In a much-awaited announcement, the General Authority for Care of the Two Holy Mosques has confirmed that Itikaf registration for the Grand Mosque in Makkah and the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah will begin on March 5.
Thousands of worshippers eager to partake in this sacred retreat can register online via the authority’s official website starting at 11 AM (local time), with slots available on a first-come, first-served basis, as reported by Saudi Gazette.
Itikaf, a deeply spiritual practice observed in the last ten days of Ramazan, involves dedicating oneself to worship in seclusion within a mosque. This year, it will commence on Ramazan 20 (March 20) and continue until the end of the holy month. Permits will be issued through an online system, adhering to specific conditions and guidelines.
With Ramazan beginning on March 1 in Saudi Arabia and March 2 in Pakistan, the holy mosques are set to host thousands of devoted worshippers seeking a profound spiritual experience. The doors to this sacred journey are open—will you answer the call?
