more meanings
الإكباب هو الإنكباب على الشيء أي الانصراف إليه
devotion to, devoting oneself to, dedication to, dedicating oneself to, engagement in, occupancy with, or pursuit of.
in your context, I guess it's the last two words "occupancy, and pursuit" you need. Because the word انكباب or إكباب is commonly used in those meanings in Arabic rather than the other words as devotion or dedication.
