It is a superstition which can be traced to the Old Testament according to which Abraham used to stone at the Devil. It has become a ritual for the pilgrims at Mecca to stone at the pillar which represents the devil. Muslims are more superstitious than their counterparts among the Christians who prefer to see the Bible in the light of recent scientific truths rather go blindly by what is written centuries back by ignorant people.

No if you believe in a fictitious creature called the " Devil ". Then again if you believe in a fiction and do so fully aware that it is a fiction, you have officially declared yourself off limits to reason. Then again if you believe in a fiction without knowing that it is a fiction, you're perfectly alright. You're just mentally ill.

All religions in the world cannot be devoid of what seems to others as superstition. They only differ on the intensity and digree of superstition. Some religions, such as Hinduism, is amessed, in the eyes of other believers, in superstition. Islam, the youngest of world religions, is probably the less being so. All in alll, however, all religions are basically connected in one way or another with "superstition".

Yes, it's a superstition, but what do you expect from people who have been fooled by a pedophile into thinking that pagan moon god allah was the true God of the Bible?

At Mina Pilgrims throw seven stones at pillars called Jamaraat. These represent the devil. The pillars stand at three spots where Satan is believed to have tempted the Prophet Abraham (pbuh).
Prophet Abraham (pbuh) threw stones at the devil, this is a reinactment really. Nothing superstitious.

It's symbolic and just a ritual, and if you want to talk about superstition, for an atheist, isn't the whole religion in the first place just superstition for you? So if you do not believe how would you understand?

It is part of the re-enactment in remembrance of Abraham son Ishmael's action when he threw stone at Satan at the same spots who was telling Ishmael that actually his father was taking him to slaughter him. At each spot Ishmael will tell him that it is Allah's will and that he (Ishmael) submit to it and will throw stone at the cursed Satan.
Remembrance an act of devotion is not superstition. When it is done this way, it becomes an act of worship to God to recognize willingness of Ishmael to give such a big sacrifice..

First off, all religious rituals are superstitious practice. This particular practice I consider marvelous. Everyone is throwing stones at the devil. a pretty cool idea.
This ritual makes much more sense than the practice of receiving Communion. receiving the body and blood of Jesus is like cannibalism in effigy. I would rather toss a few stones!
