This blessed journey has numerous benefits. Let’s listen to some blessed sayings of the Beloved Rasool صَلَّى اللهُ تَعَالٰى عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم in this regard:

1- This house is the pillar of Islam. The Hajj or ‘Umrah performing person who leaves his home with the intention of going to Baytullah Shareef, if his soul is seized, then it is upon the mercy of Allah Almighty to enter him into the Paradise. And if he returns (after performing Hajj), then he will return with rewards and blessings. (Al-Mu’jam-ul-Awsat, vol. 6, pp. 352, Hadees 9033; Firdaus-ul-Akhbar, lil-Daylami, vol. 2, pp. 382, Hadees 7208)

2- The one who leaves his home to perform Hajj or ‘Umrah and passes away, he will be rewarded with the reward of the one who performs Hajj and ‘Umrah continuously until the Day of Judgement. (Shu’ab-ul-Iman lil-Bayhaqi, vol. 3, pp. 474, Hadees 4100)

3- The one who set out in this path to perform Hajj or ‘Umrah and died, he will not be presented for accountability and nor will he be held to account, and he will be asked to enter Paradise. (Al-Mu’jam-ul-Awsat, vol. 4, pp. 111, Hadees 5388)

طیبہ میں مَر کے ٹھنڈے چلے جاؤ آنکھیں بند

سیدھی سڑک یہ شہرِ شَفاعت نگر کی ہے

(Hadaiq-e-Bakhshish, p. 221)

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب              صَلَّى اللّٰهُ تَعَالٰى عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
