'''Jamara''' ({{Ia|الجَمَرَة}}) means a heap of stones,  and its plural is Jamarat ({{Ia|الجَمَرات}}). The three Jamaras are located in [[Mina]], near [[Mecca]]. It is said that it was here that Adam (a) forced away Satan, who was chasing him by throwing pebbles. Following this tradition, the pilgrims throw stones at each Jamara on 10<sup>th</sup> and 12<sup>th</sup> days of Hajj rituals. (see: [[Ramy al-Jamarat]])
