Method Of Tawaf And Why It Is So Important

What is Tawaf:

                          Tawaf is one of the important rituals of the pilgrimage and Umrah without this Hajj and Umrah cannot be completed. Tawaf means to walk around the Kabah seven times. It starts from Black Stone about on yard before of it which is easy to identify and remember. Muslims brothers going for hajj and Umrah with cheapest Umrah packages they must have knowledge about tawaf as well.


Method Of Tawaf:

                              The tawaf is done in an anti-clockwise direction which is from left to right side, with each time a full circle finished around the Kabah and when a pilgrim is back at the Black Stone, or parallel with it. Commonly a pilgrim does the tawaf three times for his pilgrimage, and one time for the Umrah. In addition, the tawaf might be offered an act of show love. But in the end of the day, it isn't important that a man should go on a journey or  Umrah with a specific goal to just do the tawaf. The welcome way in Baitullah is to do tawaf. Thus, it is necessary to know the requirements and the method of the tawaf.

•    The first requirement of do the tawaf is to purification. In the religious sense it is required for a Muslim to purify himself/herself before doing the tawaf. A Muslim make sure that he/she removed all kind of impurity from its body, from its clothes that he/she is wearing and purify itself completely. For that matter he/she should perform wudu.
•    For Pilgrimage or for Umrah you should wear the Ihram which is important and necessary and then do the tawaf. It is important that you should cover your body parts when you offer a prayer and just like that you should complete your body parts while you are doing the tawaf.
•    The tawaf must be consist of seven full rounds or circles around the Kabah and you must walk anti-clockwise so that Kabah should always to your left and it is not valid if you do the tawaf from the opposite direction.
•    It is also important that you do the tawaf from the outside of the Kabah. The semi-circle area which is known as Hijr e Ismael is also considered as the part of Kabah and if you go through it then your tawaf will not be valid.

Importance:

                   The reason that tawaf is so important that it is one of the rituals of pilgrimage or Umrah. Tawaf is one of the important pillars of  Hajj and Umrah. Without a pillar a building cannot stand like that without Tawaf Hajj or Umrah cannot be completed.  If you are going for Umrah in October or Umrah in November or anytime then you must have information how to do tawaf and what is its importance.
