WHY TAWAF IS DONE IN AN ANTICLOCKWISE DIRECTION?

Tawaf or circumambulation is one of the Islamic rituals where Muslims walk around the 'Kaaba' in Mecca during Hajj or Umrah. They move together as one in a circular direction, precisely in an anticlockwise direction. So, why is it done in this way? 

                             

Modern Science has proved many things that confirm the importance of Tawaf around the Kaaba in an anticlockwise direction.

1. The circulation of blood begins to flow in an anti-clockwise direction.
2. The electrons of an atom revolve around its nucleus in the same manner as making Tawaaf, in an anti-clockwise direction.
3. The moon revolves around the earth in an anti-clockwise direction.
4. The Earth rotates around its own axis in an anti-clockwise direction.
5. The Earth revolves around the sun in an anti-clockwise direction.
6. The planets of the solar system revolve around the sun in an anti-clockwise direction.
7. The sun along with its whole solar system orbit in the galaxy in an anti-clockwise direction.
8. All the galaxies orbit in the space in an anti-clockwise direction.

That is: when we revolve around the Kaaba we are orbiting in the same direction as the whole universe. Worshipping Allah(SWT) in one direction, praising Allah(SWT) in one direction and all the creations of Allah(SWT) from the tiniest particles, to the largest galaxies, along with the human race unite in the praise of Allah(SWT).

When we move around the Kaaba, we are traveling in the land traveled by all Prophets of Allah(SWT) from the Prophet Adam(AS) to Prophet Mohammad(SAW).

The Kaaba in Mecca is never free from circumambulation. "Know that the world has come to an end when no soul will ambulate the Holy Kaaba."
