Shawwal - Tenth Month Of Islamic Calendar

Shawwal is the tenth month in the Islamic calendar. It is the month of holidays of Eid-ul-Fitr right after the month of Ramadan. Muslims pay gratitude and enjoy meals with family and friends by thanking Allah that He bestowed them with such a blessed month. In Shawal, it is further encouraged to fast for an additional six days because this period of fasting is rewarded like that of fasting throughout one whole year.
