Why do Muslims perform circumbulation around the Ka'bah?
Why do Muslims perform Tawaf around the Ka’bah? What is the significance of going around this Old House? The answer to this question must start with a look at who we are? Why are we here? And finally, the answer to all the previous questions points toward where we are going from here.
There are physical laws in this universe that we are continuously discovering. Among them is the law of revolution, which applies both to celestial bodies and to atoms and cells. They all revolve around a center and their revolution is usually counterclockwise.
Everything in the universe must follow physical laws except human beings who are created with consciousness and with free will. The Earth has no choice but to follow its orbit around the sun, and our solar system has no choice but to follow its orbit around the center of the galaxy. In following these physical laws they are obeying their Creator. Only human beings have a conscious choice. They are aware of their ability to choose and consequently, they can obey or disobey. When we Muslims orbit the Ka’bah, we surrender our will to our Creator and willingly become like the other celestial bodies of the universe orbiting in harmony His Old House. The Ka’bah is the first house ever built for the sole purpose of worshipping God, our Creator. It is thought to have been built originally by Adam. It was later rebuilt by Abraham and his son Ishmael long before the Temple in Jerusalem was built by Salomon.
People keep coming from the four corners of the earth to surrender themselves to their creator and orbit around the Ka’bah seven times in order to fulfill the essence of Islam (surrendering your will to God’s will).
So, who are we? We are human beings created by God. We are here to go through a journey that will not last for long and while we are here we face situations that require us to make choices. We are responsible for the choices we make and we will answer for them to our Creator. So our final destination from here is toward the One that created us in the first place and is able to gather us again to a Day of Judgment.
These assumptions are from the eternal message of God to us found in the Torah given to Moses, the Gospel given to Jesus Christ, and the Qur’an given to Mohammad.
