 ==Etymology==
-I'tikaf is derived from "'Akaf" (عکف) which mostly means adhering to, devoting to or dedicating to something as a sign of honoring. Derivatives form this word has been used in the [[Qur'an]] in this meaning. In spite of that, "'Akif" (عاکف) ([[Surah al-Hajj]] 25) meaning resident and "Ma'kuf" (معکوف) ([[Surah al-Fath]]: 25) meaning forbidden are two derivatives from the same root used in the Qur'an.
