The ritual of Ramy al-Jamarat occurs in Mina at Mecca. This ritual is known as the "Stoning of the Satan". The Hajjaj (pilgrims) throw stones at three different Hajj pillars that signify, according to Muslim beliefs, the three
locations at which Hazrat Ibrahim (Prophet Abraham) rejected the challenge, thrown at him, by Satan. They must hit each pillar at least
seven times with the stones/pebbles they have picked up in Muzdalifah. The stones must not be bigger than beans, because the larger stones signify exaggerations. The pilgrims call on Allah to acknowledge and
accept their Hajj every time they throw stones/pebbles at one of these pillars.
