A Hajj pilgrim in the Masa'a

 

The strip of ground between Mount Safa and Mount Marwah in the holy city of Mecca is referred to as the Mas’aa. It is where Hajar, the wife of Prophet Abraham (AS) rushed seven times to see if she could spot any water or anyone from whom she could get some in order to give to her infant Ismail (AS).

This action is copied by all pilgrims performing Hajj or Umrah and is known as Sa’ee.

Pilgrims, who are from various nationalities and races and speak different languages, have access to copies of the Quran with translations in the courtyards of the Grand Mosque as well as other places like al-Masa’a.

After doing the religious rituals and saying prayers, they retreat to a corner and read and contemplate on the heavenly verses of the Holy Book.

Hajj is a pilgrimage to Mecca that every able-bodied and financially able Muslim is obliged to undertake at least once during their lifetime.

The annual pilgrimage is regarded as one of the pillars of Islam and the largest act of mass pilgrimage in the world.

It is also a demonstration of Muslims’ unity and their submission to Allah.
