The term "safa" refers to a concept in Islamic tradition that signifies purity and cleanliness. It is often associated with the act of performing wudu, which is the ritual washing before prayers. Maintaining safa is considered essential for spiritual and physical well-being in Islam. In a broader context, "safa" can also refer to the Safa and Marwah, two hills located in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Pilgrims performing the Hajj or Umrah rituals walk between these hills as part of the Sa'i ritual, symbolizing the search for sustenance and guidance.
