27 Mayıs 2026Al Jazeera

More than a million Muslim pilgrims are participating in the stone-throwing ritual on the third day of Hajj. This significant event is a key component of the pilgrimage, symbolizing the rejection of evil.
Pilgrims gather at the Jamarat Bridge to throw stones at three pillars, representing the devil.
Hajj is one of the five pillars of Islam and takes place annually in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. The stone-throwing ritual occurs during the last days of the pilgrimage, marking a culmination of various rites that symbolize purification and devotion.
The stone-throwing ritual, known as Rami al-Jamarat, is not just a physical act but carries deep spiritual significance for the pilgrims. It reflects the broader themes of faith, sacrifice, and the communal experience of Hajj, which is one of the largest annual gatherings in the world.
