On Saturday, June 7, amid tight security and scorching heat, waves of worshippers moved in organized groups toward the Jamarat complex in Mina, where they pelted the three pillars—representing the small, medium, and large devil—with seven pebbles each. The ritual, known as Ramy al-Jamarat, reenacts Prophet Ibrahim’s rejection of Satan’s temptations. Hajj, one of the five pillars of Islam, is a religious duty for financially and physically capable Muslims at least once in their lifetime. This year’s pilgrimage draws over two million worshippers from across the globe. Eid al-Adha, or the "Festival of Sacrifice," commemorates Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son Ismail in obedience to God. The stoning ritual coincides with the three-day Tashreeq period, during which pilgrims also perform animal sacrifices in honor of the occasion. Pilgrims will repeat the stoning on the third day of Eid before returning to Mecca for farewell circumambulation (Tawaf al-Wada). Saudi authorities have deployed extensive crowd control measures to ensure safety amid the massive gatherings. Writing by Sibel Uygun
