Tawwaaf e Hajj
Tawwaaf means circling around Baiet-Ul laah. If it is the time of prayer and one has not offered prayer, he should offer prayer first.
Then he should come towards Ka’bah-tul laah in such a way that Hajr Aswad (sacred stone) is on right side, make intention of Tawwaaf, the Arabic words are present in the published books, if one cannot read Arabic he/she may make intention in his own language i.e.
O’ Allaah Almighty, I make intention to complete seven circles around Your home, make it easier for me, and accept it from me (if you are doing for someone else then you may take his/her name).
This is the only worship in which during pray it is said “Allaah Almighty make it easier for me” we do not say so in any other worship.
We do not say that Allaah Kareem I am going to offer prayer or starting fast or giving up Zakat make it easier for me but in the Hajj and Umrah in each intention it is said that Allaah Almighty make it easier for me and accept it from me. Meaning by, we were not able to do so if we did not had the help of Allaah Almighty.
Reaching there and fulfilling all the rituals is only due to the blessings of Allaah Kareem. Before starting Tawwaf, men should make their right shoulder uncovered / naked i.e. pass the cloth sheet through his armpit, this is Sunnah of Hazrat Muhammad ﷺ which is known as Ramal as well as Iztibaa.
First three circles around the House of Allaah should be completed with small steps, if due to crowd one cannot do so, there is no restriction, seven circles in total are to be completed. Now a day’s, people keep talking over mobile and telling their dear ones that they have completed so many circles.
This is wrong, one is present in the house of Allaah, pay full attention towards Allaah Kareem but one is talking about worldly affairs what a strange behavior, May Allaah Kareem guide us. Some people keep busy in making pictures as there are cameras installed in almost all mobiles, people are busy in making pictures but do not pay attention that where they are and in front of Whom.
Raml: The ritual in which male pilgrims are required to walk briskly with their chests thrust forward and with their shoulders rolling slightly during the first three circuits
It denotes the act of placing [both ends of] sheet on the left shoulder passing under the right arm-pit before performing Tawaaf. Thus keeping the right shoulder bare.
