THROW JUMROH

MECCA, 8/11 - STONING OF THE DEVIL. Thousands of haj pilgrims are seen entering the site of stoning of the jamarat in Mina, Mecca, Saudi Arabia, November 8, 2011. Casting stones is a part of the procession during the haj pilgrimage, and is done on 10, 11, and 12 Dhu al-Hijjah of the Islamic calendar. It symbolises Prophet Abraham's stoning the devil as a refusal to satan that tempted him not to sacrifice his son Ismail. FOTO ANTARA/Prasetyo Utomo/ss/Spt/ox/11
