Safa and Marwa Challenge
As we find ourselves coming towards the month of Dhul Hijjah, let us reflect upon the story of Hajar AS, a woman whose actions are repeated by all Muslims during Hajj and Umrah.
This is one of the rituals performed by men and women who visit the Holy Land for Hajj and Umrah. The ritual of Sai involves nothing but going in meditation and remembrance of Allah between the mountains of As-Safa and Al-Marwa. All while hurrying up in the valley between them and supplicating when reaching the tops of both mountains.
These mountains are 420 meters apart in distance, nearly half of a kilometre. However, Hajar AS not only walked between these two points but hurried in her search for water. Not once or twice, or four or five times, but seven times in total.
Relive the epic story of Hajar AS the wife of the great Prophet Ibrahim AS and the story of the purest of water, Zamzam.
FREE ENTRY until 21st July 2020
