Hajj is the greatest gift for 3 simple reasons:
A woman from Juhaynah came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said:“My mother vowed to go for Hajj, but she did not go for Hajj before she died. Should I do Hajj on her behalf?” He said:…Pay off the debt that is owed to Allah…” (Al-Bukhari, 1754)
The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “Whoever performs Hajj to this house – Ka’bah- and does not commit any obscenity and wrongdoing, he/she, will come out as the day he/she was born – pure and free from sins.” [Al Bukhari and Muslim]
There is no reward for an accepted hajj (mabroor) except Paradise.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
How painful is it for a person to not have that dream fulfilled? Imagine paying off a debt like ‘hajj and giving that reward to a person in the grave or to a person who is unable to perform ‘hajj! How awesome is that?
