Easy Actions Equal in Reward to Hajj
In the Name of Allâh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
Muslim reported that the Prophet, sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam said, "…Hasn't Allah made for you Salat Al-`Ishaa' in congregation equal to Hajj,
and the Fajr prayer in congregation equal to `Umrah." "Whoever walks to an obligatory prayer in congregation, it is like Hajj, and
whoever walks to a voluntary prayer, it is like a voluntary `Umrah." (Saheeh
Al Jaami`, 6432) "Whoever prays Fajr in congregation, then sits remembering Allah until the
Sun rises, then prays two units of prayer, he will receive the reward of Hajj,
and `Umrah - complete, complete, complete." (Saheeh Al Jaami`, 6222) It is authentically reported that people said, "O Messenger of Allah! The
rich took the reward of akhirah, they do Hajj and we do not; they engage in
jihaad, and we do not. So the Prophet, sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam, said,
"Shall I not guide you to something that, if you stick to it, you will come with
what is better than what one of them will come with: that you say Allahu Akbar
34 times, and Subhan Allah 33 times, and Alhamdulillah 33 times, at the end of
every prayer." "When one prays for one's brother, the angel says: 'Amin, and for you the
same.'" (Saheeh Al Jaami`, 2143) So pray for your brother pilgrim that Allah
accepts his Hajj and gives him its reward.
