fasting six days of Shawwaal

fasting six days of Shawwaal
Praise be to Allaah.
Fasting six days of Shawwaal after the obligatory fast of Ramadaan is Sunnah Mustahabbah, not waajib. It is recommended for the Muslim to fast six days of Shawwaal, and in this there is great virtue and an immense reward. Whoever fasts these six days will have recorded for him a reward as if he had fasted a whole year, as was reported in a saheeh hadeeth from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Abu Ayyoob (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever fasts Ramadaan and follows it with six days of Shawwaal, it will be as if he fasted for a lifetime.” (Narrated by Muslim, Abu Dawood, al-Tirmidhi, al-Nisaa’i and Ibn Maajah).
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) explained this when he said: “Whoever fasts for six days after (Eid) al-Fitr has completed the year: (whoever does a good deed (hasanah) will have ten hasanah like it).” According to another report: “Allaah has made for each hasanah ten like it, so a month is like fasting ten months, and fasting six days completes the year.” (al-Nisaa’i and Ibn Maajah. See also Saheeh al-Targheeb wa’l-Tarheeb, 1/421). It was also narrated by Ibn Khuzaymah with the wording: “Fasting for the month of Ramadaan brings the reward of ten like it, and fasting for six days brings the reward of two months, and that is the fasting of the whole year.”
The Hanbali and Shaafa’i fuqaha’ explained that fasting six days of Shawwaal after fasting Ramadaan makes it as if one has fasted for an entire year of obligatory fasts, because the multiplication of the reward applies even to naafil fasts, because each hasanah brings the reward of ten like it.
Another of the important benefits of fasting six days of Shawwaal is that is makes up for any shortfall in a person's obligatory Ramadaan fasts, because no one is free of shortcomings or sins that have a negative effect on his fasting. On the Day of Resurrection, some of his naafil deeds will be taken to make up the shortcomings in his obligatory deeds, as the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The first thing for which people will be brought to account on the Day of Resurrection will be their salaah (prayer). Our Lord, may He be glorified and exalted, will say to His angels – although He knows best – ‘Look at the salaah of My slave, whether it is complete or incomplete.’ If it is perfect, it will be recorded as perfect, and if something is lacking, He will say, ‘Look and see whether My slave did any voluntary (naafil) prayers.’ If he did some voluntary prayers, [Allaah] will say, Complete the obligatory actions of My slave from his voluntary actions.’ Then all his actions will be dealt with in a similar manner.” (Narrated by Abu Dawood).
And Allaah knows best.

how to clean up infected PC

Musim Virus, musim hacked meng-hacked...
kadang kita terima email yang subjectya cukup mengundang penasaran , tapi pas diclick...euh siborokok teh Virus.....

Basically the steps are:
1. Get a blank CD or blank USB memory stick.
2. On a clean (or relatively clean) system, browse to:
http://connect.microsoft.com/systemsweeper
3. Click on Download 32 bit version
4. Run the exe that you just downloaded, it's: mssstool32.exe
5. Follow the instructions to create your bootable CD and/or USB
6. Put the cdrom into the infected system or plug in the USB.
Make sure the system is plugged into the internet.
7. Reboot your potentially infected system, but just after it turns
back on you must hit the f12 key. If you miss and wait too long,
it will start booting your OS, then kill the power and try again.
Eventually you will get a "boot menu". That boot menu will allow
you to boot from cdrom and/or usb. An older system might not have
usb booting. Select USB or CDROM depending on which you are using.
8. Wait for the sweeper application to come up (takes a while)
9. Run the scan. If "scan" is not clickable you may have too old a
version of windows ( good for Xp,vista or 7 Only)
10. When the scan is done it will tell you about the infection and
let you click a button to fix it.
