This is from a documentry movie i donot own any copyrights for this ,i was happy to find this part where they record muslims doing hajj "pilgrimage" in mecca around kaaba ,with a really amazing time lapse of muslims during tawaf starting 2:24 . a friend of mine wanted to see what muslims do when we go there .when muslims from all over the world come to this place .as they are asked to do hajj once in a life time if they are able to gathered in once place all humans equal !! wearing simple things no money no race nothing differ them from each other.and the sound you hear is Azan "calling for prayers" .doing tawaf which Hajj require pilgrims to walk seven times around the Kaaba in a counter-clockwise direction ,we donot worship the kaaba is a symbol we worship god "Allah" creator of everthing. kaaba serves as a focal and unifying point among the Muslim people Muslims are expected to face the Kaaba during prayers, no matter where they are. From any given point in the world, the direction facing the Kaaba is called the Qiblah.
just looking at that point 2:27 when it seems like everything revolving around one point made me have tears in my eyes may allah help all those who wish to go there to get the chance .
اشهد ان لا اله الا الله و ان محمد رسول الله
this is the translation of Azan "calling for prayers" translated to english as close as possible
