1. it is the mount where from saie starts.

2. safa is the mount where once prophet sallalla ho alli hi wasalm had stood and asked kuffar-e-quresh if i say enemy is coming from the back of this mount, would you believe me? Since the prophet sallallaho allihi wasalam was known as SADIQ (truth spoken) in Makkah . they all said jointly "yes, without any doubt". Then prophet sallalla ho allihi wasalam started initial and very first  preaching of islam from this mount but many mnay kuffar did not accept islam despite accepting prophet Muhammad sallalla ho allihi wasalam SADIQ.

3.In holy Quran safa and marwa mounts are described as SHAIR-UL-ALLAH.

4.Safa mount is now inside the Haram and complete hill has been removed .Oly few rocks are still there which have been closed in a glass circled room as you see in the picture.

Another view of safa mount.Safa looks like this today.

1 . It is the mount which is just opposite side of "Jabal-e-Safa" and now it is inside the "Haram". Only few pieces of rock are still there whereas the whole mountain has been removed like safa mount.

2 . According to a school of thought it is the mount on which the Eve (bibi Hawa) was decended from heaven to the earth. Some do not believe in it but refrence qutations are found in different books in the favour of such belief from Ibn-e-uner,Al-qumi , Imam jaffar sadiq. Ibne Abbas saysbibi hawa was decended in jeddah. Walla-alam-bis sawab .Who believes in this theory says that word MARWA is derived from word MARAH which means LADY and as the lady Hawa was decended here ,therefore it is calles MARWA. walla alam bis sawab ---Allah subhan-o-talla knows the best----

3. Like safa maraw mount has also come in the territory of Haram and almost complete mount has been removed and a few rocks are there.The quantity of rock of marwa is far lesser than Safa today. you may see in picture.

   7 .  A same type area for Sa`ie has been built on first floor of "Haram" just above the original ground level "Sa`ie" area. This is built so that room may be doubled for faithful on the occasion of "Hajj" and "Ramadan". Stairs and lifts are installed near safa gate to care pilgrims on upper level.
 

   SOME OLD IMAGES OF OLD MASSA
        (PASSAGE BETWEEN MOUNT SAFA AND MARWA)
______________________________________________

        60 years ago(approx). This area was out of
                   masjid-ul-Haram at that time.

2.     ANOTHER OLD PIC OF MASSA
             SHED WAS  FIXED OVER
                     SAIE  PASSAGE

MELLIAN AGH ZAREEN (DEEP AREA OF SA`IE)

1 .  During SAIE (running from safa to  marwa), there is a part which is hilighted by the green tube lights under  the ceiling, is known as "MELLIEN AGH ZAREEN".

2 .  Originally it was a deep area between "Safa and Marwa" mounts. When Syeda Hajira ran from "Safa to Marwa" in search of water, She kept her eyes over her beloved son - infant Syedna Ismail , who was lying & weeping due to intense thirst on the hot surface near kabba but when she reached in the deep area, the child became disappeared, she accelerated her pace and reached on the top where from she could again watch her child. Action of loving mother is so much liked and appreciated by Almighty Allah that he ordered pilgrims to run faster in this deep area so that the memories of syeda Hajir might be repeated till the day of judgement.

3 .  Because of modern construction of Haram, no one can determine this deep area as now every thing is in level. For pilgrims this area is hilighted by green tube lights.

4 .Male pilgrims must run fast in this area where as females must walk in normal way.

MUTAF

1 .  The rounded area of Masjid-ul-Haram where KABA is situated and faithful keep moving around it, is called "MUTAF".

2 .  It is God blessed Area  where thousands of Muslims worship Allah in shape of Tawaf and salat .

4 .  Its lighting system is wonderful. Nobody can realize when sun sets and artificial lights cover whole the things.

5 .  Once, when Syeda Khateja was not married with Muhammad (S.A.W) and her husband was ABI-HAHLA, some kuffar were teasing and hurting, beloved Prophet Muhammad  (S.A.W) in Mutaf Area. When  ABI-HALA saw, he came to help Syedna Muhammad (S.A.W). Kuffar left the Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) but killed (shaheed) Syedna HARIS ( may Allah pleased him). It was the first blood of Islam which made Mutaf soil red. We all, muslim can feel grout to the fate of Haris Bin ABI HALA (may Allah pleased him) who sacrificed his life for the sake of most pious man of the universe on the most pious soil of the earth.
