== Monotheistic Secrets of Tawaf ==
In the view of many commentators and researchers, Tawaf is a manifestation of practical monotheism; a circular movement around a center that reminds believers of their sole destination, which is God.<ref name=":0">Sahba-ye Hajj, p. 190; Surah al-Anbiya, verse 97; Pish Daramadi bar Farhangnameh Asrar va Ma'aref Hajj, vol. 1, p. 207.</ref>

== Ethical Secrets ==
Ethical and educational sources consider Tawaf a practice for cultivating spiritual values and a reminder of the humility of servants before the greatness of God.<ref>Daneshnameh Hajj va Haramayn Sharifayn, vol. 6, pp. 372 and 373.</ref> In this journey, the pilgrim detaches his heart from reliance on people and trusts only in God<ref>Asrar Irfani Hajj, p. 360.</ref> and seeks repentance and purity from sins from Him.<ref>Ilal al-Shara'i, vol. 2, p. 310; Kafi, vol. 4, p. 188.</ref> The collective harmony of the [[Hajji|pilgrims]] creates a manifestation of empathy and unity<ref>Pish Daramadi bar Farhangnameh Asrar va Ma'aref Hajj, vol. 1, p. 206.</ref> and the vast crowd and their movement evoke the remembrance of the Day of Judgment and the human journey from this world to the hereafter.<ref>Pish Daramadi bar Farhangnameh Asrar va Ma'aref Hajj, vol. 1, p. 209.</ref>

== Symbols and Codes ==
In a mystical view, Tawaf symbolizes man's inner journey towards God, and each stage has its secrets.<ref>Sahba-ye Hajj, p. 191.</ref> It is said that the [[Kaaba]] is an extension of [[Bayt al-Ma'mur]] and a representation of the Throne, and a proper Tawaf elevates the seeker to higher levels;<ref>Bihar, vol. 96, p. 57; Sahba-ye Hajj, p. 190.</ref> by circumambulating the Kaaba, man resembles the angels circumambulating the [[Throne]].<ref>Zumar, 75.</ref><ref>Mustadrak al-Wasa'il, vol. 10, p. 172.</ref> At the same time, it has been pointed out that performing it in a crowd shows that religion prefers social presence over isolation.<ref>Pish Daramadi bar Farhangnameh Asrar va Ma'aref Hajj, vol. 1, p. 210.</ref>

=== The Secret of the Number Seven in Tawaf Rounds ===
Tawaf in all Islamic schools of thought consists of seven rounds, and philosophical, interpretive, and mystical sources have offered various explanations for the secret of this number. Some have considered it a sign of man's detachment from seven undesirable traits—vanity, arrogance, envy, greed, stinginess, anger, and lust—and their replacement with seven good qualities such as knowledge, wisdom, chastity, courage, justice, generosity, and humility.<ref name=":4">Asrar Irfani Hajj, p. 364.</ref>

On the other hand, the seven rounds of Tawaf refer to movement through the seven climes or the seven heavens<ref>Asrar al-Shari'ah, p. 243.</ref> and have similarities with the seven stages of prayer from standing to salutation.<ref>Asrar Irfani Hajj, p. 365.</ref> In some sources, this number has been linked to the seven thousand years of distance between angels and God during their protest against the creation of man.<ref>Ilal al-Shara'i, vol. 2, p. 407.</ref> It has also been said that each round of Tawaf reminds one of attaining one of the seven inner meanings of the Quran and its interpretations.<ref>Asrar al-Shari'ah, p. 240.</ref>

The number seven in Tawaf is also consistent with other Hajj rituals; such as seven times [[Sa'i]] and seven pebbles for [[Ramy|Ramy al-Jamarat]].<ref name=":4" /> This harmony is also seen with the cosmic order: the Quran speaks of seven heavens<ref>Baqarah, 29.</ref> and seven seas,<ref>Luqman, 27.</ref> Surah al-Fatiha is known as Sab' al-Mathani with seven verses, and a week also has seven days.<ref name=":4" /> Thus, the number seven in Tawaf is a symbol of cosmic order and the connection of worship with the structure of creation.{{مدرک}}

Ultimately, seven rounds of Tawaf are considered to signify the completion of an act of worship<ref>Asrar Irfani Hajj, pp. 370 and 371.</ref> and in mystical sources, it also refers to the seven stages of spiritual journey and human ranks.<ref>Asrar Irfani Hajj, pp. 366-370.</ref>

== Starting Tawaf from Hajar al-Aswad ==
{{اصلی|Hajar al-Aswad}}{{اصلی|Secrets of Hajar al-Aswad}}In narrations, Hajar al-Aswad is called "the hand of God on earth."<ref>Bihar al-Anwar, vol. 96, p. 220; Al-Hajj wa al-Umrah fi al-Kitab wa al-Sunnah, pp. 102-103.</ref> Starting [[Tawaf]] from it is considered a sign of entering the sacred precinct of the [[Kaaba|House of God]] and renewing the covenant with the Lord, and [[Istilam|touching this stone]] is making a covenant with God that the [[pilgrim]] will no longer commit sins.<ref name=":1">Sahba-ye Hajj, p. 194.</ref>
