1. The month of Zulhijjah, 
2. Fasting during the first 10 days of Zulhijjah (puasa 10 hari pertama Zulhijjah) leading up to the hajj rites (in Masya'iril Haram) and the Aidiladha celebrations,
3. The Hajj pilgrimage
4. Animal sacrifice in relation to the hajj; in remembrance of the incidence between Prophet Ibrahim a.s. and his son Prophet Ismail a.s., and how every drop of blood that drops to the ground portrays cleansing of one's sins.
