A pilgrim circumambulates around the Kaaba seven times. This is known as Tawaf, and it is a mandatory part of the Hajj pilgrimage to Mecca in Islam. The Kaaba is a cubic structure located in the center of the Grand Mosque in Mecca and is considered the most sacred site in Islam. During Tawaf, pilgrims walk around the Kaaba in a counterclockwise direction, starting and ending at the corner of the Kaaba where the Black Stone is located. They recite prayers and supplications as they walk around the Kaaba, reflecting on the significance of the pilgrimage and their relationship with God. The seven circuits of Tawaf symbolize the unity of God and the unity of the Muslim community, as well as the Muslim's submission to God's will.
