WHY DO MUSLIMS ENCIRCLE KABA 7 TIMES AT HAJ?
by wada pav on Mar 19, 2007 08:48 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

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.

Dr Zakir Naik logic is hilarious hahahaha.. 2 plus 2 equals 4 therefore you can't have a temple in Saudi Arabia.
