When Abraham was taking his son to be sacrificed, as God had commanded, Satan came to Abraham three times and tried to convince him not to do it. Abraham rejected Satan and threw stones at him to drive him away. The pillars in Mina - near Mecca - represent Satan. Muslims throw stones at them in three different places in rememberance of Abraham. www.freequran.org
