ISLAMABAD, (MILLAT+APP): For the first time, the covering
cloth of the Holy Kaaba, also known as Kiswa, will have a new
addition to indicate the starting and ending points of
circumambulation (Tawaf) around the sacred structure.
This will help pilgrims count the number of Tawaf they have
performed, Arab news reported.
The gilded four lantern shaped patches with Allah-u-Akbar
(Allah is greatest) sewn in its center, were placed above the
Black Stone.
This new addition is the fourth directional signage that has
been assembled recently to guide the pilgrims to where
circumambulation starts and ends in a bid to prevent any
confusion.
Prior to this change, there used to be a brown line adjacent
to the Black Stone, which was removed as it was causing
congestion.
