Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and obey every command of His, he resembles those who glorify Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ day and night and never gets tired of doing so.’

Majlis Tarbiyyati I’tikaf

Dear Islamic brothers! A Muslim receives many opportunities to perform good deeds during I’tikaf! Acting upon the Sunnah, we should also observe the whole-month I’tikaf once in our life if not every year, and we should also persuade others to do the same. اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ, Dawat-e-Islami has established a department called ‘Majlis I’tikaf’ to strengthen the system of I’tikaf in the month of Ramadan.

اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه عَزَّوَجَلَّ! Under Majlis I’tikaf, the whole-month and the last ten-days I’tikaf is observed not only in hundreds of Masajid of the country but also in the Masajid of different countries. Observing I’tikaf in them, thousands of Muslims are privileged to offer other Nafl acts of worship besides offering the five daily Salahs with Jama’at. In addition to these acts, Wudu and Ghusl, Salah and fasting and other Shar’i rulings are also taught in I’tikaf. Every day after Zuhr and Taraweeh, one can gain lots of Islamic information in the form of answers full of knowledge and wisdom to the questions asked from Ameer-e-Ahl-e-Sunnat دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـه in 2 Madani Muzakarahs. Furthermore, many who observe I’tikaf, travel with the Madani Qafilahs of teaching the Sunan as the month of Ramadan ends and the night of Shawwal begins (Chand Raat).

رحمتِ حق سے دامن تم آ کر بھرو              مَدَنی ماحول میں کر لو تم اعتکاف

فضلِ ربّ سے گناہوں کی کالک دُھلے         مَدَنی ماحول میں کر لو تم اعتکاف

نیکیوں کا تمہیں خوب جذبہ ملے               مَدَنی ماحول میں کر لو تم اعتکاف

بھائی گر چاہتے ہو "نَمازیں پڑھوں"              مَدَنی ماحول میں کر لو تم اعتکاف

نیکیوں میں تمنّا ہے "آگے بڑھوں"               مَدَنی ماحول میں کر لو تم اعتکاف

تم کو راحت کی نعمت اگر چاہئے               مَدَنی ماحول میں کر لو تم اعتکاف
