What Is the Meaning of Iʿtikāf?

 Most of i’tikāf consists of the persistent recitation of the Qur’an (without disturbing others if doing so loudly) and numerous du’a, whether in seeking forgiveness from Allah or otherwise, though other people may also study numerous hadith. Some who take part try to complete an entire reading of the Qur’an in the duration they have allotted for themselves.
