As Salaamu Alaikum!
The time of Hajj has come and several Muslims across the globe are making preparations to go to the Sacred House and many have already reached and doing the Tawaaf of the Holy Kaabah in large numbers. Masha Allah!
We are seeing it on Television and reading about it in the papers or watching the recordings of people doing their Tawaaf in anticlockwise direction, but do you know why it is done Anti clockwise? Have you wondered why not clockwise? Suppose, a non muslim or your child suddenly asks you this question - do you know what answer to give? Hmm, we must be prepared ! Well, we will give you this answer today -
Modern Science has proved many things that confirms the importance of Tawaaf around the Ka’aba “Anticlockwise.”
1) The Blood inside the human body begins its circulation “Anticlockwise”
2) The electrons of an atom revolve around its nucleus in the same manner as making Tawaf, in an anti-clockwise direction. Considering the globe as a whole, you will notice that:
3) That the moon revolves around the earth anti- clockwise.
4) The earth rotates around its own axis in an anti- clockwise direction.
5) The earth revolves around the sun in an anti- clockwise direction.
6) The planets of the Solar system revolve around the sun in an anti-clockwise direction.
7) The Sun along with its whole Solar system orbit in the galaxy in an anti-clockwise direction.
8) All the galaxies orbit in the space in an anti-clockwise direction.
That is: When we revolve around the Ka’aba we are orbiting in the same direction as the whole universe.
Worshipping Allah in one direction.
Praising Allah in one direction.
And all the creations of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala from the tiniest particles, to the largest galaxies, along with the human race unite in praise of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta’ala. When we tour around the Ka’aba, we are travelling in the land travelled by all the prophets of Allah from the prophet Adam (PBUH) to the prophet Mohamed (Sallallahu Alaihi Wassallam) The Ka’aba in Makkah is never free from circumbulators. Subhan Allah!!
With Best Wishes
