Pilgrims who circumambulate the house of Allah enter a mosque in which the Ka’ba is located. They must begin circumambulating the Ka’ba from the same spot all monotheists throughout history agreed upon. Prophet Adam (PBUH), father of mankind, learned the rituals of Hajj
This passage recounts how Imam Jawad (PBUH) encouraged performing **Tawaf (circumambulation of the Ka‘aba)** on behalf of the Prophet (PBUH&HP) and his successors. He affirmed it is a noble act, showing love and loyalty to the Prophet’s household. Imam Jawad emphasized that such actions—done sincerely for God—are the best deeds.
During Hajj, Caliph Harun al-Rashid arrogantly performed rituals until **Imam Musa al-Kadhim (PBUH)** reminded him of equality before Allah. When questioned, the Imam brilliantly explained Islam’s core duties through symbolic numbers, astonishing Harun. Realizing his wisdom, Harun declared him the true descendant of the Prophet—the blessed fruit of Prophethood.
