I’TEKAAF (SPIRITUAL RETREAT) AT AL-HAYAT CENTRE 2024

Ali Ibn Hussain (ra) narrates from his father that the Prophet ﷺ said: “He who observes the ten days I’tikaf during Ramadan will obtain the reward of two Hajj & two Umrah.” (Bayhaqi)

Ibn Abbas (RA) reported that the Prophet ﷺ said, (about him who engages in i’tikaf), “that he is safe from sin & he also gets that reward which everyone (outside of i’tikaf) gets for pious deeds.” (Ibn Majah)

What an amazing opportunity for us to gain such immense & abundant rewards, as well as proximity to Allah and His Messenger. Alongside the extensive reward, this is a unique and wonderful opportunity to strengthen & boost our imaan (faith) for the rest of the year.
