I'tikaf 2024

Itikaf refers to going into seclusion for the sole purpose of worshiping Allah swt and attaching oneself and ones heart to His creator. It is the sunnah of the Prophet during the last days of Ramadan to stay over at the masjid. He used to perform Itikaf in the last ten days of Ramadan until Allah the Mighty & Majestic, took him. (Bukhari)

In fact during the final Ramadan of the Prophets life, he performed itikaf for 20 days instead signaling that this would be the last Ramadan he witnesses.  Itikaf provides an opportunity to the believer to get closer to Allah by temporarily freeing oneself and ones mind from the activities and worries of the world.

For sisters this means, secluding yourself in a portion of your house or room and for brothers this means staying at the masjid. 

InshaAllah this year well be conducting a structured program during the last 10 days  to maximize the benefit for those performing itikaf which will include taleem, gatherings of dhikr, spiritual discourses, and quran recitation.  Additionally, plenty of time will be allocated for individual worship. This will allow us to benefit as a congregation and as individuals.
