They walk around the Kaaba 7 times.
Hajj is the fifth pillar in Islam, it is were Muslims walk around the Kaaba(a holy building) seven 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.
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?]
Because they are idiots!
Counter clockwise.
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
People walk around the Kaaba in a counter-clockwise (anti-clockwise) direction during the Tawaf ritual. This practice is part of the pilgrimage rituals in Islam, symbolizing the unity of believers in the worship of the One God. Pilgrims aim to keep the Kaaba to their left as they circumambulate it.
They walk and pray. They walk around a big rock and around Mecca. They also pray alot.
