[[[[Do you belive in your bible ,
this was mentiened in you bible , and the story of ZamZam water , which we have it until now . Plus Maqam Ibrahim and Hijer Ishmael is still there until now in Mecca . and the Safa and Maewa is still there as archecological eviedance.]]]
Indeed they are. But as the evidence of what? Here is what the historical record tells us.
The ritual of running between Safa and Marwa is called the "Sa'ee". As mentioned earlier Muslims are taught that this ritual has something to do with Hagar and Ishmael. Besides the geographical impossibility of that view, the pre-Islamic Umra was a ritual of the Arabian Jinn religion that was devoted to the veneration of four idols.
In Islam Jinn are recognized as devils or demons. The idols that were placed on the two stones Safa and Marwa were two statues of Asaf and Naelah. They were the most venerated priests of the Arabian Jinn religion. Asaf was male and Naelah was female. Arabian mythology claims they committed fornication together inside the Kaabah and the gods transformed them into stone statues. (more) Though the idols were removed by Islam, to this day Muslims still run between Safa and Marwa, when practicing Sa'ee. (more)
Safa and Marwa were located on two hills near Mecca, close to the place where Abdel Mutaleb, the grandfather of Mohammed, dug the well of Zamzam and erected the two statues of Asaf and Naelah as the deities of the well. (more) As with so many of Mohammed's acquaintances and family members, his grandfather was very much into the Jinn religion and the occult. (more)
Marching around Safa and Marwa, was a ritual hated by most of Mohammeds companions because they well knew that the Hajj to Safa and Marwa was a pagan rite from Jahiliyah, or the pre-Islam period. In the Hadith we read:
Asem told us that he said to Uns bin Malek, a companion of Mohammed, You were hating to encompass around the Safa and Marwa. He answered, Yes, because it was one of the pagan rites of Jahiliyah until Allah gave a verse that the Safa and Marwa are the rites of Allah. If one makes the Hajj to the Kaabah, he must encompass them. The person has no sin when he encompass them. (Sahih al-Bukhari, 2, page 171)
Perhaps the reason that Allah "gave a verse" continuing this pagan ritual, is because Mohammed wanted to appease the two tribes who most practiced the Jinn religion, and whom Mohammed had pressed into picking up the sword, in the service of his "Allah". Their reward of course, was the property, wives, and children of the vanquished, as "spoils of war - booty". (the title of chapter 8 of the Quran) (more)
"Even Ibn Abbas, the cousin of Mohammed, and the most authoritative reporter of his Hadith, speaks of encompassing the Safa and Marwa as was the custom of the people of Jahiliyah, meaning the pagan Arabians before Islam. His speech is reported in Sahih al-Bukhari." [xl][40] (more)
The tribes of Oas and Khazraj began their Umra Hajj by kissing copies of the statues which were placed on the shore opposite Mecca. They were to walk seven times between these two rocks, then return to Mecca to kiss the two statues of Asaf and Naelah.
