Tawaaf The Moving Around The Ka'bah The Circumambulation
Tawaaf literally
means to make a circuit of or move
around anything. Islamically, Tawaaf
means walking around the Ka'bah seven
times starting from the corner of the
Black Stone, al-Hajar al-Aswad, and
ending there. The Ka'bah should be kept
to your left as you circle it moving
counterclockwise. If one is in doubt
about the number of circuits completed,
he should choose the lowest number that
he is sure about and continue from that
point.
For
pilgrims intending 'Umrah, the Tawaaf
made upon entering Makkah is known as
Tawaaf al-'Umrah.
It
is a basic rite of 'Umrah which, if
deleted, renders the 'Umrah null and
void. However, those performing Hajj
Ifraad count this Tawaaf as Tawaaf al-Qudoom
(literally: arrival circuits). For those
doing Hajj Qiraan or Hajj Tamattu', this
Tawaaf of 'Umrah takes the place of
Tawaaf al-Qudoom. The pilgrim is
recommended to say the following Du'aa
while stepping with his or her right
foot into al-Masjid al-Haraam, as well
as all Masjids.
اللهم
افتح
لي
أبواب
رحمتك
Allahumma iftah lee abwaaba rahmatik.
(Oh Allah! Open the doors of Your mercy
for me.)
There are no authentic special Du'aas to
be said on entering al-Masjid al-Haraam.
