TAWAF ON WHEEL CHAIR

Tawaf is one of the Islamic rituals of Pilgrimage. During the Hajj and Umrah in Holy city Makkah, Muslims are to circumbulate the Kaaba (the most sacred site in Islam) seven times, in a counterclockwise direction. The circling is to demonstrate the unity of the believers in the worship of the One God, as thousands of Pilgrims move in harmony together around the Kaaba, while praying to the Almighty. The picture shows disabled devotees performing Tawaf on wheel chair in dedicated elevated walkway with the help of an attendant.
