What happens at as-safa and al-matwa?

As-Safa and Al-Marwah are two hills located in the Masjid al-Haram in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. During the Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages, pilgrims perform the ritual of Sa'i, which involves walking seven times between these two hills to commemorate Hagar's search for water for her son, Ishmael. This act symbolizes perseverance and faith, reflecting Hagar's reliance on God. The ritual is an essential component of the pilgrimage, reinforcing its spiritual significance.
