Omar Suleiman – His Hajj Story #10 – 5 Deeds That Equal the Reward of Hajj

			When you talk about the vastness of the mercy of Allah Subhana, WA tada and his bounty, what you
realize is that sometimes you come across these authentic ahaadeeth. And at first you might even be
a little suspicious about whether or not they're authentic because the reward that is mentioned is
so great for seemingly very simple things. And then you realize that the Prophet sallallahu
wasallam, as he talks about these deeds that are otherwise inaccessible to us, or these rewards that
are otherwise inaccessible to us, the deeds that he does sallallahu wasallam are always regular
habits that we can adopt in our lives. And who knows how many hedges and how many rewards we will
		

			find on the Day of Judgment bitten the donkey tada if we sincerely undertake those deeds.
		

			First and foremost, the sincerity of intention, and you know, sometimes especially for those that
make the intention of Hajj, it doesn't really hit them that you know, inshallah, you had the nia. So
bidding Allahu taala. Because you had the intention, the sincere intention, it counts, but I didn't
feel it right. I didn't get to go to Medina and go to Mecca, I didn't feel the struggle of Hajj. And
so it's hard for me to conceive that perhaps I actually would have the reward of Hajj my last pants
are granted to all of us who made the intention for Hajj aroma alone, I mean, and then you look at
this particular Hadith where the Prophet slicin chose to talk about the people who wanted to go to
		

			tabuk. Now remember, to book was a difficult journey, it was in the heat of the summer. And it was a
journey that the hypocrites did not want to go on, because it just required so much. And they made
all sorts of excuses and the profit slice and I'm speaking to those who actually went to tabuk. And
they actually encountered all of its hardships. And he says, There are people that are not with you
have a home a model, that they were held back by some sort of sickness or an earth or they had some
sort of excuse, but they have the same reward as you. So the prophets, I was saying that to the
people that went under that huge journey that undertook that huge journey with all of its hardships,
		

			and he's saying sallallahu Sallam Look, there are people that have the same reward, even though they
did not struggle the way that you struggled. So the sincerity of intention is important. And it's
something that we have to always remind ourselves of that intimate are not open yet, that actions
are but by intentions is not just some sort of comfort that the prophets lie some gifts to us, when
we can't fulfill a deed. It's something that requires work. Like you have to actually work on your
intention. And make sure that as you intend to do something that you sincerely intended for Allah
subhanaw taala and then the reward is assured from Allah subhanho wa Taala. Now, one of the things
		

			that we see with the Sahaba is that when they moved to Medina, for example, they were unable to make
it to Mecca, and they missed aroma. And we see the wisdom of the Hadith of the Prophet sly Salaam,
where he says that whoever makes will rule in Medina and then he heads out to message about the
first message in Islam to pray tonight guys, that that will equal aroma that that will actually
equal Amina, so imagine if you just moved to Medina, and you now have that comfort from the Prophet
slice alum that going out to bat is like going to Mecca and getting the reward of Allah. So that's
something that we still do today because in the mercy of Allah, though there might be context to
		

			these things. They are not restricted in their reward. This is something that is available to the
entire oma and so you have one of the most hopeful had the it's not just about attaining the reward
Hajj, but Hajj with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam magian if you lived in Medina, and
everyone came back and you missed out, right think about the few people that did not get to go on
hedge with the profit size and it's being referred to as hedge fund with that the farewell hedge
there's a chance that the profit slice on won't go out again. And so people are really remorseful
and regretful that did not go with the profit slice of them. And there's this particular woman on
		

			CNN, Al Ansari, all the Allahu taala Anna, who was so sad because she wanted to go on Hajj with the
Prophet slice Allah, but she was unable to so she goes to the Prophet slice lm and she complains to
the Prophet slice them about her situation the goddess Allah I missed Hajj with you. So this is
after the Hajj. And the Prophet slice them says, Well, what stopped you from doing Hajj with us? OMC
not. And she said my husband only has two camels. He used one for himself to go out with Hajj for
you. And the other camel is for irrigating our land so I had no way to actually go out with Hajj or
for Hajj with you sold the law Why do you a seller the prophets I seldom could have given her a
		

			specific answer to her situation. He could have said to her for example, that you know you had the
sincere intention. So inshallah
		

			It counts and that would have been true to everything that the Prophet slice Allah had already said
about so many other things, but instead a gift to the entire oma. The Prophet slicin obsessed her if
you can go out in our own raw in Ramadan for in our own right time fee Rama blonde tuck Lee had
gotten married. If you do aroma and Ramadan it is equal to doing Hajj with me. Notice the prophets
lie some did not tell her to go to Hajj next year because the Prophet slice on knew that he would
not be around for Hajj next year. But he gave a gift to the oma May Allah reward him Xenon for
asking the prophets license that question because when you see the huddle in normal circumstances
		

			full in the time of Ramadan, and the people flocking from all over the world know that that is the
reward of Hajj with the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. Now you have all of these various
deeds, and this is something that I want to end the series with, because these are things that are
accessible to all of us, but the lifestyle and they all equal hedge. And these are all authentic
narrations that I'm going to share with you. What are the deeds that the Prophet slice of the
mentioned equal hedge number one, the most famous and the most common? The Prophet slicin them said,
Whoever prays in JAMA whoever prays in congregation and remembers Allah from feadship so praise
		

			budget and congregation and remembers Allah until sunrise so they make your app or they do because
they remember Allah subhanaw taala in one of the legislated ways, and then they pray to Cochise
after sunrise, a lot of will have the profit slice and I'm said that that person has the reward of
hedge tamma tamma tamma, complete, complete, complete the reward of hedge an aroma, complete,
complete, complete. So that's something that you can do on a regular basis. You could prefetch it
and you could stay until sunrise, and that is the reward of Hajj and Umrah and that's something that
the Prophet slicin mentions authentically. And there are other narrations, all of them authentic.
		

			One of them the Prophet slicin them said, Man Masha de la salette in Mexico but infilled Gemma
whoever walks to one of the obligatory prayers to pray in congregation for hiya Khadija, then that
is the reward of hedge woman Misha de la Salatin total war and whoever walks to pray a voluntary
prayer in the masjid then that is aroma and in one narration the Prophet sighs I'm specifies a lot
of Doha. So if a person one day decides that they want to go to a lot to Doha, or they want to go
pray tonight guys in the budgets a lot of O'Hara voluntary prayer, then that is their word of karma.
And when a person walks to the mandatory salon and the Prophet slice of them says that is like a
		

			hedge completes, complete, complete. What about the other things? And notice they all surround the
masjid here right? The prophets lie Selim said in another authentic hadith men Avada Isla Masjid la
you read Illa and yet Allah mahira Oh, you are Lima, whoever goes out to the masjid. And what they
want, the only thing that they want is to learn something good or teach something good. So both the
student and the teacher when there's a halaqa and you go out to the masjid to one of those circles
of remembrance, and think about this, by the way, in the age of everything being virtual now
especially post COVID right, when things open up and you actually have the opportunity to go and
		

			listen to something in person attend a class live. The Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said,
Canada who casually Hajj that that person has the reward of a person who went out for Hajj Tama and
he said all together complete, complete, complete, why is the Prophet so I said, keep saying that,
because you might be thinking to yourself, come on Allah. So Allah really the entire hedge, the
profit slice that I'm saying the reward of hedge completes, complete, complete. So these are things
of Hello that surround the masjid that a person could do on a regular basis, praying a lot, the
budget and staying until a lot to do going to the obligatory prayer are going to pray a voluntary
		

			prayer specifically perhaps so a lot of people have when they have the opportunity to do so. Or a
person going to the masjid to learn or to teach. May Allah subhanaw taala make that reward
accessible to all of us, Allah I mean, and then there's one more narration that I want to share with
you in this regard. Also, an authentic narration from Anna cinematical. The alonside is a powerful
narration. He says that a man came to the Prophet sallallahu it was selling a telogen Obi Salallahu
it he was sending him a call in a steel jihad. He said that I want to go out and fight for the sake
of Allah subhanaw taala I desire to go out and fight for the sake of Allah Subhana Allah to struggle
		

			on the path of Allah. Well, in the law, could you do it but I don't have the means to do so. So I
can't go out and tebu I can't go out and her name jasola I'm unable to do so. What was the answer of
the Prophet slice Allah, He said held up here. I hadn't been worried AIG or either of your two
parents still alive. call on me. He said my mother, the profit slice of them said absolutely love
her.
		

			Run feed the prophets I seldom said then show your closeness to Allah come close to Allah with your
intention strive and struggle by obeying her by showing her goodness by giving her good
companionship by serving her. And the prophets I seldom and of course we know that when it comes to
jihad, this is the famous narration or the Prophet slice I'm sent the young man back and he said,
the fee Matha had been strive in your parents, right strive in their favor that go back to your
mother Heaven is under her feet. But here in this particular narration, which is authentic narration
the prophets lie some says for inaccurate either for either Dallek that if you do what I just told
		

			you, if you honor your mother, the prophets of Allah who it was to themselves and to Hajj one more
time, you are a person who is amongst those who do Hajj and martoma you are one of those who has
done Allah, one woulda had FISA beat Allah Subhana Allah, if one of your parents is alive, honoring
your parents is like Jihad and had normal all together. And this is an authentic narration from the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam. So how Allah we find this throughout this entire series, and
throughout everything that the Prophet slicin was doing and hedge muscle loss, Isom did not want to
restrict our Islam to a single gathering, but rather to transform our entire lives. And that's
		

			something that we take even from the ultimate gathering that happened in this world with the Prophet
sallallahu wasallam May Allah resurrect us in the ultimate gathering in the hereafter in his
companionship sallallahu wasallam and allow us to be his neighbors and Jonathan for DOS, Allah Ameen
to zachman law Hydra with Santa Monica Rahmatullahi wa barakaatuh.
		

			In these days, as we exert ourselves with all sorts of good deeds that our Prophet sallallahu alayhi
wa sallam taught us, we invite you to spend in the way of Allah subhanho wa Taala so that we may all
further ourselves along this journey and draw closer to Him.
