In this blog post, we will be focusing on Tawaf
As a leading provider of Umrah travel packages, it’s important for us at Supreme Air Travels to ensure that our clients are fully informed about the various rituals and practices involved in the journey. In this blog post, we will be focusing on Tawaf, one of the most important rites of the Umrah.
Tawaf refers to the ritual of circumambulating the Kaaba, the sacred structure located in the center of the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca. Muslims all around the world face the Kaaba during their daily prayers, and Tawaf is seen as a physical manifestation of this devotion and submission to God.
There are certain conditions that must be met in order to perform Tawaf correctly. These include:
The intention to perform Tawaf
Tawaf must be performed with the intention of seeking the pleasure of God and fulfilling the commandment of performing Tawaf.
Physical purity
It is important that the pilgrim is in a state of ritual purity (taharah) before performing Tawaf. This can be achieved through performing the ritual ablution (wudu).
The proper attire
Male pilgrims should wear the ihram, a simple, white, two-piece garment, while female pilgrims should dress modestly in loose-fitting clothing.
The correct order
Tawaf consists of seven circuits around the Kaaba, and it is important to start and end at the Black Stone (Hajar al-Aswad).
The correct speed
Pilgrims should maintain a moderate pace during Tawaf, neither rushing nor dawdling.
Recitation of specific prayers
During Tawaf, it is recommended to recite certain prayers and supplications, such as the Talbiyah and the takbir.
By following these conditions, you can be sure to perform Tawaf correctly and fulfill this important rite of the Umrah.
