Bismillah
More opportunities and offers from the Most Gracious.
Abu Ayyub Al-Ansari (May Allah be pleased with him) related the Messenger of Allah, (p.b.u.h.), said: "Whoever observes the Ramadan fast and follows it with six days of fast in Shawwal, it is as if he has fasted Dahr (the whole year or possibly forever)." (Bukhari)
Mash a Allah, usually one after Ramadan acquires a tendency for not eating much, thus, if one takes this opportunity and makes a Niyah to observe the fasting of 6 days extra after Ramadan = fasting the whole year in reward. Some good chance for one not to miss Insh aAllah.
