Itikaf is a deeply revered Islamic ritual observed in the last ten days of Ramadan. During this time, worshippers seclude themselves in a mosque, dedicating their time to uninterrupted prayers, Quran recitation, and spiritual reflection.
This practice follows the tradition of Prophet Muhammad (Peace Be Upon Him) and offers a unique opportunity to strengthen one’s connection with Allah while distancing from worldly distractions.
For Ramadan 1446 Hijri, Itikaf will begin on Ramadan 20 (March 20, 2025) and continue until the conclusion of the holy month. Thousands of worshippers from around the world are expected to participate in this sacred retreat at the two holy mosques.
