Hajj me Shaitan ko Pathar kiu marty hen | Stoning the devil | Rami Al Jamarat | Meezan
Muslims throw stones at the Devil in Hajj as a symbolic reenactment of the story of Ibrahim (Abraham) and his son Ismail (Ishmael). According to Islamic tradition, the Devil tried to prevent Ibrahim from sacrificing his son, but Ibrahim was able to resist the Devil's temptation. The throwing of stones at the Devil is a way for Muslims to symbolically reject temptation and to reaffirm their faith in Allah.
The stoning of the Devil takes place in the Mina valley, which is located about 5 kilometers (3 miles) east of the Kaaba in Mecca. The pilgrims throw stones at three pillars, which represent the three times that the Devil tried to tempt Ibrahim. The first pillar is called Jamarat al-Aqabah, the second is called Jamarat al-Wusta, and the third is called Jamarat al-Ula.
The stoning of the Devil is one of the most important rituals of Hajj. It is a time for Muslims to reflect on their own spiritual journey and to reaffirm their commitment to Allah. The throwing of stones is also a way for Muslims to show their defiance of the Devil and their determination to live a life of virtue.
