We're not going to get lengthy articles on each of Safa and Marwah; also, given the fact that they are almost exclusively referred to together, this should be sufficient justification for the name change. ---Mpatel (talk) 17:00, August 26, 2005 (UTC)

Distances [edit]

The distances shown appear to be incorrect. Safa is closer to the Kaaba than Marwah [1] [2]. I don't want to do original research by measuring them out on a map — maybe someone can find better distance references. --Cam 12:57, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

Alternative view I deleted the details regarding the alternative view. A brief mention is sufficient, and moreover the exposition of the alternative view was less than clear. It conflated the Arabic roots s-f-w and s-f-f and misrepresented Qur'an 2:158, among other problems. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.141.167.56 (talk) 05:54, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

As-Safa and Al-Marwah [edit]

The Term "Al Safa" is not proper Arabic, is it? See: Sun and moon letters. 62.65.135.34 (talk) 10:42, 7 November 2011 (UTC)
