It used to be a tension to persuade someone to do A'itikaaf in our local mosques. Normally some simple person would be trapped. This year it looked a bit smooth, with multiple people doing it. Also got a fleeting opportunity to visit Hazrat Haji Rafiq Ahmed Sahab (DB) in A'itikaaf in Dadri, UP, very near to Delhi. This year Hazrat Maulana Iftakhar-ul-Hasan Sahab Kandjalwi (DB) asked ten of his senior Khulafa to start A'itikaaf in their respective areas and Hajiji is one one them. This locality is Gurjar area but the A'itikaaf was very exciting and Lord Most High willing this sinner might join the crowd next year. Crowd is expected to surge.
