Jamaraat

The Jamaraat are three stone pillars located in Mina, near Mecca, representing the spots where Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham) is believed to have confronted the devil. During the Hajj pilgrimage, Muslims perform the ritual of "Ramy al-Jamarat," where they throw small stones at these pillars to symbolize rejecting evil and temptation. This act signifies spiritual commitment and obedience to God's commands, commemorating Ibrahim's steadfastness. The ritual is a key part of the Hajj and emphasizes the importance of faith, discipline, and rejection of negative influences.
