Shawwal Today: Eid al-Fitr and the Six Fasts
Shawwal is the tenth month of the Hijri year, and it opens with celebration. Its first day is Eid al-Fitr, the festival that breaks the Ramadan fast, a day of congregational prayer, new clothes, visiting, and charity already given before the prayer. After a month of restraint, Shawwal's first morning feels entirely different, and getting that first day right is the single most important job of this page: an Eid announced a day late or early affects whole communities.
Shawwal also carries the six voluntary fasts, kept on any six days of the month, which many people complete in the second or third week once Eid visiting settles. The month holds a sobering memory too: the Battle of Uhud, fought in 3 AH, in which many companions, including Hamza, were martyred. Joy and remembrance therefore sit side by side in Shawwal in a way they do not in any other month.
Counting the six fasts is the practical skill here. If Eid falls on the 1st and a person starts fasting on the 4th, six fasts finish on the 9th, leaving the rest of the 29- or 30-day month free. If today is already the 18th, twelve or thirteen days remain to fit six fasts in without crowding them. That window is generous, but only if it is counted before the month slips away.
