WHY DO MUSLIMS ENCIRCLE KABA 7 TIMES AT HAJ?
by wada pav on Mar 19, 2007 08:48 PM
Encircling the Kaba stone was a pre-islamic practice. Kaba was the spiritual centre of the pre-islamic quresh tribe
it housed their idols .One of the idols belonged to a god called
'Allah' , others were godesses 'Al-Lat ' and 'Al-Ruza'
They used to encircle it 7 times, just like hindus encircle their temples.
Islam inherits many such idol worshipping practices.
On haj ,
1.they wear white cloths/dhoti like bramhins, 2.take bath (which is unique),
3.shave their heads,and
4.go around the kaba 7 times.
