Bismillah
Aspects of cultivation connected to I’tikaaf:
* It helps one apply the understanding of worship as a comprehensive concept.
* The great effort one exerts so that when one reaches the night of Al-Qadr he would be upon obedience.
* Gets one used to staying in the Masjid.
* Helps one stop many bad habits.
* Trains one to be patient.
* Gives tranquility to the soul.
* Trains one to read the Qur’aan completely.
* Gives one the chance to sincerely repent.
* Trains one to pray Qiyaam (the optional night prayer).
* Prepares one to always busy themselves with useful matters.
* Purifies the soul.
* Reforms the heart and making the pleasure of Allaah one’s main concern.

Mistakes of people during I’tikaaf:
* Sleeping too much during the day and staying up at night without performing any act of obedience.
* Frequently leaving the Masjid without a need.
* Excessively using the phone.
* Exaggerating in the food they bring to I’tikaaf.
* Frequent long visits to other people in I’tikaaf. This also applies to those from outside coming to visit people in I’tikaaf.
* Indulging it useless talk.
* Not going early to perform Wudhoo’ (to perform the prayers).
* Mistakenly believing that I’tikaaf is to stay in the Masjid but that there is no need to perform lots of optional acts of worship.
* Mistakenly believing that cleansing oneself and perfuming contradicts the objective of I’tikaaf.
* Some people go in I’tikaaf while their families need them, or while the father does not agree to them going to I’tikaaf for reasonable excuses; such people have performed a recommended act and deserted an obligation and must not perform I’tikaaf.

Imaam Ahmad held the opinion that it is disliked for the person to mix with people during I’tikaaf even if it is to teach them or listen to them recite the Qur’aan (and correct their recitation). It is better for him to seclude himself and supplicate to his Lord.

The Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, would set up something which is similar to a tent in the Masjid and would sit in it other than the times of prayer so that he could be in total and practical seclusion in the Masjid.

'Amr ibn Maymoon said: "I met the companions of the Messenger, sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam, and they would say: 'Mosques are the houses of Allaah, and it is mandatory upon Allaah to honor the guest who visits Him therein.'" (Tafseer At-Tabari)
