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)

[edit] Distances

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)
