The meaning of Tawaf E Ishq

Tawaf means circling the Kaaba, one of the most moving acts of worship in Islam. Ishq in Urdu literature stands for deep, all-consuming love. Together, Tawaf E Ishq suggests a journey of the heart around the love of the Creator. In Islamic tradition, hajj and umrah are acts that remind a believer that life is a movement toward Allah, with the heart returning again and again to its centre. The novel borrows this feeling and turns it into a story.
