"Stoning the Devil" is one of the rituals Muslims perform on their pilgrimage to Mecca. The pilgrimage, called a Hajj, is taken by Muslims, as one of the Five Pillars of Islam. On their way to Mecca the Muslims pass through the city of Minas, east of Mecca. They fling pebbles at three walls called Jamarat, as symbolically stoning Satan.

The Qibla WallThe Prayer Wall, as it is sometimes called, is one of the most important areas of the mosque. In the photo of Magribija above, it is the wall on the right-hand side.This wall is very specifically orientated, and that is why mosques often seem misplaced as they face a completely different direction than the other buildings on the same street. It's also why, when you view a Muslim city from the air, all mosques are pointing in the same direction regardless of the countless directions all the other buildings in the city face.The mosque itself points towards Mecca, and if you picture the direction to Mecca as a straight line - then the Prayer Wall is the wall of the mosque that cuts across the top of it like the top of a letter 'T'. So that wall faces in the direction of Mecca
