This is a ritual worship as part of Hajj and Omra. It is also Sunna to do it after or before praying. Kaaba is most sacred building for Muslims and was raised up by the Prophet Abraham (Ibrahim) and his son prophet Ismael (peace be upon them).
They walk around the Kaaba 7 times.
Muslims consider the Kaaba was originally built by Abraham and Ishmael. When Muslims pray, they turn toward the Kaaba. And during the hajj, pilgrims walk counterclockwise around it seven times.
Hajj is the fifth pillar in Islam, it is were Muslims walk around the Kaaba(a holy building) seven times.
The Qiblah, for any point of reference on the Earth, is the direction of the Kaaba. In Muslim religious practice, supplicants must face this direction in prayer. Muslims do not worship the Kaaba or its contents; the Kaaba is simply a focal point for prayer. If someone is inside the Kaaba, they are allowed to pray facing any direction. In ancient times, Muslims traveling abroad used an astrolabe to find the Qiblah. Peace.
They run or walk around the shrine 7 times
Seven times, starting from Black stone, anti-clockwise, towards Hateem.
What you're referring to [what I'm guessing you're referring to anyway] is the Kabah. Kabah is symbolised as the House of God. Muslims don't worship the 'black box'. They pray towards the direction of Kabah [if it makes sense?]
Counter clockwise.
Because they are idiots!
the reason muslims walk around the kabah 7 times because it is an obligation to show respect to the prophet ibrahim. This is called tawaf Hope fully this helped you
They walk and pray. They walk around a big rock and around Mecca. They also pray alot.
The Kaaba (Arabic: الكعبة al One of the Five Pillars of Islam requires every capable Muslim to perform the Hajj pilgrimage at least once in their lifetime. Multiple parts of the Hajj require pilgrims to walk several times around the Kaaba in a counter Qibla and prayer For any reference point on the Earth, the qibla is the direction to the Kaaba. Muslims are ordered to face this direction during prayer (Qur'an 2:143-144). While it may appear to some non-Muslims that Muslims worship the Kaaba, it is simply the focal point for prayer. Like Jews, the earliest Muslims prayed facing Jerusalem. According to Islamic tradition, when Muhammad was praying in the Qiblatain Mosque (in Medina), he was ordered by God to change the qibla from Jerusalem to Mecca and the Kaaba. Various theories are advanced as to the reason for the change. Qibla compasses are available that tell Muslims which direction to face no matter where they are. This method requires one to align the north arrow with a particular point on the compass corresponding to one's location. Once so aligned, one simply turns toward the direction indicated by the compass's qibla pointer, which is often in the shape of a minaret. "Qibla numbers" for various locations are listed in an accompanying booklet and also indexed online
