Rami al-جمرات(رَمْي الجَمَرَات) Rami al-جمرات is the حج ritual of throwing pebbles at stone pillars (جمرات) in منیٰ. It commemorates Prophet Ibrahim's rejection of Shaytan's temptation and is a Wajib act of حج.
رَمْي الجَمَرَات
Rami al-جمرات takes place in منیٰ over the final days of حج and symbolizes Prophet Ibrahim's defiance when Shaytan tried to dissuade him from obeying Allah's command to sacrifice his son. Ibrahim threw stones at Shaytan at three locations, now marked by the جمرات pillars. On the 10th of Dhul Hijjah (Yawm al-Nahr), only Jamrat al-Aqabah (the largest) is stoned with seven pebbles, saying 'Bismillah, Allahu Akbar' with each throw. On each of the Days of Tashreeq (11th, 12th, and optionally 13th), all three جمرات are stoned in order: first al-Sughra (small), then al-Wusta (middle), then al-Aqabah (large), with seven pebbles each. After stoning the small and middle pillars, the حاجی faces the Qiblah and makes دعا. The modern جمرات Bridge is a multi-level structure designed to manage the massive crowds safely. Pebbles should be slightly larger than a chickpea and can be collected from مزدلفہ or anywhere in the Haram.
