Zakiullah Khan

Safa and Marwa (Arabic: ٱلصَّفَا وَٱلْمَرْوَة‎, romanized: Aṣ-Ṣafā wal-Marwah) are two small hills, connected to the larger Abu Qubais and Qaiqan mountains, respectively, in Mecca, Saudi Arabia, now made part of Al-Masjid al-Haram. These hills have significant role in the Islamic obligations of Hajj and Umrah. Pilgrims are instructed to walk or jog between Safa and Marwa seven times to commemorate the struggle of Bibi Hajera (RA) as she searched for water for her thirsty son "Prophet Ismail" in the desert and the miracle of ZamZam was revealed here to her.
