Ramadan I’tikaf

A structured 10-day Ramadan i’tikaf in the masjid with a guided schedule for worship, reflection, spiritual growth, and renewal.
Ramadan is the month of mercy, Qur’an, and forgiveness—and i’tikaf is one of the most powerful ways to experience its depth. Our Ramadan I’tikaf is hosted during the last 10 days of Ramadan and offers time away from routine to sit with the Qur’an, with dhikr, and with your own heart. With a structured program and guided daily schedule, participants engage in Qur’an recitation, reminders, and guided dhikr in a focused environment designed to help you seek Allah’s pleasure and maximize the blessing of Laylat al-Qadr.
