Itikaf in Haramain Sharifain has started with the arrival of the last ten days of the holy month of Ramadan. Thousands of registered worshippers have already begun their spiritual retreat in the two holy mosques of Saudi Arabia.
According to reports, the formal start of Itikaf in Haramain Sharifain began on the 20th fast of Ramadan. More than 15,000 people had completed their registration earlier to take part in this important act of worship.
Special prayer activities are now taking place at Masjid al-Haram in Makkah and Masjid an-Nabawi in Madinah. Worshippers observing Itikaf are spending most of their time in prayers, Quran recitation, and remembrance of Allah.
Many pilgrims and Umrah visitors are also present in the two holy mosques. They are focusing on increased worship while searching for Laylat al-Qadr, the most blessed night of Ramadan.
Meanwhile, a large number of visitors has been seen in the Haramain Sharifain in recent days. This increase also comes after several international flights in the Middle East were cancelled due to regional tensions, which affected travel plans for many pilgrims.
Despite the travel disruptions, the atmosphere in the holy mosques remains deeply spiritual. Worshippers continue their prayers with hope of gaining blessings during the last ten nights of Ramadan.
