5 Amazing Reward as Hajj and Umrah !

There are several righteous deeds that are equal in reward to Hajj and Umrah. Some of these deeds are:

1. Reciting Dhikr after the five daily prayers

dhikr_sujudAbu Hurayrah may Allaah be pleased with him narrated that a group of poverty stricken people came to the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam and said, “O Messenger of Allaah, the wealthy people will have higher grades and will have permanent enjoyment in high levels in Paradise. They pray like us and fast as we do, but they have more money by which they perform the Hajj, ‘Umrah, participate in Jihaad and give in charity.”The Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam replied: “Shall I not tell you something upon which if you acted you would catch up with those who have surpassed you? Nobody would surpass you and you would be better than the people amongst whom you live except those who would do the same. Say ‘Subhaan Allaah’, ‘Alhamdulillaah’ and ‘Allaahu Akbar’ thirty-three times each after every (compulsory) prayer.’” [Al-Bukhaari]

This means that reciting this Dhikr (words of remembrance) after each prayer equals to Hajj and ‘Umrah for Muslims who cannot perform these acts of worship.

2. Performing the ‘Ishaa’ and Fajr prayers in congregation

Abu Dharr may Allaah be pleased with him narrated that a group of the Companions may Allaah be pleased with them came to the Prophet, sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam and said, “O Messenger of Allaah, the wealthy people will have higher grades and will have permanent enjoyment and they pray like us and fast as we do. They have more money, which they give in charity.”The Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam replied:“Has Allaah not rendered for you the‘Ishaa’ prayer in congregation equal to Hajj, and the Fajr prayer in congregation equal to ‘Umrah?” [Muslim]

3. Performing the Fajr prayer in congregation and staying in the mosque until sunrise to perform the Duha prayer

The Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam said: “Whoever prays the Fajr in congregation, then sits remembering Allaah until the sun rises, then prays two Rak‘ahs, he will receive the rewards of performing complete Hajj and ‘Umrah – he repeated that thrice.” [At-Tirmithi] [Al-Albaani: Saheeh]

4. Attending the congregational prayers at the mosque and walking to the mosque to perform voluntary prayers

The Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam said: “Whoever walks to [perform] an obligatory prayer in congregation, it is like Hajj [in terms of rewards], and whoever walks to [perform] a voluntary prayer, it is like a voluntary ‘Umrah [in terms of rewards].” [Hasan] Walking to the mosque to perform Sunnah prayers such as the Dhuha prayer as mentioned in the version of Abu Daawood.

5. Performing prayers in Qubaa’ Mosque

The Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam said: “He who purifies himself at his home and comes to Masijid Qubaa’ and prays therein will have the reward like that of ‘Umrah.” [Ahmad, An-Nasaa’i and Al-Haakim] [Al-Albaani: Saheeh]

‘Aa’ishah bint Sa‘d ibn Abi Waqqaas may Allaah be pleased with them said, “I heard my father saying, ‘It is dearer to me to perform two Rak‘ahs in the Qubaa’ Mosque than visiting Al-Masijid Al-Aqsa twice. If people only knew the virtues of [praying in] the Qubaa’ Mosque, they would fight over it.’”

Ibn Rajab may Allaah have mercy upon him said, “O brothers, if you were prevented from performing Hajj this year, turn inward and exercise self-restraint.”
