Challenge Name: Safa & Marwa Challenge

About The Virtual Challenge

Dhul Hijjah, a moment to 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.

The Challenge

The distance between Safa and Marwa 7 times is 3.6 Kilometres or 5000 steps. The Challenge is to complete a distance of 3.6k or 5000 steps in days of Dhul Hijjah or any other days. Walk it, jog it, run it or do it as a family and count up your steps daily for the blessed 10 days of Dhul Hijjah.
