How many stones are thrown at the Jamarat in Hajj ritual?

A. 5 Stones
B. 6 Stones
C. 7 Stones
D. 8 Stones

Seven stones are thrown at each of the three pillars to commemorate Ibrahim’s rejection of Satan.
Rami al-Jamarat (Arabic: رمي الجمرات; meaning “stoning of the Jamarat”), sometimes referred to as the “Stoning of the Devil” is a rite carried out by Hajj pilgrims whereby small pebbles are thrown at three stone structures in Mina. The act of throwing stones at the Jamarat is known as “Rami”.
The Significance of Rami al-Jamarat
The ritual of Rami is a symbolic reenactment of the actions of Ibrahim S when he was faced with the trial of having to sacrifice his son, Ismail S (other narrations mention it was Ishaq S). In a dream, Ibrahim was commanded to perform the sacrifice to which he responded with unwavering reliance and trust in the will of Allah.
On the way to carry out the commandment, Shaytan repeatedly sought to tempt him into ignoring the command. As Ibrahim reached Jamarah al-Aqaba (i.e. the location where Jamarah al-Aqaba is today), Shaytan attempted to dissuade him. Ibrahim, who was accompanied by Jibril S, was instructed by the archangel to throw seven stones at Shaytan. He obliged and Shaytan fled immediately. Ibrahim then went to Jamarah al-Wusta where Shaytan appeared again. Ibrahim once again threw stones at him and Shaytan fled. He then went to Jamarah al-Ula where Shaytan appeared. Ibrahim threw stones at him once more which led to Shaytan fleeing for the third and final time.
Each time, he resisted temptation, remaining steadfast in his intention to do as he was commanded. As Ibrahim was preparing to sacrifice his son, he was spared from having to carry out the command at the last moment and was provided with a sacrificial animal as a substitute.
The Jamarat (Pillars)

There are three Jamarat which are known as:
Jamarah al-Aqaba or Jamarah al-Kubra (the big pillar).
Jamarah al-Wusta (the medium or middle pillar).
Jamarah al-Ula or al-Sugra (the small pillar).
The distance between the first and second pillars is about 150 metres and the distance between the second and third pillars is about 120 metres.
The Jamarat indicate the three places where Shaytan tried to dissuade Ibrahim S from carrying out the divine instruction that he had received. Therefore, the pillars are not the actual Shaytan as some are led to believe, but mark the places where Ibrahim was tested by the whisperings of Shaytan.

Real name of Abu Jehal was___________?

A. Umer bin Hisham
B. Talha bin Zubair
C. Hanzla bin Umair
D. Abdullah bin ubai

• Abu Jahal’s actual name was Amr ibn Hisham but he was commonly known as Abu Hakam (“Father of Wisdom”) among the Quraysh as he was considered a wise man. His relentless hostility and belligerence towards Islam earned him the name Abu Jahal (Father of Ignorance) among the Muslims. He was a member of the Banu Makhzum clan of the Quraysh.
• Abu Jahal was not a real uncle of the Prophet (ﷺ) [not his father’s real brother] but his father’s cousin. He was a staunch polytheist and greatly disliked the Prophet (ﷺ), taking any opportunity to rebuke and publicly humiliate him.
• He was one of the greatest persecutors of the Muslims. When a Muslim convert was discovered among the hierarchy of a tribe, Abu Jahal would reprimand the convert and then ridicule him in front of his fellow tribesmen so he would lost their respect. When he discovered a trader had converted to Islam he gave orders that no one should engage in business with him. As a result, the convert trader was unable to sell his wares and became impoverished.
• Convert slaves belonging to the polytheist Quraysh received the harshest punishment. Abu Jahal beat Harithah bint al-Muammil (رضي الله عنها), one such slave, for her conversion to such an extent that she lost her eyesight. He attacked Sumayyah bint Khayyaṭ, the mother of Ammar (رضي الله عنه) and inflicted on her mortal wounds by stabbing her with a spear in her private parts. This blessed lady was the first to meet martyrdom in the cause of Islam.
• When Umar (رضي الله عنه) embraced Islam, he was determined to announce his new faith to the Prophet’s (ﷺ) enemies and the first place he went to was the house of Abu Jahal. Umar (رضي الله عنه) knocked on his door, Abu Jahal came out and greeted him,“Welcome! What brings you here?”
  “I have come to tell you that I have embraced the religion of Allah and His Messenger, Muhammad,” Umar calmly stated.
  Abu Jahal heard this and disgustedly said, “May God ruin you and what you have brought!” and slammed the door shut.
