Who is Mount Safa?

Mount Safa is like a special hill that helps people remember something important.

Mount Safa is one of the hills near the city of Mecca. It’s not very tall, just like the small hill behind your school playground. But it has an important job in a big tradition called Hajj, which is like a special kind of journey that people take to show they are connected.

Imagine you and your friends start a race at the beginning of the school year, and every time you meet up, you remember where it all began. That’s what people do on Mount Safa, they go there to remember the start of their journey or to say goodbye before moving forward.

Sometimes people stand on Mount Safa and shout out loud so everyone can hear them, like when you call out your name in a game of tag, just to make sure you’re noticed. It's a way to feel closer to something bigger, like family or tradition.

So even though it’s just a hill, Mount Safa is a reminder of where people start and how they stay connected to what matters most.
