SAFA and MARWAH are the SYMBOL of ALLAH SWT

In my recent article I have tried to relate the vital part of Muslim's obligation of performing the Hajj and Umrah during the pilgrimage to Mecca. In this brief writing I would continue to highlight the remarkable doing the Safa and Marwah because they are truly regarded as the Syambol of Allah SWT. In this connection, let us observe in the Al-Qur'an surah Al-Baqarah verse 158:

Surah Al-Baqarah verse 158: (The Cow)

"Verily! As-Safa and Al-Marwah [two mountains in Makkah] are of symbols of Allah. So it is not a sin on him who performs Hajj and Marwah [pilgrimage] of the House [the Ka'bah at Makkah] to perform the going [Tawaf] between them [As-Safa and Al-Marwah]. And whoever does good voluntarily, then verily, Allah is All-Recogniser, All-Knower."

From the verse therein surah Al-Baqarah cited to command the Muslims to hold steadfastly to perform the Sai' that is the Safa and Merwah, the walks seven times back and forth between the two hills of Safa and Marwah. The Sai' is required to be done as soon as one has completed performing the Tawaf that is walks seven times counter-wise around the Ka'bah.

As to elaborate further, Safa and Marwah are situated between the two hills in the sacred Mosque. The pilgrims are compelled to fervency believe that Safa and Marwah are truly the symbol of Allah SWT. So, those Muslims who perform the Hajj and Umrah must take the opportunity to complete the walks between the Hills of Safa and Marwah which is said the distance of six hundred meters and to walk back and forth. As soon as one has completed the ritual of Sai', the pilgrims would suppose to do hair cutting which is the last step to perform. Allah SWT regarded and pleased to those grateful Muslims and they will be heavenly rewarded in the Hereafter.

Finally, the Muslims pilgrims should believe that Safa and Marwah are among the emblem of Allah SWT. It is therefore, no sin for those who perform Hajj and Umrah in the House of Allah SWT [Ka'bah] to ritual walk to and forth between the two hills and Allah SWT knows and appreciate one who does grateful with willing heart.


`Allah is Off-Thankful, Goodness and Know.
