Whilst on Hajj (Pilgrimage-The Religious Journey A Muslim must take) one of the things Muslims do is collect stones and throw them at thee pillars. These three pillars represent the devil so the throwing of stones symbolises not giving in to evil and resisting temptation. In other words, telling the devil they believe in God and not him.

The young boy replied that he should do according to the command of Allah Karim. Hazrat Abraham (AS) took Hazrat Ismaieel (AS) to the valley of Mina to sacrifice him.
