These are the historical hills and have great importance today. These hills have association with the wife of Hazrat Ibrahim (A.S) named Hazrat Hajar and also have the association with Hazrat Ismail (A.S).

History of Safa and Marwa:

Hazrat Ibrahim was the beloved Prophet of Allah Almighty therefore, Allah put him in many trials and tribulations. And he succeeded in all the trials. Allah decided to put him in a great trial and wanted to see what he does. He asked Hazrat Ibrahim to leave his wife and a newborn baby in the alone deserted area. He followed the order of Allah, left them in the desert and came back.

Condition of Hazrat Hajar and Hazrat Ismail in desert:

Hazrat Hajar and her son Ismael were alone in the desert. In the meanwhile, Hazrat Ismail an innocent baby felt thirst and starting weeping. Hazrat Hajar as a mother ran seven times between these two hills named as Safa and Marwa in the search of water. Both were in the center of Safa and Marwa.

While she completed seven rounds she looked at her son. He was rubbing the earth with his feet and water came out of the earth. It was the pure water. She gave water to her son and also drank herself. The water continued to come out of the ground. It was named as Zam Zam and today it is called Zam Zam water.

Success in the Examination:

In this way Prophet of Allah remained successful in his test taken by Allah. Hazrat Hajar followed the order of Allah and remained at patience therefore, Allah rewarded her with a gift that till the Day of Judgment her activity will be repeated by the Muslim Ummah.

Today a great number of Muslims perform Hajj and Umrah and they follow this way of Hazrat Hajar keeping in mind her situation and run seven times between these two hills. The distance between these two hills is 450 meters and seven rounds between them make a total distance of 3.2 kilometers.
Zam Zam also has a great importance in the lives of all the Muslims. Drinking this water gives person a chance to become secure from all the diseases. Holy Prophet also drank this water and it is the Sunnah of Holy Prophet to drink this pure water.

Sa’eey, the Sunnah of Holy Prophet:

Holy Prophet also ran seven times between these two hills while performing his farewell Hajj. He recommended Muslims to follow his way of performing Hajj and Umrah. So it is compulsory for all the Muslims to complete seven rounds between these two hills.

Sa’eey, the main doing of Hajj and Umrah:

Sa’eey is the main doing in Hajj and Umrah. Without Sa’eey once Hajj and Umrah are not accepted by Allah. It is the main rite of Hajj and Umrah and should be performed. It is all because of the importance of Safa and Marwa.
