Raml(رَمَل) Raml is the Sunnah act of walking briskly with short, hurried steps during the first three circuits of তাওয়াফ. It is practiced by male হাজীগণ during তাওয়াফ al-Qudum and তাওয়াফ of উমরাহ.
رَمَل
Raml involves walking at a pace faster than normal with short, quick steps, puffing out the chest and moving the shoulders — similar to a light jog. It is performed only during the first three of the seven তাওয়াফ circuits, while the remaining four circuits are walked at a normal pace. Raml is a Sunnah specifically for men; women walk at their normal pace throughout. The practice originated during the উমরাহ of 7 AH (the Year of Qada), when নবী করীম Muhammad (সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়া সাল্লাম) instructed his companions to perform Raml to show the watching Quraysh of মক্কা মুকাররমা that the Muslims were strong and not weakened by the fever of মদীনা মুনাওয়ারা. Although the original reason no longer exists, নবী করীম continued the practice during his Farewell Pilgrimage, establishing it as a permanent Sunnah. Raml is typically paired with Idtiba (exposing the right shoulder).
