In the name of Allah, Allah is the greatest. Turn to your right and start the first circuit of your Tawaf, ensuring the Kaaba is on your left. Proceed in an anti-clockwise direction and avoid walking through the Hijr Ismail. In the first three circuits, men should perform Raml , which is the practice of walking briskly, lifting the legs forcefully and sticking out the chest.
During your Tawaf, you may recite prayers and supplications of your choice. Duas are accepted during Tawaf so make the most of the occasion and remember Allah with sincerity and devotion. Imam Ibn Hibban V said:. Thus you should supplicate in any language and in any manner that you prefer. If you want to make Quranic and Prophetic supplications during your Tawaf, make an effort to memorise and learn the meanings of them.
O our Lord, grant us the good of this world, the good of the Hereafter, and save us from the punishment of the fire. Returning to Hajar al-Aswad marks the completion of one circuit. You will be performing Istilam eight times in total during the Tawaf; one before the start of the Tawaf and one at the end of each of the seven circuits.
The Tawaf should be completed in a continuous manner with no interruptions between circuits. However, if a congregational prayer is due to start, you must join the congregation and resume your Tawaf from the position that you stopped. The circuit need not be repeated. These rules also apply if you need to repeat your Wudhu. Proceed in the same manner until have you completed seven circuits.
Performing Istilam at the start of Tawaf and at the end is a highly emphasised Sunnah and performing Istilam on the other six occasions is desirable. If you are in a state Idtiba , cover your shoulder with your Ihram. Upon finishing the Tawaf, perform two Rakahs of Salah, preferably in a position where Maqam Ibrahim is between you and the Kaaba.
However, keep in mind that since Maqam Ibrahim is situated within the Mataf, there is often nowhere for pilgrims performing Tawaf to move, except around and almost over the top of those praying just beyond Maqam Ibrahim, resulting in a great deal of congestion.
While moving to the place where you intend to perform the two Rakahs, it is recommended to audibly recite the following:. And take the Maqam Ibrahim as a place of Salah.
Make sure you make plenty of Dua after completing the prayer. After completing Salah and making Dua, drink you fill of Zamzam water which is available around the Tawaf area and from various water fountains and dispensers in Masjid al-Haram.
The entrance to the old well of Zamzam has been covered to allow for more room to do Tawaf. When drinking the water, it is Mustahabb to should stand and face the Kaaba, say Bismillah, pause to take a breath three times, and say Alhamdulillah after finishing.
You can also rub it on your face and body. You may recite the following Dua after drinking the water:. O Allah, I ask You for knowledge that is beneficial, provision that is abundant and a cure from every illness. After you have finished drinking Zamzam water, you may proceed to the Multazam which is the area between Hajar al-Aswad and the door of the Kaaba. The Multazam is almost impossible to get to during Hajj season due to the large crowds that gather. However, it is accessible during other parts of the year.
If it possible to reach the Multazam, raise your hands above your head, cling to the wall and press your chest and cheeks against it. This will be the ninth time, following the eight times you performed Istilam during Tawaf. Proceed to the hill of Safa, which is located in line with the Hajar al-Aswad. There is a white sign which indicates where it is. Indeed, Safa and Marwa are from the Signs of Allah. Upon reaching the hill of Safa, face the direction of the Kaaba and raise your hands in supplication.
Your view of the Kaaba will be obscured so make an educated guess about its location and face this direction. Allah is the greatest; Allah is the greatest; Allah is the greatest, and to Allah belongs all praise. There is no deity except Allah, alone without a partner. To Him belongs the Dominion, and to Him belongs all praise. He gives life and death and He has power over everything. There is no deity except Allah alone. He fulfilled His promise, supported His slave and defeated the confederates alone.
After reciting this Dua, you may recite your own supplications. From Safa, make your way towards Marwa. Between Safa and Marwa, you will encounter two sets of green fluorescent lights approximately 50 metres apart, which indicate the distance that Hajar ran in order to get to higher ground.
These two markers are known as Milayn al-Akhdharayn the two green mileposts. Between these two lights, it is Sunnah for men to run at a medium pace while women should continue normally. Upon reaching the hill of Marwa, face the direction of the Kaaba, raise your hands in supplication and repeat the same supplications you recited at Safa.
Repeat this procedure until you have completed seven laps, at which point you should be at the hill of Marwa. In the name of Allah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah.

However one last problem to be rectified is that currently there is no Zam Zam available at Jeddah airport and currently due to operational issues they are not letting anyone on any airline take any Zam Zam with them! This is such a shame and shock if you do not know before hand! Hopefully this is rectified shortly! It must be!
