YOGYAKARTA - Itikaf in the mosque is a very special moment for Muslims, especially in the month of Ramadan. Not only silence, but do you know what you do when it's an itikaf in a mosque?
This article will discuss in-depth the recommended activities during itikaf, as well as how to prepare to undergo this meaningful worship.
Reporting from the NU Online page, itikaf means staying in the mosque with the main aim of worshiping Allah SWT, especially through the practices that are commonly carried out in the house of worship.
To increase the value of worship, a person can expand his intentions, such as visiting and respecting mosques as a holy place, doing remembrance and getting closer to the Creator.
In addition, Muslims can also expect His grace and pleasure, by introspecting themselves, remembering the afterlife, listening to lectures and religious knowledge, interacting with pious people, and keeping away from anything that can forget the afterlife.
Itikaf can be carried out at any time, including during times prohibited from praying. The original law is sunnah, but it can become mandatory if offered.
On the other hand, itikaf can be forbidden if it is done by a wife or slave without permission, and chaotic if it is done by women who have the potential to cause slander, even with permission.

Meanwhile, carrying out itikaf on the last ten nights of Ramadan month was prioritized over other times, in the hope of achieving the virtue of Lailatul Qadar, whose exact time is kept secret by Allah.
Therefore, Muslims are advised to always fill the nights of Ramadan with various worships, both mandatory and sunnah, so as not to miss these valuable opportunities.
Rukun itikaf consists of four elements, namely: (1) intention, (2) stay in the mosque at least during tumaninah during prayer, (3) the mosque as a place of implementation, and (4) people who carry out itikaf.
The requirements for people with disabilities are Islam, common sense, and the holy state of large hadas. In other words, it is invalid if done by people who do not meet these requirements. Then there are nine conditions that can cancel i'tikaf:
If one of the nine things happens to an i'tikaf person, then the i'tikaf is canceled. If the i'tikaf is bound by a time that must be sequential, then he must start i'tikaf from scratch again.
Meskipun demikian, i'tikaf yang sudah dilakukan tetap mendapatkan kebayar, selama pengundurannya bukan karena mufi.
If i'tikaf is bound by a time that doesn't have to be sequential, then the canceled i'tikaf time is not counted. If you wish to proceed, it must renew its intention and combine it with the previous i'tikaf.
Then if the i'tikaf is absolute (not bound by time), then the cancellation only breaks i'tikaf's continuity. He could not continue or update i'tikaf beforehand. However, the i'tikaf that had been done remained valid and stand alone.
