Majesty and Greatness of Hasanayn Karimayn رَضِىَ اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰي عَنۡهُمَا

نَوَيۡتُ سُنَّتَ الۡاِعۡتِكَافِ

Translation: I have made the intention of Sunnah I’tikaf.

Whenever you enter a Masjid, upon remembering, make the intention of Nafl I’tikaf because as long as you stay in the Masjid you will keep obtaining the reward of Nafl (supererogatory) I’tikaf, and eating, drinking and sleeping will also become permissible for you in the Masjid.

Excellence of reciting Salat-‘Alan-Nabi صَلَّی اللّٰہ تعالٰی علیہ واٰلہٖ وسلَّم

The Beloved and Blessed Prophet صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم said: (Sayyiduna) Jibra`eel (عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام) came to him stating humbly that Allah (عَزَّوَجَلَّ) said: ‘O Muhammad (صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم)! Are you not pleased that when anyone from your Ummah sends one Salam, I send Salams ten times upon him.

(Sunan Nasaai, pp. 222, Hadees 1292)
