The Arrival of the Final Prophet صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ
اَلصَّلٰوۃُ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَیْكَ یَا رَسُولَ اللہ وَعَلٰی اٰلِكَ وَ اَصْحٰبِكَ یَا حَبِیْبَ اللہ
اَلصَّلٰوۃُ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلَیْكَ یَا نَبِیَّ اللہ وَعَلٰی اٰلِكَ وَ اَصْحٰبِكَ یَا نُوْرَ اللہ
نَوَيۡتُ سُنَّتَ الۡاِعۡتِكَافِ
I make the intention of Sunnah iꜤtikāf.
Dear Islamic brothers! Whenever you enter a masjid, make the intention of iꜤtikāf, for you will then continuously gain the reward of iꜤtikāf as long as you stay inside. Remember, eating, drinking, sleeping, having saḥūr or ifṭār, or even drinking Zamzam water or the water upon which prayers have been recited is not permitted inside a masjid. However, if the intention of iꜤtikāf is made, all of these acts become permissible. One should not make this intention solely to eat, drink, or sleep; rather, it should be made to please Allah.
As mentioned in Fatāwā Shāmī:
If somebody wishes to eat, drink, or sleep in a masjid, he should make an intention of iꜤtikāf and engage in the dhikr of Allah for some time. Then, he may proceed as he wishes (i.e. now if he wants to eat, drink or sleep, he can do so).”
