Quran Cordoba - Bukit Shafa and Marwah are a place to do sa'i. Sa'i is a mandatory practice so that it cannot be replaced with other practices where pilgrims must understand prayers and the procedures for the practice so that the pilgrimage and pilgrimage are valid.

Sa'i was done on foot between Shafa and Marwah 7 times. Of course the requirements to do sa'i must be preceded by Tawaf Ifadah. So as a congregation you must understand about Sa'i as well as its history that occurs on these two hills.

‍

The history of sa'i that occurred in the hills of Shafa and Marwah 

Bukit Shafa and Marwah are silent witnesses of the history of Sa'i which is a harmony in the pilgrimage and Umrah. At that time the Prophet Ibrahim was ordered by Allah SWT to leave his wife and child in a barren desert. Siti Hajar and Ismail are equipped with food and drinks but eventually run out.

Surely Siti Hajar tried to find water for her child where at that time she saw a hill, Bukit Shafa. Then he rushed to look for water to the top of the hill but nothing. Then he descended towards Bukit Marwah to look for water but the results were also nil.

Siti Hajar then returned to Shafa Hill then returned to Marwah Hill and did it up to 7 times. After continuing to do this from Bukit Marwah Siti Hajar heard the sound of water.

He then approached the direction of the sound, then was surprised to see the radiant water coming out of the ground under the soles of the feet of the Prophet Ismail. Now the water is called zam-zam water which never recedes or is dry. People then crossed the area then decided to stay so that it became the city of Mecca that developed.

Prayer reading and dhikr when the sa'i between the shafa hill and marwah

Meaning: "God is great, there is no God except Allah. There is no God except Allah. Allah is great, all praise to God, Allah is great, for the instructions given to us, all praise to God for the gifts that have been given to us.

There is no God but Allah Almighty, there is no allies for Him. For Him kingdom and praise. He is the one who revives and is deadly, in His power is all kindness and He has power over everything ".

4. Prayer after completing sa'i then arrives at Bukit Marwah 

اللّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا تَقَبَّلْ مِنَّا وَعَافِنَا وَاعْفُ عَنَ stat لاَتَكِلْنَا وَعَلَى اْلإِيْمَانِ واْلإِسْلاَمِ الَكَامِلِ جَم above

اللّهُمَّ ارْحَمْنِيْ أَنْ أَتَكَلَّفَ مَالاَ يَعْنِيْ وَاsp يَاأَرْحَمَ الرَّا حِمِيْنَ.

Meaning: "O Allah, accept our practice, wee with us, forgive our mistakes and help us to obey and be grateful to You. Do not make us depend other than to You. Turn off us in faith and Islam perfectly and you are happy.

O Allah, we are merciful so that we are able to leave all immorality during our lives and our grace so that we don't do anything useless. We will be a good view of what makes You Ridha towards us, O God of Most of Love from everything that is loved ".

Lessons taken from Sa'i Bukit Shafa and Marwah

There are several wisdoms that can be taken from the story of Siti Hajar on Bukit Shafa and Marwah. Some of these positive values can be applied in everyday life, one of which must trust in Allah SWT. From the story of Siti Hajar, it was shown full of resignation to his creator which was different from resignation.

Because tawakal is an attitude of hanging everything that happens in accordance with God's will. So in the attitude of tawakal there is a role in the endeavor where the task of humans must always endeavor but the matter of God's destiny that decides.

With this positive value, it can help you to be a better human being than before. So besides knowing the reading of the SA'i prayer, it is obligatory to know about the history of the creation of this pillar in Bukit Shafa and Marwah.
