Tawaf

Tawaf is a sacred Islamic ritual involving circling the Kaaba, the cube-shaped building in Mecca, seven times in a counterclockwise direction. It symbolizes unity with God and the unity of the Muslim community worldwide. During Tawaf, pilgrims move smoothly around the Kaaba, maintaining a specific pattern, often while supplicating and reflecting. This act connects believers spiritually, reaffirming their devotion and submission to God. Tawaf is performed during Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages and holds deep religious significance as a physical expression of faith and obedience.
