Hajj pilgrims symbolically ‘stone devil’ in last major ritual
Pilgrims began heading back to Mina and the Grand Mosque to perform further rites and rituals on the third day of their Hajj pilgrimage and first day of Eid al-Adha on Friday.
Having spent the previous night camped out in the open in Muzdalifah, pilgrims will proceed back to the Mina and Makkah to perform several duties, one of which is the symbolic stoning of the devil ritual.
On Friday, Muslims around the world are also marking one of two Islamic holidays, known in Arabic as Eid al-Adha, commemorating what Muslims believe was Prophet Ibrahim’s willingness to sacrifice his son Ismael as a test of his faith from God.

The GREATEST story of Hajj in Cinematic 3D
The Hajj pilgrimage is undeniably the greatest journey a Muslim will take on his life. A journey of sacrifice, self-discovery, and above all a journey of servitude and obedience to God Almighty.
In case you're wondering how it all began, it all started here in Makkah during the Prophethood of Ibrahim.
