We do not need to over flog the fact that I‘tikaf in the last ten days of Ramadan in the Masjid is the practice of our noble Prophet Muhammad. (s.a.w) It is a spiritual retreat for a certain number of days.

In fact it is a beautiful tradition that is necessary for Muslim to observe at least ones in his lifetime. The prophet did it almost throughout his lifetime.

And if we really follow the prophet in his beliefs and tradition, it becomes imperative for us to do the same if not every year of our life but one or more time to worship Allah in Ramadan.  The opportunity is here again; you do not need to procrastinate. You can observe even for a day, three, five or the remaining days in this Ramadan.

I’tikaf is meant to draw the Muslim closer to Allah by distancing yourself from worldly distractions and focusing only on Allah SWT. This spiritual retreat will take you closer to Allah SWT and provide the desired spiritual connection with Allah.

When we perform i’tikaf with sincerity, it is among the most virtuous of deeds, so much so, that even when you are asleep while in I’tikaf, you are considered to be in a state of worship, subhanallah!

Ruling of Itikaf

I‘tikaf is done in the Masjid where you can pray in congregation. The Muslim must be fasting. Thin Sunnah is done while observing the fasting of Ramadan. It must also be consecutive.  It must not be that you do one day today and you break it to continue tomorrow and the likes. If you planned or intended to do three days, it must be done consecutively.
