Tawaf and some of its rulings are mentioned in the [[Quran]], 2:125,{{Enote|And [remember] when We made the House a place of reward for mankind and a sanctuary, [declaring], "Take the venue of prayer from Abraham's Station." We charged Abraham and Ishmael [with its upkeep, saying], " Purify My House for those who go around it, [for] those who make it a retreat and [for] those who bow and prostrate."}} and 22:26 and 29. These verses imply that tawaf was an old worship common in the period of the prophet [[Ibrahim (a)]].  


In 2:158, running between [[Safa]] and [[Marwa]] is also called 'tawaf'. In some other verses, the root, "tawf", (طوف) is used in its literal meaning (that is, turning around something).
