Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī Ḥadīth [2025] – I’tikāf in the last ten days of Ramaḍān

We learn from these aḥādīth that the observance of i’tikāf in the last ten days of Ramaḍān is Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allāh be upon him). But it can be done only in masājid not at home. I’tikāf helps to enhance one’s spiritual growth and to strive hard to worship Allāh better as there is nothing to distract one’s attention from this noble pursuit.
