Itikaf 2025 begins in Pakistan today – Mosques finalize preparations and registration

As the last ten days of Ramadan 2025 begin, Muslims across Pakistan prepare for Itikaf, a time of deep worship and reflection. Like every year, millions of worshippers in cities such as Karachi, Lahore, and Islamabad will begin Itikaf after Asr prayer on Friday, the 20th of Ramadan.

This spiritual retreat will end when the Shawwal moon is sighted, marking the conclusion of Ramadan and the arrival of Eid-ul-Fitr 2025.

Mosques Ready for Itikaf

Mosques throughout the country have completed all necessary arrangements for Itikaf, including registration and accommodations. Special care has been taken to provide Sehri and Iftar for those staying in the mosques, ensuring a smooth and peaceful experience for all participants.

Activities During Itikaf

Worshippers observing Itikaf 2025 in Pakistan will focus on:

• Reciting the Holy Quran
• Offering Tahajjud (night prayers)
• Praying Nafl (voluntary prayers)
• Making dua for Laylatul Qadr 2025
• Praying for Pakistan’s peace and development

The last ten nights of Ramadan are spiritually significant, as Muslims seek Laylatul Qadr, a night believed to bring immense blessings and mercy.

Itikaf for Women

While men observe Itikaf in mosques, many women in Pakistan will perform it at home, dedicating their time to worship, Quran recitation, and remembrance of Allah.

As Ramadan 2025 enters its final phase, Itikaf continues to be a cherished tradition in Pakistan. It offers a chance for Muslims to strengthen their faith, seek forgiveness, and pray for a better future for themselves and the country.
