Of worship and rituals performed at Al Masjid al Ḩarām are as follows:

1. Tawaf: Tawaf is the act of circumambulating the Kaaba, which is the black cubic structure located at the center of the mosque. Pilgrims walk around the Kaaba seven times in a counterclockwise direction, expressing their devotion and submission to Allah.

2. Salah: Salah, or prayer, is performed in congregation at Al Masjid al Ḩarām. Muslims offer their daily prayers, including the obligatory five prayers (Fajr, Dhuhr, Asr, Maghrib, and Isha), as well as additional voluntary prayers.

3. Sa'i: Sa'i is the act of walking between the hills of Safa and Marwah, which are located near the Kaaba. This ritual commemorates the search for water by Hajar (Hagar), the wife of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham), when she was left in the desert with their infant son Ismail (Ishmael).

4. Maqam Ibrahim: Maqam Ibrahim is a stone structure located near the Kaaba, which contains an imprint of the footprints of Prophet Ibrahim. It is a place of reverence, and pilgrims offer prayers near it.

5. Zamzam Well: The Zamzam Well is located within the premises of Al Masjid al Ḩarām. It is believed to be a miraculously created well by Allah for Hajar and Ismail when they were in need of water. Pilgrims often drink from this well and take some water with them as a blessed souvenir.

6. Mount Arafat: Although Mount Arafat is not part of Al Masjid al Ḩarām, it is a significant location during the Hajj pilgrimage. Pilgrims gather on the plains of Arafat on the 9th day of the Islamic month of Dhu al-Hijjah, seeking forgiveness, supplicating to Allah, and listening to sermons.

These acts of worship and rituals hold great importance in the lives of Muslims, as they symbolize the unity, devotion, and submission to Allah.
