4a]
2- The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) strove
to seek that night before he was told when it is. So he started with
the first ten days, then he observed it during the middle ten, then he
continued to observe i'tikaaf during thelast ten days, when he was
told that it is in the last ten days. This is the utmost effort to
seek Laylat al-Qadr.
3- The Sahaabah (may Allaah be pleased with them) followed the
Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him),
because they started i'tikaaf and continued with him until the end of
the month, because they were so keen to follow hisexample.
4- The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) was compassionate towards his companions and showed mercy to
them, because he knew that i'tikaaf was difficult for them. So he gave
them the choice between staying with him or of leaving, and said: "…so
whoever among you wishes to observe i'tikaaf let him do so."
There are other aims of i'tikaaf as well, including the following:
1- Being alone with Allaah and cutting oneselfoff from people if
possible, so that one may focus completely on Allaah.
2- Renewing oneself spiritual by focusing totally on Allaah.
3- Cutting oneself off completely in order to worship Allaah with
prayer, du'aa', dhikr and reading Qur'aan.
4- Protecting one's fast from everything that mayaffect it of
whims and desires.
5- Reducing permissibleworldly pleasures and refraining from many
of them even though one is able to enjoy them./

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*
-
Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-
