TAWAF (CIRCUMAMBULATION) Then perform Tawaf around the Kaaba seven circuits (ashwat), kissing the Black Stone at the start of each circuit. Take small steps during your Tawaf. When you reach the door of the Kaaba, say: "Your beggar, Your needy servant, is at Your door. Grant him charity with Paradise. O Allah (swt), this House is Your House, this sanctuary is Your sanctuary, and this servant is Your servant. This is the station of the one seeking refuge, imploring Your protection from the Fire. So, free me, my parents, my family, my children, and my believing brothers from the Fire, O Generous and Noble One." When you reach the area opposite the Mizab al-Rahmah (the water spout), say: "O Allah (swt), free my neck from the Fire, expand my provision with what is lawful, and protect me from the evil of the corrupt among the Arabs and non-Arabs, and the corrupt among the jinn and humans." As you proceed, say: "O Allah (swt), I am impoverished before You. I am fearful of You and seek Your refuge. Do not change my name or alter my body."
