They are named so because during these nights, the moon is at its fullest and brightest. These days are highly recommended for fasting and other acts of worship. Fasting on these days is considered a Sunnah (recommended practice) of the Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).

According to several Hadiths, the Prophet (PBUH) regularly fasted on these three days and encouraged others to do the same. One narration from Abu Dharr (R.A) mentions that the Prophet said: If you fast three days in a month, then fast the 13th, 14th and 15th. (Reported by Tirmidhi)

Why are the White Days important?

• They are a Sunnah fast practiced regularly by the Prophet (PBUH).


• Fasting on these days brings spiritual benefits and helps in self-discipline.


• It is a way to earn reward consistently throughout the year.


• Fasting three days every month is considered equivalent to fasting the whole month in reward.

The White Days occur every month, not just in specific months like Ramadan or Muharram. For example, if a month starts on a Friday, then the White Days will fall on the 13th (Thursday), 14th (Friday), and 15th (Saturday). Muslims can check the Islamic calendar each month to find the exact dates.

Many Muslims around the world observe this Sunnah fasting as a way to stay connected to the example of the Prophet (PBUH) and to maintain spiritual energy throughout the year. It is also believed to help in developing patience, controlling desires, and increasing taqwa (God-consciousness).

Summary: The White Days are the 13th, 14th, and 15th of every Islamic month. Fasting on these days is a beautiful Sunnah that provides regular spiritual nourishment and is easy to follow for those seeking to earn reward and follow the Prophet’s path.
