It is preferable to remain closer to the Holy Ka'bah during Ṭawāf but not to such an extent that your cloth or body touches the bottom of the exterior wall of the Holy Ka'bah. If Raml cannot be performed in case of remaining closer to the Holy Ka'bah due to crowd, remaining farther is better. During Ṭawāf, it is preferable for Islamic sisters to remain some distance away from the Holy Ka'bah. During the first round, recite the following Du'ā after reciting Ṣalāt-'Alan-Nabī.
Du'ā
of first round
سُبْحٰنَ اللّٰہِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰہِ وَ لَآ اِلٰہَ اِلَّا
اللّٰہُ وَاللّٰہُ اَکْبَرُ
وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَ لَا قُوَّۃَ اِلَّا بِاللّٰہِ الْعَلِیِّ الْعَظِیْمِ وَ
الصَّلٰوۃُ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلٰی رَسُوْلِ اللّٰہِ صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی
عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ اَللّٰہُمَّ اِیْمَانًا بِکَ وَ تَصْدِیْقًا
بِکِتَابِکَ وَ وَفَآءً بِعَہْدِکَ وَ اتِّبَاعًا لِسُنَّۃِ نَبِیِّکَ وَ
حَبِیْبِکَ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّی اللّٰہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ اَللّٰہُمَّ
اِنِّیْ اَسْئَلُکَ الْعَفْوَ وَ الْعَافِیَۃَ وَ الْمُعَافَاۃَ الدَّآئِمَۃَ فِی
الدِّیْنِ وَالدُّنْیَا وَالْاٰخِرَۃِ وَالْفَوْزَ بِالْجَنَّۃِ وَ النَّجَاۃَ
مِنَ النَّارِ
Translation:
Allah ﷻ
is pure (from all shortcomings). All glorifications are for Allah ﷻ and no one is worthy of worship except
Allah ﷻ. And Allah ﷻ
is the Greatest. And the power (to refrain from sins) and the strength (to
incline towards worship) is (bestowed) by Allah ﷻ
Who is dignified and glorified. May blessings and salutations of Allah ﷻ be upon Rasūl of Allah ﷻ. Yā Allah ﷻ! I believe in You and
testify Your commandments and affirm the oath made with You following the
Sunnah of Your Beloved Prophet Muhammad ﷺ
(I have started Ṭawāf). Yā Allah ﷻ!
I beg forgiveness from You (for my sins) and safety (from every affliction) and
everlasting security (from every trouble) in our religion and in the world and
in the Hereafter, and the gaining of Paradise and deliverance from the fire of
Hell.
Complete this Du'ā before reaching
Rukn Yamānī. Now touch Rukn Yamānī (for acquiring blessings) with both hands or
with right hand provided that there is no risk of trouble for you and for
others due to crowd. Do not touch with left hand only. If you get a chance,
kiss Rukn Yamānī. If you do not get the chance of kissing or touching it, you
are not required to kiss the hands having pointed them to Rukn Yamānī. (As
people apply a lot of fragrance to Rukn Yamānī these days, those in the state
of Iḥrām should take care before they touch or kiss Rukn Yamānī.)
Now after completing the Ṭawāf of
three corners of the Holy Ka'bah, you are approaching the fourth sacred corner
Rukn Aswad. The wall between Rukn Yamānī and Rukn Aswad is called Mustajāb.
Here 70,000 angels are deputed to say Āmīn for Du'ā. Ask whatever you desire in
your mother tongue, for yourself as well as for all Muslims, or recite
Ṣalāt-'Alan-Nabī once on behalf of the entire Ummah – including me, a sinful
devotee of Madīnah – recite this Quranic Du'ā as well:
رَبَّنَآ اٰتِنَا فِی الدُّنْیَا حَسَنَۃً وَّ فِی الْاٰخِرَۃِ
حَسَنَۃً وَّ قِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ
Yā Allah ﷻ!
Bless me with goodness in this world and goodness in the Hereafter and save me
from the torment of Hell.
[Kanz-ul-Īmān (Translation of Quran)]
Now you have reached Ḥajar-ul-Aswad,
completing the first round. Here people are seen waving their hands from far
away, imitating each other as they pass. Doing so is not a Sunnah. As described
earlier, turn towards Ḥajar-ul-Aswad standing in the direction of the green
tube light. There is no need to make intention as it has already been made. To
start the second round, raise both hands up to ears and recite this Du'ā:
بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰہِ وَ اللّٰہُ اَکْبَرُ وَ
الصَّلٰوۃُ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلٰی رَسُوْلِ اللّٰہِ
Perform Istilām, i.e. if there is an
opportunity, kiss Ḥajar-ul-Aswad, otherwise kiss the hands having signalled to
it with them. Now keeping face towards the Holy Ka'bah, move a little towards
your right. As soon as Ḥajar-ul-Aswad is not in front of you, start Ṭawāf such
that the Holy Ka'bah is on your left side. Reciting Ṣalāt-'Alan-Nabī, recite
Du'ā of the second round.
Du'ā
of second round
اَللّٰہُمَّ اِنَّ ہٰذَا الْبَیْتَ بَیْتُکَ وَ الْحَرَمَ حَرَمُکَ
وَ الْاَمْنَ اَمْنُکَ وَ الْعَبْدَ عَبْدُکَ وَ اَنَا عَبْدُکَ وَابْنُ عَبْدِکَ
وَ ہٰذَا مَقَامُ الْعَآئِذِیْنَ بِکَ مِنَ النَّارِ فَحَرِّمْ لُحُوْمَنَا وَ
بَشَرَتَنَا عَلَی النَّارِ اَللّٰہُمَّ حَبِّبْ اِلَیْنَا الْاِیْمَانَ وَ
زَیِّنْہُ فِیْ قُلُوْبِنَا وَ کَرِّہْ اِلَیْنَا الْکُفْرَ وَ الْفُسُوْقَ وَ
الْعِصْیَانَ وَ اجْعَلْنَا مِنَ الرَّاشِدِیْنَ اَللّٰہُمَّ قِنِیْ عَذَابَکَ
یَوْمَ تَبْعَثُ عِبَادَکَ اَللّٰہُمَّ ارْزُقْنِی الْجَنَّۃَ بِغَیْرِ حِسَابٍ
Translation:
Yā Allah ﷻ!
No doubt, this House is Your House, this Ḥaram is Your Ḥaram, the peace and
security (here) has been bestowed by You. And every servant is Your servant and
I am also Your servant and I am a son of Your servant. This is the place to beg
protection against the fire of Hell from You. So make our flesh and skin Ḥarām
for the fire of Hell. Yā Allah ﷻ! Bless us with utmost
devotion to (Islamic) faith and inculcate fondness for it in our hearts. And
make infidelity, sin and transgression a displeasing thing for us and include
us among those who are on the True Path. Yā Allah ﷻ!
Save us from torment on the day when You will resurrect Your servants and Yā
Allah ﷻ! Bestow upon me Paradise without
accountability.
Finish this Du'ā before reaching
Rukn Yamānī. If you get a chance, kiss it (i.e. Rukn Yamānī), and move towards
Ḥajar-ul-Aswad reciting Ṣalāt-'Alan-Nabī as well as this Quranic Du'ā:
رَبَّنَآ اٰتِنَا فِی الدُّنْیَا حَسَنَۃً وَّ فِی الْاٰخِرَۃِ
حَسَنَۃً وَّ قِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ
Yā Allah ﷻ!
Bless me with goodness in this world and goodness in the Hereafter and save me
from the torment of Hell.
[Kanz-ul-Īmān (Translation of Quran)]
Look! You have again approached
Ḥajar-ul-Aswad. Now your second round has also completed. Then, like before,
recite the following Du'ā raising both hands up to ears:
بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ وَ الْحَمْدُ لِلّٰہِ وَ اللّٰہُ اَکْبَرُ وَ
الصَّلٰوۃُ وَ السَّلَامُ عَلٰی رَسُوْلِ اللّٰہِ
Then, perform Istilām of
Ḥajar-ul-Aswad and complete the third round like previous ones. Reciting
Ṣalāt-'Alan-Nabī recite the following Du'ā:
Du'ā
of third round
اَللّٰہُمَّ اِنِّیْ اَعُوْذُ بِکَ مِنَ الشَّکِّ وَ الشِّرْکِ وَ
النِّفَاقِ وَ الشِّقَاقِ وَ سُوْٓءِ الْاَخْلَاقِ وَ سُوْٓءِ الْمَنْظَرِ وَ
الْمُنْقَلَبِ فِی الْمَالِ وَ الْاَہْلِ وَالْوَلَدِ اَللّٰہُمَّ اِنِّیْ
اَسْئَلُکَ رِضَاکَ وَالْجَنَّۃَ وَ اَعُوْذُبِکَ مِنْ سَخَطِکَ وَالنَّارِ
اَللّٰہُمَّ اِنِّیْ اَعُوْذُ بِکَ مِنْ فِتْنَۃِ الْقَبْرِ وَ اَعُوْذُبِکَ مِنْ
فِتْنَۃِ الْمَحْیَا وَ الْمَمَاتِ
Translation:
Yā Allah ﷻ!
I seek Your refuge from doubting (in Your commandments) and from polytheism (in
Your Being or in Your Attributes), and from discord and hypocrisy, from bad
manners, and from bad condition and from doom of wealth and family. Yā Allah ﷻ! I beg for Your pleasure and Paradise, and
I seek Your refuge from Your wrath and from Hell. Yā Allah ﷻ! I seek Your refuge from the calamity of the grave and seek Your
refuge from every affliction of life and death.
Finish this Du'ā before reaching
Rukn Yamānī. If possible, kiss it. Otherwise only touch it (Rukn Yamānī) and
move towards Ḥajar-ul-Aswad reciting Ṣalāt-'Alan-Nabī and this Quranic Du'ā:
رَبَّنَآ اٰتِنَا فِی الدُّنْیَا حَسَنَۃً وَّ فِی الْاٰخِرَۃِ
حَسَنَۃً وَّ قِنَا عَذَابَ النَّارِ
Yā Allah ﷻ!
Bless me with goodness in this world and goodness in the Hereafter and save me
from the torment of Hell.
[Kanz-ul-Īmān (Translation of Quran)]
