Morocco: 87 (media reports) Egypt: 55 Niger: 22 Cameroon: 21 Ivory Coast: 14 Chad: 11 Somalia: 8 (media reports) Algeria: 8 Senegal: 5 Libya: 4 Tanzania: 4 Kenya: 3 Burkina Faso: 1 (Muslim association report) Burundi: 1 Tunisia: 1 Nigeria: 54 It was the deadliest incident to hit the Hajj in 25 years. At least 769 pilgrims died in the crush, more than 200 of whom are believed to be from Africa. The crush appears to have been caused when pilgrims converged at a junction in Mina, near Mecca, in Saudi Arabia on Thursday morning. The pilgrims were taking part in the Hajj's last major rite - throwing stone at pillars called Jamarat, where Satan is believed to have tempted the Prophet Abraham. The chairman of Nigeria's National Hajj Commission Abdullahi Mukhtar confirmed the numbers but said some pilgrims were missing, meaning the final death toll could rise. The nationality with the highest number of deaths, with at least 140 dead, is Iran. Source: The BBC |

@Mowa... It is a symbolic Place for where the Devil met Abraham and his family. Muslims Hajj are rituals aim at re-living the life experience of Abraham (Prophet Ibrahim), whom God gave the Title "Father of all Nations" for his firm believe and commitments to God. One of Abraham's greatest test was his dream that he sacrificed his Son. Because then, Dreams where means of inspiration from God , he set forth to put the command of sacrificing his only son. On his way to the intended slaughter sight. The devil appeared to him in form of an old man, advising him against sacrificing his son, reminding him of the long years he waited before he finally got his son, Abraham because of his will and faith, sought refuge from God against the devil and stoned him. The Devil went on separately to his wife and son and they both also did same thing; stoning the devil, those places where the devil was stoned by each one of them, are now where symbolic structures are erected. Called the JAMARAT in Arabic Muslims as part of Hajj Rites pass through those sites and re-enact the stoning as a mark of them denouncing the devil in their entity and life.. |
