Like other parts of the world, thousands of Muslim worshippers have started preparation to observe Aitikaf from the 20th Ramzan-ul-Mubarak, the last 10 days of the holy month in and around Hyderabad.
During the period of Aitikaf, when the worshippers remain alone with their creator, they come to understand the concept of worship in the most comprehensive sense and they have to be enslaved to Allah Almighty every hour of the day both in his public and his private life. The district administration of Hyderabad has taken adequate security measures for the last 10 days of Ramazan to check any untoward incident.
Heavy contingents of police have been deployed around mosques for the security of faithful. Special security plan has also been chalked out for Tarawih, Jumat-ul-Wida and 27th of Ramazan.
