700 faithful to observe Itikaf at Faisal Masjid      

ISLAMABAD: Under the supervision of Dawah Academy of International Islamic University, Islamabad (IIUI), some 700 people would start observing Itikaf at Faisal Mosque on Tuesday.

Earlier in May, Dawah Academy had sought applications for Itikaf this year, a press release said.

All applicants were asked to come with their luggage. They were given special identity cards and were shown the place set aside for them for Itikaf.

In addition to lectures, arrangements for Qiyamul Layl had also been made BY IIUI, which other people can also attend.

Itikaf is observed in the last 10 days of Ramadan where worshipers pray in secluded sections.
