I'tikaf: Detach from World, Earn Rewards of Two Hajj in Ramadan's Last Ashra!
•I'tikaf is a special devotion in Ramadan's last Ashra, where Muslims dedicate themselves solely to Allah's worship, detached from worldly affairs.
•It begins on the 21st fast and involves staying in a mosque, engaging in Quran recitation, remembrance (zikr), and supplications (duas) until the Eid moon is sighted.
•This period includes Laylat al-Qadr, a night of worship considered better than a thousand months, as revealed to Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (PBUH).
•Mufti Ilyas Mazahiri states that I'tikaf offers rewards (sawab) equivalent to two Hajj and two Umrah pilgrimages, a significant spiritual gain.
•Participants only leave the mosque for essential needs like ablution (wudu) or using the restroom, maintaining intense focus on devotion.
