The actual stoning of the devil in Mina. They have been stoning the devil for thousands of years, yet the devil is still living with them

About two million pilgrims have made the symbolic stoning of the devil in Mecca, the last rites of the annual pilgrimage.

The ceremony heralds the start of the Eid Al Adha feast, according to Gulf News

Muslims on the annual hajj pilgrimage, one of the five pillars of Islam, made their way across the Mina valley of the western Saudi Arabian Makkah province, many carrying pebbles in plastic bottles.

Pilgrims clad in white threw seven stones each at a pillar symbolising satan, shouting “Allahu akbar” (“God is greatest”) under the watchful eyes of security forces.

Large fans sprayed water over the crowd as temperatures climbed to 44 degrees Celsius.

“Thank God it hasn’t been too crowded this year. There hasn’t been a big rush,” said Mohammea Osman, 27, who regularly attends hajj.



Mina was the site of a 2015 stampede which saw more than 2,300 pilgrims crushed or suffocated to death.

Authorities have since reinforced more stringent safety and security measures.

“We are under God’s protection,” said May Khalifa, a 37-year-old Egyptian Muslim living in Riyadh.

“Despite the exhaustion, I’m enjoying my first hajj,” she said, lifting her small bag of stones.

Roads from Muzdalifah – another holy site where pilgrims spent Monday night – to Mina were littered with plastic water bottles as sanitation workers scrambled to remove them.

Bangladeshi Moueeneddine Ahmad, 35, complained of the scorching heat but said he was “very excited” to take part in the stoning of the devil ritual.


Pilgrims streaming to the Jamraat for stoning of the devil. They stoned the devil every year and he is still alive and kicking.

In keeping with customs he said he would then “shave his head” and trade the white seamless robe he wore for the hajj for his “normal clothes”.

Ahmad also praised the Saudi government for keeping the peace throughout the hajj.

“There’s a lot of security. Very disciplined,” he said.



Tens of thousands of security forces, including police and civil defence, have been deployed for hajj, according to Saudi authorities.

Saudi Arabia’s King Salman made the trip to Mina on Tuesday and was seen on state-run television observing worshippers from the window of a high-rise.

And in a rare move he took to Twitter to say it was a “great honour” to welcome the pilgrims to Saudi Arabia.

The hajj is one of the world’s largest Muslim gatherings and drew this year nearly 2.4 million pilgrims to Saudi holy sites.

The hajj retraces the steps of the Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) on his last pilgrimage to Makkah.

It is one of the five pillars of Islam which every Muslim is required to complete at least once in their lifetime if they are healthy enough and have the means to do so.

Muslim tradition holds that pilgrims must throw seven stones at a pillar representing satan on the first day of Eid Al Adha, which comes after two days of prayer and meditation.

Muslims traditionally slaughter sheep for the three-day Eid Al Adha, a tribute to the prophet Abraham’s sacrifice of a lamb after God spared Ishael, his son.

They will consume some of the meat and give the rest to poor people unable to buy food.

Pilgrims can purchase coupons from the Saudi government, which organises the slaughter and freezing of the meat to avoid public health problems.

Revenues from the coupons are considered “zakat”, or a charity donation, another pillar of Islam.

How about those that ''match am match am''?
Those that spend nights binding and casting ,
Millions of mosques, churches , different religion with almost the same devil , yet this dude seem so alive...
The mind is a big force that connects deeply with both physical and deeper things and sometimes build on them...
The devil ''is'' that evil thought.
That evil/wicked man who loves hate.
That kidnapper, deceitful politician, conman pastor , tribalist person, thief, unrepentant murderer , terrorist.
N.b - When one dies , another is born . They all gather to pray against the devil as a noun and not their Act . As washing of bodies, a few words of repentance and rituals make them fit to fight The devil but not to fight their own devil because they are holy, returning to their vomit ...

how can you use a physical weapon to fight a spirit being. the earlier we understand these thing the better and now somenpeoplr will stones themselves to death. IREFUSE TO BE A MUMU IN THIS AGE AND YHR THE AGE TO COME

Its only God and faithful Christians that have power over Stan and all his angels

If this gets to fp, D poster above me wl receiv 2million mentions today...

Because the devil lives only in our minds.

But Satan We Trust (S.W.T) has been alive for 1400 years and has survived billions of stonings. It seems that MOOslims are fighting a war of attrition with him. Every year they show up at Mecca hoping they will kill him, but every year he disappoints them.
That's satan for you. Always falling people's hands.

Hmmm Op don't mock Islamic religion ooooo... Devil isn't a soft meat now

Be patient. He is dying slowly

lol
We are enslaved with religion. We overdo it more than the pioneers. And our mindset determines our life settings.

Thats cos they are stoning the wrong person..
Buhari is the real devil.

Boomerang stone

Instead of killing the devil once and for all. Y'all be stoning him. Why? Smh

Who told you the devil waits to be stoned? The headline peddles ignorance.

Yes, that is why Catholic Priests sleep with boys.

OP you are full of ignorance.

These events are called 'rites', as such, these ritual activities are common to all religions.

Bring out your father, we shall stone him. Only a devil can give birth to a demonic nincompoop like you.

God created the devil too

Isn’t this blasphemy?

Hahahahahaha!!!!

This shii is funny as fvck.
How the human brain descends to this level is still a mystery to me...

Wherever you are, I will search for you, abduct you and take you to Yaba Psychiatric Hospital before you start stoning your family.

OP. Muslims are coming for you ooo.

P.S, I believe in God, the father almighty and in Jesus Christ his begotten son who died for our sins and was resurrected on the third day.

I am not a Muslim.

Seun please take note!!!

Satan will be like

efesu ori kefa,ese kejila wipe,"12Nítorí kì í ṣe eniyan ni à ń bá jagun, bíkòṣe àwọn ẹ̀mí burúkú ojú ọ̀run, àwọn aláṣẹ ati àwọn alágbára òkùnkùn ayé yìí.13Nítorí èyí, ẹ gbé gbogbo ihamọra Ọlọrun wọ̀, kí ẹ lè dìde dúró láti jà nígbà tí ọjọ́ ibi bá dé. Nígbà tí ìjà bá sì dópin, kí ẹ lè wà ní ìdúró.

They will all go to hell,Muhammad is there waiting

To see these things and see notable, popular, and intelligent people participate in such makes me lose hope on humanity

Article reeks of ignorance. Not suprised, it's a tabliod that only sells by spurning stories

The stoning of the devil is just a symbolic act and not about stonning any devil. This is just a repeat of what the Prophet Ibrahim did as at then.

It's just like pouring water on a new Bride's leg as a prayer that she has a peaceful marriage. Does that mean you have actually ensured peace in that marriage with that singular act?

I guess we can do better than writing nonsensical stories to bait people and as for the mods pushing such stories. I am also not suprised at that. You have to earn your money.. anything goes I guess.
