Jamraat

Jamraat

The three stone pillars in Mina which symbolically represent the locations where the devil (shaitan) is stated in tradition to have tried to tempt Prophet Ibrahim in an effort to dissuade him from the path of Allah. The pilgrim symbolically stones these pillars on the 10th through the 13th of Zul Hijjah in commemoration of the rejection of the devil by Prophet Ibrahim, and of his steadfastness to the cause of Allah. The Jamraat are located within a few hundred feet of one another in a line and are named as follows:

a. Jamrat ul Kubra

The last stone pillar in the line. This is also called Jamrat ul Uqabah.

 

b. Jamrat ul Oola

The first stone pillar in the line.

 

c. Jamrat ul Wusta

The second (middle) stone pillar in the line.
