The Holy Ka'ba is the secret home for mankind, a special

manifestation of Allah in His creation. The hearts of those


who pray from all parts of the earth face it. "Turn then Thy
face in the direction of the sacred Mosque: Wherever ye are,
turn your faces in that direction."
When you enter Makkah, enter with respect and reverence for this pure
religion and holy piece of land, acknowledging the bounty of Allah upon you.
He made you reach this place, for how many believers and how many
righteous people and beloved of Allah want to reach this place but Allah has
not granted them, and you have reached by the bounty of Allah despite your
insignificance and evilness.
When you begin (your tawaf), your left side should be towards
the tawaf. It is said that it is sunnah to begin all worship with the
right side except for the Ka'bah, it is sunnah to keep your left side
towards the Ka'bah. Some scholars have mentioned that the
wisdom behind it is, "So that your heart, which is the place of
Your Lord's glance, is nearer to the Ka'bah"
The Ka'abah is the House of Allah on the earth, and your heart is the
house of Allah inside you and the place of Allah's glance at you.
Feel the honour of the one who makes tawaf (circumbulates) round
His house. The purpose is not the body performing tawaf around the
stones but the heart performing tawaf around the world of the King,
The Most Forgiving, The Concealer. Occupy your state during tawaf
with remembrance and do not occupy your state while in tawaf with
backbiting and gossiping or talking about anyone. Infact the first
thing is that you should not occupy yourself during tawaf with
anything except for the remembrance of Allah, Majestic is He,
calling to Him and turning towards Allah Glory be to Him, The Most
High. Have a good opinion of all those around you in the tawaf, that
they are better than you.
When we start to make Tawaf around the Holy Ka'ba the start
behind the Hajr-al-aswad (the black stone) about which
Prophet upon him be Allah's peace and blessings. He said,
about it: “Wiping the black pillar and the pillar of Yamaani
makes the bad deeds fall”.
The Quran, hundreds of years ago, has narrated many scientific
facts before they were discovered by scientists. The scientific
miracles in the Quran prove that it is for every period of time
and every place.
1- The tawaf (circumbulation) around the Ka'ba by the pilgrims
once a year is similar to the revolving of the earth around the sun
once a year and the tawaf by the pilgrims around the Ka'ba seven
times resembles the seven starts moving around around the sun.

2. The tawaaf of the pilgrim around the Ka'ba seven times in the
movement of left to right resembles the movement of the
electrons seven times.
