Itikaf
I'TIKAAF
(1) I'tik'af means to stay in the Musjid with the niyyat of I'tikaaf for the sake of Allah Ta'ala. The purpose of such stay in the Musjid is Ibaadat and to gain proximity to Allah Ta'ala.
Abu Saeed Khudri (Radhiallahu anhu) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam) once performed 'I'tikaaf' in a tent (inside the Masjid)...
Allama Ibn Qaiyyim Radiallâhu anhu says: “The basic purpose of I’tikâf is that the heart gets attached to Allâh and, with it, one attains inner composure and equanimity and pre-occupation with the mundane things of life ceases and absorption in the eternal Reality takes its place

Iftaar in Makkah and Madina
The time for breaking fast at sunset during Ramadan is a unique moment for Muslims across the world. For people to break their fasts in the Grand Mosque in Makkah and the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah is an even more blessed and surreal experience.
