Şevval

Şevval is the tenth month of the Islamic calendar, following Ramadan and preceding Dhul-Qadah. As the Islamic calendar is lunar, Şevval begins when the new crescent moon is sighted, making its length approximately 29 or 30 days.

Şevval is significant in Islam due to the observance of Eid al-Fitr, the "Festival of Breaking the Fast," which marks the end of Ramadan's fasting period and begins on the first day of Şevval. This is a major religious holiday celebrated by Muslims worldwide with prayers, family gatherings, feasts, and gift-giving.

Another significant aspect related to Şevval is the voluntary fasting of six days during this month. While not obligatory, many Muslims choose to fast six days in Şevval following Eid al-Fitr, believing it to be highly rewarding, as Islamic tradition states that doing so is equivalent to fasting an entire year.
