Why do Muslims throw stones at the three physical pillars? Answer:Muslims do that during one of the most important five principles of Islam; Hajj (pilgrimage). As Islam is one of the Abrahamic religions, Judaism-Christianity-Islam, Muslims follow the Prophet Abrahams steps and in simulation for what happened thousands of years ago when God commanded the Prophet Abraham to sacrifice his son, but the devil tried to dissuade Prophet Abraham from his intention to do so and tried to make him disobeying God three times. So every time the devil comes to Prophet Abraham to dissuade him Prophet Abraham would throw stones at the devil until God blessed Prophet Abraham and sent the scapegoat and relieved Prophet Abraham from the mission he was ordered to accomplish. And in a very nice symbolic action Muslims do that every year by throwing stones at symbolic physical pillars as if they are fighting devils temptations in order to reach Gods blessings and mercy. wiki.answers/Q/Why_do_Muslims_throw_stones_at_the_three_physical_pillars Why do Christians travel to Jerusalems Wailing Wall to wail? The Western Wall in the midst of the Old City in Jerusalem is the section of the Western supporting wall of the Temple Mount which has remained intact since the destruction of the Second Jerusalem Temple (70 C.E.). It became the most sacred spot in Jewish religious and national consciousness and tradition by virtue of its proximity to the Western Wall of the Holy of Holies in the Temple, from which, according to numerous sources, the Divine Presence never departed. It became a center of mourning over the destruction of the Temple and Israels exile, on the one hand, and of religious - in 20th century also national - communion with the memory of Israels former glory and the hope for its restoration, on the other. Because of the former association, it became known in European languages as the Wailing Wall. Have a calm and dispassionate appraisal of the above and see how we help others promote their cultures, traditions and religions.
