Guideline to Perform Itikaf
Here are a set of guidelines that you should follow while performing Itikaf in Masjid al-Haram in Makkah.
Essential Packing Items
5 sets of clothes are enough since the Itikaf will be lasting for 9 to 10 days. For the ladies, it is best to carry an extra hijab and abaya with you.
- Pack your hand wipes, oud, deodorant, tissue, comb, extra pair of glasses, toothbrush, and toothpaste.
- Charger for your cell phone but be sure not to be on your phone during Itikaf.
- Prayer mat
- Sleeping equipment such as blankets, inflatable pillows, etc.
It is best to have a sleeping bag that can be stuffed with all your stuff for safety in order to be carried easily to a prayer spot.
Where to eat?
Iftar will not be a problem as it is served. If you are outside, the management distributes small Iftar packs containing dates, juice, water, croissants, etc., which will last you until the end of Taraweeh.
For suhoor and dinner, you can go to the Hilton Towers, located right across from you. There are some fast-food outlets where you can purchase your food.
How to survive crowds?
- On Fridays, do not leave the mosque under any circumstances before the Friday prayers.
- Moreover, on the 29th night, during the Khatamul Quran or the finishing of the Quran, you will not be allowed to enter the mosque if you leave for any reason whatsoever.
