Wudu involves washing parts of the body as a ritual purification in Islam before prayer. Ihram refers to the special clothing worn during Hajj and Umrah, which is simple and avoids attracting attention. Tawaf is circling the Kaaba seven times counter-clockwise as part of the Hajj and Umrah pilgrimages, representing unity in worship. Sa'y involves walking between the hills of Safa and Marwa seven times to search for water, reenacting Hagar's search.

Hajj Rituals and Celebrations
1.
2. Wudu
Wuḍūʾ (Arabic: الوضوء al-wuḍūʼ [wʊˈdˤuːʔ])
-the Islamic procedure for washing parts of
the body, a type of ritual purification. Wudu
involves washing the hands, mouth, nostrils,
arms, head and feet with water and is an
important part of ritual purity in Islam.
3. IHRAM
-clothing (Ahram clothing) includes men's and
women's garments worn by Muslim people
during the Ihram pilgrimage (Hajj) and or
(umrah). The main objective is to avoid
attracting attention. Men's garments often
consist of two white un-hemmed sheets
(usually towelling material) and are universal
in appearance.
4. TAWAF
Tawaf (Arabic: طواف ,Ṭawāf; literally going about)
is one of the Islamic rituals of pilgrimage. During
the Hajj and Umrah, Muslims are to go around
the Kaaba (the most sacred site in Islam) seven
times, in a counterclockwise direction.
The first three circuits at a hurried pace on the
outer part of the crowd, followed by four times
closer to the Kaaba at a leisurely pace.
The circling is believed to demonstrate the unity
of the believers in the worship of the One God, as
they move in harmony together around the
Kaaba, while supplicating to God.
5. SA’Y
• When completing the tawaf prayer in Ibrahim's
position, you must go to "Masa" which is the space
between the mountains of Safa and Marwa (it
encompasses about 1/4 mile).
• "Run" between those two mountains seven times.
Start at the top of Safa. Part of the path is at the
level of Kaaba where you should do the "harwala".
Next, you walk normally to the foot of Marwa.
• Sa'y is a search. It is a movement with an aim. It is
depicted by running and hurrying. During tawaf
(circumambulation) you acted as Hajar. In Ibrahim's
position you acted as Ibrahim and Ismail. Once you
begin "trying" (Sa'y) you are acting as Hajar again.
6. ARAFAH
Arafah prayer. As Husayn ibn Ali recited the
prayer during the Hajj at Mount Arafah on 9
Dhu al-Hijjah, Muslims during the Hajj recite
the Arafah prayer from Zuhr prayer to sunset.
This day is called prayer day, specially for
people who stand on Mount Arafah.
7. MINA
The Stoning of the Devil (Arabic: الجمرات رمي ramī al-jamarāt) is part of
the annual Islamic Hajj pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca in Saudi
Arabia. During the ritual, Muslim pilgrims throw pebbles at three walls
(formerly pillars), called jamarāt, in the city of Mina just east of Mecca.
It is one of a series of ritual acts that must be performed in the Hajj. It
is a symbolic reenactment of Abraham's hajj, where he stoned three
pillars representing the temptation to disobey God and preserve
Ishmael.
On Eid al-Adha (the 10th day of the month of Dhu al-Hijjah), pilgrims
must strike only one of the three jamraat; specifically, the larger one;
with seven pebbles. After the stoning is completed on the day of Eid,
every pilgrim must cut or shave their hair. On each of the following
two days, they must hit each of the three walls with seven pebbles,
going in order from east to west. Thus at least 49 pebbles are needed
for the ritual, more if some throws miss. Some pilgrims stay at Mina for
an additional day, in which case they must again stone each wall seven
times. The pebbles used in the stoning are traditionally gathered at
Muzdalifah, a plain southeast of Mina, on the night before the first
throwing, but can also be collected at Mina.
8. SACRIFICE
According to religious law a castrated animal
may be sacrificed, however the only animals
ritually slaughtered in Mina are uncastrated
males.
