Tawaf is one of the most important acts of worship during Hajj and Umrah. During Tawaf, pilgrims walk around the Holy Kaaba seven times in an anti-clockwise direction as an act of obedience, love, and devotion to Allah.

This beautiful ritual follows the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (???) and symbolizes the unity of Muslims from around the world. Regardless of nationality, language, or background, millions of believers worship together around one sacred center???the Kaaba in Masjid Al-Haram, Makkah.

Tawaf also reminds Muslims to keep Allah at the center of their lives, showing complete faith, humility, and submission to Him.

Every adult Muslim who is physically fit and financially capable can perform Hajj once in their lifetime.

Tawaf is an important act of worship in Hajj and Umrah, where pilgrims walk around the Holy Kaaba in Masjid Al-Haram, Makkah, seven times in an anti-clockwise direction. It is a beautiful way to express love, devotion, and obedience to Allah.

If a person is physically unable to perform Tawaf due to illness, disability, or old age, they may perform it with assistance, such as using a wheelchair if possible. However, Tawaf cannot be performed independently on behalf of another living person. If Tawaf is part of a valid Hajj or Umrah performed on behalf of someone who has passed away or is permanently unable to perform the pilgrimage, it is included within that Hajj or Umrah.

The Prophet Muhammad (???) said that whoever performs Tawaf around the Kaaba seven times and offers two Rak'ahs of prayer afterward receives a great reward. Every step brings blessings, sins are forgiven, and the person's rank is raised by Allah.
