So when she delivered she said, "My Lord, I have delivered a female," and God is fully aware of what she delivered, "The male is not like the female, and I have named her Mary, and I seek refuge for her and her progeny with You from the outcast devil."

[3:36] The Arabic root of the word we translated as "the rejected" is RaJaMa and it means excommunication or expulsion. We are not sure when the secondary meaning of "stoning" was attached to it, but the Quranic usage of the word is different from its usage in the books of hadith and sectarian jurisprudence. Decades after the revelation of the Quran when muslims reverted back to the days of ignorance, they started using this word literally to "stone" adulterers to death, or literally to "stone" Satan during Hajj. The Quran describes Satan (Perverse) with the word RaJyM (3:36; 15:17; 15:34; 16:98; 38:77; 81:25). Nevertheless, Satan is not stoned but rejected from heaven. Muslims, with the collection of hadith and creation of sects, about two centuries after Muhammed, fully revived the pagan Arab traditions, borrowed superstitions, and backward practices from the distorted teachings of Christianity and Judaism. For instance, while they turned Muhammed's grave into a shrine of idolatry and promoted its visitation among the rituals of annual pilgrimage (Hajj), they also made a mockery of the phrase "rejection of Satan" by innovating the practice of stoning the Satan, as if Satan was a material being. Every year, hundreds of people are injured or killed during the mayhem caused by this absurd ritual. Some pilgrims throw away their shoes or anything they have in their possession to inflict injury to Satan, unfortunately causing injury to their comrades. If Perverse has fun watching humans do stupid things in the name of God, this ritual is most likely to be one of the most fun. With this reversion, they imported the practice of stoning to death and named it RaJM, in direct contradiction to the teachings of the Quran (See 24:1-10). For other usages of the word, RaJaMa, see 11:91; 18:20, 18:22; 19:46; 26:116; 36:18; 44:40; 67:5.
