Ramee involves throwing small stones at three stone pillars known as the Jamarat. These pillars represent the locations where Satan tried to mislead Prophet Ibrahim (A.S). To show his rejection of Satan whispers, Prophet Ibrahim (A.S) threw stones at him. Muslims follow this symbolic action to express their obedience to Allah and their rejection of evil.

The three Jamarat are:

• Jamarat al-Sughra (the small pillar)


• Jamarat al-Wusta (the middle pillar)


• Jamarat al-Aqaba (the big pillar)

Stoning is performed from the 10th to the 13th of Dhul-Hijjah. On the first day (Eid-ul-Adha), pilgrims throw seven pebbles only at the largest pillar, Jamarat al-Aqaba. On the following days, all three pillars are stoned with seven pebbles each. This act reminds Muslims to fight against their own inner evil, known as the Nafs.

Ramee is not done with anger but with calmness and intention. Each stone is thrown with the remembrance of Allah and with the understanding of the lesson it teaches—resisting temptation and following the command of Allah, just like Prophet Ibrahim (A.S) did.
