نَوَيۡتُ سُنَّتَ الۡاِعۡتِكَافِ

I make intention of Sunna itikāf.

Dear Islamic brothers! Whenever you enter the mosque, remember to make the intention of iꜤtikāf. As long as you remain in the masjid, you will continue to earn the reward of iꜤtikāf. Keep in mind that normally in a masjid, it is not permissible according to sharia for one to eat, drink, sleep, have suḥūr, ifṭār, or even drink Zamzam water or water upon which prayers have been recited. Yet, if you make the intention of iꜤtikāf, all these activities become permissible by extension. The intention of iꜤtikāf should not solely be for eating, drinking, or sleeping, but instead to please Allah Almighty.
As mentioned in Fatāwā Shāmī:

If someone wishes to eat, drink, or sleep in the masjid, they should make intention of iꜤtikāf, engage in the remembrance of Allah Almighty for a while, and then do as they wish (i.e., eat, drink, or sleep).
