    Blessed to have been given a chance and opportunity to be able to visit this two historical mountains in Islam for multiple times. The history of Safah and Marwah in Makkah dates back to ancient times and holds great significance in Islamic tradition. These two hills, located within the precincts of the Grand Mosque in Makkah, have a deep connection to the story of Hajar (Hagar) and her son Ismail (Ishmael), as mentioned in the Quran. According to Islamic belief, Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) was commanded by Allah to leave his wife Hajar and their infant son Ismail in the barren valley of Makkah. As Ibrahim left them with limited provisions, Hajar ran between the hills of Safah and Marwah seven times in search of water for her thirsty child. It is said that on her seventh run, she heard a voice and discovered a spring known as Zamzam miraculously gushing forth from beneath Ismail's feet. This incident became a symbol of trust in Allah's providence and unwavering faith for Muslims worldwide. The act of running between Safah and Marwah during Hajj (pilgrimage) or Umrah (lesser pilgrimage) has become an integral part of these rituals. Pilgrims retrace Hajar's footsteps by performing Sa'i, which involves running or walking briskly between the two hills seven times. Over time, these hills were leveled out during various expansions of the Grand Mosque complex. However, their historical significance remains intact. Today, Safah and Marwah are marked by green pillars within the mosque area to indicate the starting point for Sa'i during Hajj and Umrah. In recent years, Saudi Arabia has undertaken extensive renovations to accommodate the increasing number of pilgrims visiting Makkah. The area surrounding Safah and Marwah has been expanded with air-conditioned tunnels connecting both hills. This development ensures ease and comfort for pilgrims while performing Sa'i throughout the year. The story of Safah and Marwah serves as a reminder of the strength and resilience of Hajar, who demonstrated unwavering faith and trust in Allah's plan. It also symbolizes the importance of perseverance and seeking divine guidance in times of hardship. The hills continue to be a place of spiritual significance, where millions of Muslims from around the world come to fulfill their religious obligations and connect with the rich history of Islam.

    Safa and Marwa are two small hills, connected to the larger Abu Qubais and Qaiqan mountains, respectively, in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, now made part of the Masjid al-Haram. Muslims travel back and forth between them seven times in what is known as Sa'ee ritual pilgrimages of Ḥajj and Umrah. Muslims run between the two mountains (called Sa'ee), which they believe was made a ritual as a tribute to Hajar's search for water in the area when she ran out of provisions after Ibrahim left her in the valley upon Allah's command. The space between the two mountains in which the pilgrims run is called al-Mas'aa. The distance between Safa and Marwa is approximately 450m, therefore, seven trips back and forth amount to roughly 3.6 Km.

    Ater starting the first lap at Safa, it must end at Marwah and the next lap must begin at Marwah and end at Safa, until seven laps are completed. The laps are counted as follows ( Safa - Marwah, Marwah - Safa 2 Lap Complete ) From Safa, make your way towards Marwa. Between Safa and Marwa, you will encounter two sets of green fluorescent lights approximately 50 metres apart, which indicate the distance that Hajar ran in order to get to higher ground. These two markers are known as Milayn al-Akhdharayn (the two green mileposts). Between these two lights, it is Sunnah for men to run at a medium pace while women should continue normally.

    Safa and Marwa are the two Holy Hills situated in Makkah. The memories of sacred Safa and Marwa Hills belongs to Bibi Hajra and Prophet Ismail (A.S). Prophet Ibrahim (A.S) was commanded by Allah to leave His wife Bibi Hajra and son Hazrat Ismail (A.S) in the desert of Arab (presently Mecca) near Safa and Marwa. Ibrahim (A.s) is the Prophet of Allah and He must fulfill the orders of His Lord. So He left His wife and child in the desert alone with a jug of water. When the jug of water ended infant Ismail (A.S) was crying for water than her mother complete seven rounds between the Safa and Marwa for the seeking of water and at the certain place from where She couldn’t able to see Her son, She ran fast.

    Blessed to to have completed 2 times 7 Laps of Safa and Marwa... It looks extremely long but with the right intention and mindset you will be able to achieve it. It's completely cool inside and spacious. Everyone walks on his own pace. And there is plenty of zam zam (water). And you are allowed to rest in between your walks. Just before we started our umrah we took a pharmaton dietary supplement for energy. Really helped tremendously. 👍

    Safa and Marwa, also known as Saee, are two small hills located within the Masjid al-Haram in Makkah. Walking between these hills is a significant ritual of both Hajj and Umrah. The journey between these hills reminds you of the story of Hagar's desperate search for water for her son Ishmael. This historical connection makes each step between Safa and Marwa heavy with meaning. The path is now modernized, making it easier for pilgrims. It's covered and air-conditioned, which is a relief given the hot climate. Floors are marked to guide the pilgrims, ensuring an orderly flow. But despite the modern facilities, the essence of Saee remains. As you walk, there's a feeling of unity, seeing so many people from different parts of the world, all there for the same purpose. The spiritual energy is tangible, making Saee an unforgettable part of the pilgrimage.

    I visited Safa and Marwa with my family while we were performing ummrah, and it was one of our most memorable experiences. The interior of the building is beautiful, and the fact that it wasn't too crowded created a calm, spiritual atmosphere. There is plenty of room to pray at the ends of the path, and there are water fountains every fifty metres or so. The entire area is air conditioned, and kept clean by dozens of staff members. They also provide wheelchair services for the elderly and disabled. Overall, we all found our visit simply amazing, and can't wait to return.

    It's nice! really nice try and walking between these two rock is fun and interesting. All the actions we do here are symbolic and have a great history and philosophy. It seems they cover the rock with a transparent layer to protect it. Maybe it's better to choose midnight to do this because of the hot weather. It was really overcrowded at the time I visited.

    Safa and Marwa (Arabic: ٱلصَّفَا وَٱلْمَرْوَة‎,) are two small hills, connected to the larger Abu Qubais and Qaiqan mountains, respectively,in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, now made part of the Masjid al-Haram. Muslims travel back and forth between them seven times in what is known as Sa'ee (Arabic: سَعِي‎, ) ritual pilgrimages of Ḥajj and Umrah.

The space between the two mountains in which the pilgrims walk is called al-Mas'aa. Safa is a small mountain located at the bottom of the Abu Qubais Mountain, about 130 meters (430 ft) southeast of the Ka'bah, which is the beginning of the Sa'ee.

    The Holy Places of Masjidil Haram Masjidil Haram is located in the city of Makkah and it is the largest mosque in the world. Masjidil Haram building has the circle shape. The structure area of Masjidil haram is around 656.800 square metres including the outdoor and indoor. Masjidil Haram can receive more than one million people. Then, it consist of 3 floors and it has seven tower . Beside that, this mosque has 4 main door and 45 extra door. Masjidil Haram is the holiest mosque in the world and it is the primary destination of the pilgrimage who do hajj or umroh. The specialty of Masjidil Haram is “prayer in Masjidil Haram is more eminent than 100.000 times prayer in the other mosque.” It is really amazing. Masjidil Haram has some holy places, there are Ka’bah, Hijr Ismail, Maqam Ibrahim, Safa Marwah hills and Zam-Zam well. First, Masjidil Haram has a square building. It is Ka’bah. The foundation of Ka’bah is made from marble. The thickness of marble is 25 cm at least. Ka’bah is the first building on the earth which is used as a qiblat in moslem prayer piety, so that Ka’bah become a center building in Masjidil Haram. Then, Ka’bah is the most sacred site in islam and all of moslem around the world face the Ka’bah during prayer, no matter where they are. All of moslem who do hajj or umroh have to around the Ka’bah seven times, it is called tawaf. Every wall corner of Ka’bah has name. The north side is Rukun Iraqi (Irak), the south side is Rukun Yamani (Yaman), the west side is Rukun Syami (Suriah) and the east side is Rukun Aswad (Hajar Aswad). Next, Ka’bah has a shutter wall. It is kiswah. Kiswah is made from gold thread and is adorned with Al-Qur’an callighraphy. The width of the Kiswah is 658 m2. Also, Ka’bah has Al- Burk. Al-Burk is the gold door and it is made from gold 99 carats. The weight of Al-Burk is 280 kg. In addition, Hajar Aswad is a black stone. It is in the corner of tawaf. Hajar Aswad consist of 8 piece silver circle. Ka’bah is very wonderful and has a lot of history. Second, one of part from Ka’bah is Hijr Ismail. Hijr Ismail is located in the north side of Ka’bah. It is covered by a short wall (Al-Hatim) and it is circle shape. Hijr Ismail is the foundation of Ibrahim’s family. In this place, many people who do hajj or umroh piety do sunnah prayer directly because Hijr Ismail is a good place to pray. Third, in Masjidil Haram is found Maqam Ibrahim. The Maqam Ibrahim is a rock that has an imprint of Ibrahim's foot which is kept in a crystal dome next to the Ka’bah. Maqam Ibrahim faces with Al-Burk. Maqam Ibrahim is caressed by people who do hajj or umroh piety. Fourth, Masjidil Haram mosque has two hills, there are As-Safa and Al-Marwah. Safa and Marwah hills are located approximately half a mile from the Ka’bah. The distance between Safa and Marwah are 450 m or 1.480 feet. Safa and Marwah are two small hills and it is the place to do sa’i. Sa’i begins from Safa to Marwah. When the moslem do sa’i in Safa and Marwah, they are travel back and forth for seven times. Among Safa and Marwah are found the green pillar. Besides, among Safa and Marwah sets some tap water. The tap water originates from Zam-Zam Well, so moslem who feel thirsty when she/ he does sa’i in Safa and Marwah, they can drink the water directly as satisfied as possible. The last is Zam-Zam Well. The name of the well traditionally comes from the phrase Zomë-Zomë. Zam-zam water originates from spring in the base land of Masjidil Haram, it is called Zam-Zam Well. It is located around 20 m (66 feet) at southeast of Ka’bah. Zam-Zam Well taps ground water from the Wadi Alluvium lining and it spurts water non-stop. The well has never gone dry despite the millions of liters of water consumed every year. Zam-zam water has no colour or smell, and has a distinct taste. All in all, Masjidil Haram is the greatest mosque. It is the most special mosque in the world because the holy places in Masjidil Haram is very extraordinary and astonishing. Also, Masjidil Haram becomes center mosque in the world.

    A reminder for Bibi Hajra's struggle to find water for Hazrat Ismael in barren desert then Allah answered it with flowing Zam Zam. The name ZaM Zam means to stop as Bibi Hajra said once their thirst was over. But Zam Zam keeps flowing from that day till Qayamat.....

    In the barren desert, Bibi Hajra faced a relentless struggle to find water for Hazrat Ismael (AS). It was a reminder of her unwavering determination and unwavering faith. And then, a miracle happened. Allah answered her prayers with the gushing flow of Zam Zam. The name Zam Zam, derived from Bibi Hajra's words, reflects the moment when their thirst was quenched. But the extraordinary thing is that Zam Zam continues to flow to this day, an eternal testament to that divine intervention. Its waters will never cease until the end of time.

    Ahh! A mother running between Safa and Marwa to find water for her son. It meant so much to Allah that Allah made it compulsory for every Muslim to feel that and made it a part of Umrah and Hajj. Even glimpse of feeling that situation while you're here gives you goosebumps and tears in your eyes. May Allah give chance to every Muslim to experience it and come here and feel blessed and drink Zamzam. InshaAllah

    Safa (Arabic: الصّفا‎, romanized: Aṣ-Ṣafā) and Marwa (Arabic: المروة‎, romanized: Al-Marwah) are two small hills now located in the Great Mosque of Mecca in Saudi Arabia named the Masjid Al-Haram. Muslims travel back and forth between them seven times, during the ritual pilgrimages of Hajj and Umrah. Contents Location Movement path between Safa and Marwa, illustrated along-side the circumambulation of the Ka'bah The Great Mosque houses the Ka'bah, the focal point of prayer for all Muslims. Safa—from which the ritual walking or Sa'i begins—and Marwa are located approximately 100 m (330 ft) and 350 m (1,150 ft) from the Ka'bah respectively. The distance between Safa and Marwa is approximately 450 m (1,480 ft), so that seven trips back and forth amount to roughly 3.2 km (2.0 mi). The two points and the path between them are now inside a long gallery that forms part of the mosque. Islamic tradition In Islamic tradition, Abraham (Ibrahim) was commanded by God to leave his wife Hagar (Hajar) and their infant son, Ishmael (Isma'il), alone in the desert between Safa and Marwa. When their provisions were exhausted, Hagar went in search of help or water. To make her search easier and faster, she went alone, leaving the infant on the ground. She first climbed the nearest hill, Safa, to look over the surrounding area. When she saw nothing, she then went to the other hill, Marwah, to look around. While Hagar was on either hillside, she was able to see Ishmael and know he was safe. However, when she was in the valley between the hills she was unable to see her son, and would thus run whilst in the valley and walk at a normal pace when on the hillsides. Hagar traveled back and forth between the hills seven times in the scorching heat before returning to her son. When she arrived, she heard a voice. It turns out that Gabriel is at the position of the water. She looked for water by his wing until the water appeared, she took a drink of water in her sheds, and drank and breastfed her son. That position was known as the Zamzam Well. Sai Performing the Sa'i (Arabic: سعي‎, romanized: Sa‘ī, lit. 'seeking, search,' or 'ritual walking') serves to commemorate Hagar's search for water for her son and God's mercy in answering prayers. The walkway is entirely covered by a gallery and is divided into four one-way lanes, of which the inner two are reserved for the elderly and disabled.

    Saee starts from safa and finishes at marwa total 7 laps, when you go from safa to marwa count as 1, and when saee is completed make sure it always complete on marwa, Total distance of saee is around 3km

    The Saiee is easier on the ground level (one floor above kaba). The walk becomes longer on the second and third floors but if you have a wheelchair I'd suggest go to upper levels for less crowd. Make sure to take prayer notes/books with you and remember Bibi Hajra's struggle. May Allah bless you.

    The faithful traversed the path between two ridges called Safa and Marwa to commemorate what Hajir (one of the wives of prophet Ebrahim) did in desperate search of water in this then lifeless valley.

    Peygamber Efendimiz Safa ve Merve tepeleri arasında yürürken (sa'y yaparken) müşriklerin kenardaki bir tepede oturup kendisiyle alay etmeleri üzerine kendileri, o bölgede daha dik bir görünümde ve koşmaya yakın hızlı adımlarla o bölgeden geçermiş. Günümüzde o bölge yeşil floresan lambalarla belirlenmiş ve tavaf sonrası sa'y ibadetine geçen Müslümanlar bu arada hızlı yürümektedirler.

    (Translated by Google) ۞ As-Saffa and Marwah are among the ritual acts of God. I strive between Al-Safa and Al-Marwah, one of the pillars of Hajj and Umrah for Muslims, so that the pilgrim or the pilgrim begins the quest from Al-Safa and ends with flexibility. And jogging between the two green marks. The endeavor may stop to drink Zamzam water or to pray in case it is held. great experience. (Original) ۞ إِنَّ الصَّفَا وَالْمَرْوَةَ مِن شَعَائِرِ اللَّهِ ۖ فَمَنْ حَجَّ الْبَيْتَ أَوِ اعْتَمَرَ فَلَا جُنَاحَ عَلَيْهِ أَن يَطَّوَّفَ بِهِمَا ۚ وَمَن تَطَوَّعَ خَيْرًا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ شَاكِرٌ عَلِيمٌ (158). أن ااسعي بين الصفا والمروة أحد أركان الحج والعمرة لدى المسلمين، بحيث يبدأ الحاج أو المعتمر السعي من الصفا وينتهي بالمرونة ويعتبر هذا شوط ومن ثم العودة من المروة الى الصفا وهذا شوط اخر ومجموع هذه الأشواط سبعة أشواط، وعلى الحاج أو المعتمر أن يمشي بين الصفا والمروة ويهرول بين العلامتين الخضراوين. وقد يتوقف الساعي لشرب ماء زمزم أو للصلاة في حال إقامتها. تجربة رائعة.

    An important places in the holy city of Mecca. A person who goes on pilgrimage to Mecca has to perform umra in ihraam. Saa'ee is one of the parts of Umra. Saa'ee means going from Safa and Marwah seven times. It is a recognition of Hazrat Haajira RADIYALLAHU ANHA who ran for water between safa and Marwah 7 times. The person who goes for Haj and Umra has to perform Saa'ee. May Allah Almighty bless all muslims to do Haj and Umra.

    After circle the Kaaba, walk seven times between As Safa and Al Marwa, male pilgrims take get a little faster when you see green lamps on top of you. It's possible to do this with wheelchairs. People who will help you are waiting for you. It's a spiritual special place here. After this distance you go left the side at Al- Marwa to cut your hair and the Umrah is complete. Thanks Alah for this unique experience. Alhamdulila.

    Safâ and Marwa (Arabic: الصفا, Aş-Şafā; المروة, Al-Marwah) are two rocky mounds located in Mecca near the Kaaba, between which takes place the rite of saʿīy, (سَعْيي, "the race") which consists, during the hajj or the umrah, in covering the distance which separates them seven times at a rapid pace. Succeeding the tawaf around the Kaaba, this ritual is a station that is one of the obligatory and unavoidable activities to be performed by Muslim pilgrims.

    Safa and Marwa are two small hills, connected to the larger Abu Qubais and Qaiqan mountains, respectively, in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, now made part of the Masjid al-Haram. Muslims travel back and forth between them seven times in what is known as Sa'ee ritual pilgrimages of Ḥajj and Umrah. Muslims run between the two mountains (called Sa'ee), which they believe was made a ritual as a tribute to Hajar's search for water in the area when she ran out of provisions after Ibrahim left her in the valley upon Allah's command. The space between the two mountains in which the pilgrims run is called al-Mas'aa. The distance between Safa and Marwa is approximately 450m, therefore, seven trips back and forth amount to roughly 3.6 Km. .
