31. Two Raka'h After Tawaaf

Upon completion of tawaf the Prophet salallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam proceeded to Makam Ibraheem (The Station of Abraham), reciting the injunction of Allah:




Wattakhizuu mim- Ma-qaamil 'Ibraheema musalla

"And take the Station of Ibraheem as a place of prayer."


He then prayed two ra'kahs behind Maqam Ibraheem. In the first rak'ah recited Surah al-Kafirun, and in the second Surah al-Ikhlas. 


If there is the great crowd at Maqam Ibraheem, these two rak'ahs can be offered at any other place in al-Masjid al-Haram or even outside it. 

After performing the two rak'ahs of tawaaf, the Prophet (PBUH) returned to the Ka'bah and kissed the Black Stone.
