Main article: Stoning of the Devil
At Mina the pilgrims perform Ramy al-Jamarat, throwing stones to signify their defiance of the Devil. This symbolizes the trials experienced by Abraham while he was going to sacrifice his son as demanded by Allah. The Devil challenged him three times, and three times Abraham refused. Each pillar marks the location of one of these refusals. On the first occasion when Ramy al-Jamaratis performed, pilgrims stone the largest pillar known as Jamrat'al'Aqabah.[15] Pilgrims climb ramps to the multi-levelled Jamaraat Bridge, from which they can throw their pebbles at the jamarat. On the second occasion, the other pillars are stoned. The stoning consists of throwing seven pebbles.[3] Because of the crowds, in 2004 the pillars were replaced by long walls, with catch basins below to collect the pebbles.
