The Prophet's Observance of I'tikaf

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) used to observe I'tikaf every year during Ramadan for a certain amount of days, and in the year he passed away, he observed it for twenty days.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet used to observe I'tikaf every year (during Ramadan) for ten days; in the year in which he passed away, he observed I'tikaf for twenty days. Al-Bukhari.

QUICK LESSONS:
Dedicate oneself to prayer & worshipping God .

EXPLANATIONS:
Every year during the month of Ramadan, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) would observe a practice called i’tikāf. This is where one secludes themselves from worldly activities and focuses on prayer and worshiping God. In the last year of his life, he observed this practice for twenty days instead of ten. This shows us how important it was to him to dedicate himself to prayer and worshiping God even in his last moments on earth. It also teaches us that we should strive to make our faith stronger as we approach our own end times by dedicating more time towards prayer and worshiping God.
