It was a practice of our Prophet (\ufdfa), his companions, and pious who came after them.<\/span>\n\nAnas bin Malik narrated:<\/span>\n
“The Prophet (\ufdfa) would perform \u2018Itikaf during the last ten (nights) of Ramadan. One year he did not perform \u2018Itikaf, so he performed \u2018Itikaf for twenty (nights) in the following year.” <\/span>\n\n(<\/span>Tirmidhi<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/blockquote>\nAisha reported: <\/span>\n
\u201cWhen the Messenger of Allah (\ufdfa) decided to observe \u2018Itikaf, he prayed in the morning and then went to the place of his \u2018Itikaf, and he commanded that a tent should be pitched for him, and it was pitched\u2026\u201d<\/span>\n\n(<\/span>Muslim<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/blockquote>\nRemember, \u2019Itikaf must be performed by someone who is fasting and in the Masjid, and also you should refrain from going out for anything unnecessary.<\/span>\n\nNarrated Aisha: <\/span>\n
\u201cThe sunnah for one who is observing \u2018Itikaf (in a mosque) is not to visit a patient, or to attend a funeral, or touch or embrace one’s wife, or go out for anything but necessary purposes. There is no \u2018Itikaf without fasting, and there is no \u2018Itikaf except in a congregational mosque. <\/span>\n\n(<\/span>Abu Dawood<\/span><\/a>)<\/span><\/blockquote>\nSo start making preparations for these last ten nights to be spent in seclusion in one of the houses from the houses of Allah. #ReviveRamadan and I\u2019ll see you in \u2018Itikaf. <\/span>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
