Assalamu Alekum! Welcome to Reza On The Journey! I'm excited to share that I spent the first seven days of Itikaf at the Kaaba Sharif and performed Jumatul Bida in this video. It was such a special time! We also had a Jumatul Bida Khutbah, Dua, and Monajat at the end. I had been keeping you all in my prayers. Jazakallah Khair for your support! জাযাকাল্লাহ খায়ের.

Itikaf Meaning in English
Itikaf is an Arabic term that means "spiritual retreat" or "seclusion" in English. It refers to isolating oneself in a mosque to devote time to worship, prayer, and reflection. This practice is highly recommended in Islam, especially during the last ten days of Ramadan.

Itikaf is a spiritual retreat in Islam where a person isolates themselves in a mosque for dedicated worship, prayer, and reflection, especially during the last ten days of Ramadan. It is a Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) and offers immense spiritual rewards, including seeking Laylatul Qadr. Itikaf helps Muslims strengthen their connection with Allah, engage in Quran recitation, and purify their hearts from worldly distractions.
Itikaf During the Last Ten Days of Ramadan

What is Itikaf?
Itikaf is a spiritual retreat Muslims observe, particularly during the last ten days of Ramadan. It involves secluding oneself in a mosque to dedicate time to worship, prayer, Quran recitation, and seeking closeness to Allah.
Significance of Itikaf in Ramadan
The last ten days of Ramadan are especially significant because:
• Laylatul Qadr (The Night of Decree) falls within this period, a night better than 1,000 months (Quran 97:3).
• Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) would observe Itikaf during these days every year, seeking Allah's mercy and forgiveness.
• It is an opportunity for deep self-reflection, spiritual cleansing, and devotion to Allah.
Types of Itikaf
1. Sunnah Itikaf – Observed in the last ten days of Ramadan, following the example of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
2. Nafl (Voluntary) Itikaf – Can be observed at any time of the year for a few hours or days as an act of devotion.
3. Wajib (Obligatory) Itikaf – When a person vows to Allah to perform Itikaf under specific conditions.
How to Perform Itikaf?
1. Intention (Niyyah) – A person must intend to perform Itikaf solely for Allah's pleasure.
2. Seclusion in the Mosque—Itikaf must be observed in a mosque where congregational prayers (including Jumu'ah) are established. Women may observe It at home in a designated prayer space.
3. Acts of Worship – Itikaf includes:
o Quran recitation and reflection
o Dhikr (remembrance of Allah)
o Seeking forgiveness (Istighfar)
o Dua (supplication)
o Voluntary prayers (Nafl Salah)
o Avoiding unnecessary talk and distractions
4. Fasting – Fasting is recommended but not compulsory for Itikaf.
Breaking and Completing Itikaf
• Itikaf is invalidated if one leaves the mosque without necessity, except for essential needs (e.g., using the restroom, eating if no food is available inside).

• It ends with the announcement of Eid-ul-Fitr, after the Maghrib prayer on the 29th or 30th of Ramadan.
Benefits of Itikaf
• Strengthens the connection with Allah
• Provides mental peace and spiritual rejuvenation
• Encourages self-discipline and detachment from worldly distractions
• Allows time for deep Quranic reflection and Dua
• Increases chances of witnessing Laylatul Qadr
Conclusion
Itikaf is a unique spiritual retreat that allows Muslims to immerse themselves in worship and self-reflection. It is a time to disconnect from worldly distractions and seek Allah's mercy, forgiveness, and blessings. By following the Sunnah of the Prophet (PBUH), believers can maximize their rewards and strengthen their faith during the most sacred nights of Ramadan.
