Abstract: This article presents an in-depth analysis of the interpretation of Surah Al-Baqarah verse 127 in the Ta'wil asy-Syi'ah book. This verse, which tells the story of the construction of the Kaaba by the Prophets Ibrahim and Ismail, is often used as a reference in understanding the procedures and meaning of tawaf worship. This research aims to reveal the specific understanding of the Shiite school of thought regarding this verse, especially in relation to the tawaf ritual. Through text analysis methods, this research explores various interpretations of Shi'a scholars towards verse 127. The results of the analysis show that Shi'a interpretations of this verse have their own characteristics. They not only see the construction of the Kaaba as a historical event, but also as a spiritual symbol that contains deep meaning about man's relationship with God. Shiite interpretations also highlight aspects of the tawaf ritual that are considered to have high symbolic and spiritual value. Keywords: Takwil, Al-Baqarah, Tawaf
