Symbolic Significance Of Sa’I Between Safa And Marwa
@Irfan76 Dear Sir, in a thread about Sa’i between Safa and Marwa (Discussion 85914), you replied that it is a symbolic representation of an ancient ritual: in the past, the sacrificial animal would be circled around the temple and altar of God before sacrifice. What is the source of this interpretation? Actually, your reference to an ancient practice raises a point of confusion. The act of circumambulating the Ka’bah (the Tawaf) is distinct from the Sa’i, and the Tawaf is linked to the worship of God, not the Sa’i. The Tawaf around the Ka’bah is indeed a symbolic representation of the devotion of believers, and it may be seen as echoing ancient rituals where people circled sacred objects or altars in reverence. However, the Sa’i between Safa and Marwa does not seem to be directly related to the act of circling a sacrificial animal. Instead, it seems to be a symbolic act of perseverance and faith in the face of hardship. It may not be about the physical act of sacrificing ourselves, but rather it may represent the idea of striving, working hard for a goal, and trusting in God’s mercy and provision. Need your kind guidance and clarification.

Its historical reference comes from the bible. Animals were made to circle around the altar before they were sacrificed. The same ritual is kept for Marwa which is the altar adjacent to Kaabah.
