THE MESSAGE
I'TIKAAF
(Sitting in seclusion for the last 10 days of Ramadaan)
--------
HADITH: Abu Saeed Khudri (Radhiallahu anhu) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam) once performed 'I'tikaaf' in a tent (inside the Masjid) for the first ten days of Ramadan. Thereafter, he extended it to the middle ten days. Thereafter, he put his head out of the tent and said: "Verily in search of "Laylatul Qadr" did I perform "I'tikaaf" for the first ten days and extended it to the next ten days for the same purpose; then I was told that this night is in the last ten days; so those with me should also continue the "I'tikaf". I had indeed been shown that night and then made to forget which one it shall be. And verily did I see myself prostrating to Allah with my forehead in mud on the morning after that night. Therefore, seek "Laylatul Qadr" among the last ten nights of Ramadan; seek it among the odd ones." Abu Saeed (Radi Allaho anho) says: "That same night it rained. The roof of the Masjid leaked, and I saw Rasulullah (Sallallaahu ?layhi Wasallam) performing 'Sujood' (prostration) in muddy clay; and that was the morning of the 21 st night."

COMMENTARY: It was the general practice of Rasulullah (Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam) to perform "I'tikaaf" in Ramadhan. At times he used to remain in the mosque for the whole month and, during the last year of his life, he was in "I'tikaaf" for twenty days. Because he usually secluded himself in the Masjid for the last ten days of Ramadhan, the 'ulama' consider it "Sunnah Muakkadah" to perform "I'tikaaf" for that period.

From the above Hadith, it can be deduced that the major objet behind "I'tikaaf" was to search for "Laylatul Qadr". What better manner can there be for this search to remain in "Ibaadah" all the time, as in "I'tikaaf", whether one is awake or asleep. Furthermore, in "I'tikaaf" one is free from all daily tasks and thus has all the time to be devoted to "Zikruilah" (the remembrance of Allah) and meditation.

Throughout Ramadhan, Rasulullah (Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam) remained in "Ibaadah" and particularly, when the last ten days came along, he set no limit in exerting himself. He himself remained awake throughout the night and set the example of waking up his family for the same purpose. Aa'isha (Radhiallaahu anha) reports: "During the last ten days of Ramadhan, Rasulullah (Sallallaahu alayhi Wasallam) tied his "Lungi" (trouser-cloth) tightly about him, staying awake all night, and waking his family (for the purpose of "Ibaadah)". "Tied his "Lungi" tightly about him" could mean either that he set no limits in exerting himself in "Ibaadah"; or that he completely avoided all forms of sexual contact with his wives. read more

A man asked his father-in-law, "Many people praised you for a successful marriage. Could you please share with me your secret?" 

The father-in-law answered in a smile, "Never criticize your wife for her shortcomings or when she does something wrong. Always bear in mind that because of her shortcomings and weaknesses, she could not find a better husband than you."
