What is Sa’ee in Islam?
Note: Most people don,t know
about Sa’ee. So first you have to read about Sa’ee and other guidelines of Umrah
then book your Hajj and Umrah Packages.
History of Sa’ee?
It is a memorial place of sacrifice
of a mother for her son. His mother was Hazrat Hajira and her son was Hazrat
Ismail. Hazrat Ibrahim was the husband of Hazrat Hajira and Ismail's father.
An example of Haji's sacrifice occurred when Hazrat
Hajira’s son Hazrat Ismail was left alone in the valley of Makkah by the order
of Allah. But when she had used all the water, Safa climbed the hill and wanted
to see someone, but there was no one far away, the whole area was empty. She
ran down to Marwa hill she kept running around to get help or fetch water from
somewhere. Before she went to her son, she ran
back and forth between the hills in the scorching heat seven times in search of
water, which they had left on the same ground to make their search faster and
easier. When they didn't get anything, Hazrat
Hajira got scared and prayed to Allah to save her son's life. According to
Islamic tradition, this was a special time when Allah accepted the medicine of
Hazrat Hajira(AS) and sent the angel Gabriel (A.S) from heaven. He hits his arm on
the ground and water came out from there. Hazrat Hajira drank the holy water
and gave it to his son and thanked God, and he built a well around the source
of this water. Which is still known as the well of Zamzam. The angel also assured them that one day her
husband and son will build the house of God in this place.
How to perform Sa’ee?
It is Sunnah for Muslims to perform
Tawaf immediately after completing it. But if you are tired, you can rest for a
while, but only in the pavilion. When your strength is with you, then you go
back to do it from there. The first thing to do is to perform ablution. Then after that, you are instructed to make seven rounds between the
hills of Safa and Marwa.
When to perform Sa’ee?
It is performed after the tawaf
prayer. So it is good that you stay in ablution. Muslim pilgrims depart for
Safa and Marwa after drinking water from the well of Zamzam. As soon as the
Muslims reach the top of the Safa hill, they turn towards the Kaaba and thank
Allah, and praise Him. Then they come down to the
hill of Marwa.
Significance of Sa’ee in Umrah?
The ritual of Sa'ee reflects this
ongoing struggle that a person faces throughout his life, as Hazrat Hajira (AS)
experienced this. Because of their unwavering faith in God, God responded to
their prayers and their needs were fulfilled. Sa'ee is the best way for a
pilgrim to get close to Allah in this modern age.
Conclusion:
The hills of Safa Marwa are known as
the glory of Allah. This incident happened at a short distance from Masjid
Al-Haram in Holy Kaaba. According to the Islamic duties on the occasion of Hajj
and Umrah, the Hills of Safa Marwa plays an important role for the pilgrims.
Pilgrims are instructed to walk seven times between the hills of Safa-Marwa to
commemorate Hazrat Hajira (AS). She was looking for water in the desert and
Allah revealed the miracle of Zamzam to her.
Note: If you are going to perform Umrah for the first time then first you have to read completely about Umrah and then book your Umrah Package 2023.
