Clarifying the Hajj: No Running Between Hills in Mecca

There is a common misconception that Muslims run between two hills in Mecca. In reality, the Hajj pilgrimage includes the Tawaf—circling the Kaaba seven times—and the Sa'i, which involves walking (not running) between the hills of Safa and Marwah seven times, commemorating Hagar's search for water. There is no ritual that requires running in the middle of specific hills.
