Jamaraat
Jamaraat refers to the three pillars located in Mina, near Mecca, Saudi Arabia, where pilgrims participating in the Hajj ritual throw stones as part of the symbolic act of stoning the devil. This practice represents the rejection of evil and temptation, commemorating the actions of the Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) when he resisted the devil's temptation.
During the Hajj, pilgrims gather at Jamaraat on specific days to throw pebbles at the pillars, which symbolize the devil. This act is a significant part of the pilgrimage, emphasizing faith and obedience to God. The site is equipped to handle large crowds, ensuring the safety and organization of the ritual.
