I'tikaf is a spiritual retreat during Ramadan, where one disconnects from daily routines to focus on worship and personal reflection, as described by Adam Abu Suhaib.

Adam Abu Suhaib admits that disconnecting from worldly activities was a challenge initially.

I maintain this practice yearly, and my workplace supports me by granting and accommodating my leave requirements each Ramadan.

Adam AbuSuhaib

After I'tikaf, Adam realized that not everything is essential at all times, which has helped him become a more disciplined and mindful person.

He praises the excellent I'tikaf arrangements in major mosques and encourages Muslims in regional areas to embrace it for personal growth and discipline.
