scholars believe that when combined with make-up (qadha) fasts one does not receive the reward of optional (nafl) fasting.
