During Shawwal people commonly follow six additional fasts (Sunnah of Shawwal) which are strongly recommended in this month despite Eid al-Fitr marking its beginning. According to Prophet Muhammad (PBUH), these six fasts performed after Eid provide spiritual benefits equal to fasting the entire year. According to Islamic tradition, the fasts of Shawwal serve two important purposes: they let believers maintain worship practices and they help maintain Ramadan's sacred spirit to build their faith greater through each passing month.
What month comes after Shawwal?
The Islamic calendar moves into Dhul-Qi'dah following Shawwal thus beginning the eleventh month of Islamic time while simultaneously setting conditions for the approaching Hajj pilgrimage period. During Dhul-Qi'dah Muslims establish a period of complete peace where every form of war and battle becomes prohibited as they can dedicate time to spiritual growth. During this month Muslims perform the Hajj pilgrimage before undertaking the following sacred month named Dhul-Hijjah. Dhul-Qi'dah initiates a period of physical and spiritual readiness toward the journey to the Holy Kaaba which lasts until the sacred months of Hajj.
