"And pilgrimage to the House is incumbent upon men for the sake of Allah,upon everyone who is able to undertake the journey to it"–[ 3:96 Quran]
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah Muhammad [Peace be upon him] said:
"Whoever performs the Hajj and commits no lustful act during it nor disobeys Allah (in any other way) shall return from it as pure and sinless as he was at the time of his birth." (Hadith-Bukhari & Muslim )
"From one Umra to another (i.e. the two Umras) become an atonement for the sins committed during the period intervening between them and the reward on Hajj-e-Mabroor (i.e. pure and untainted Haj) is paradise itself and nothing less." (Hadith-Bukhari & Muslim )
"Those who make the pilgrimage for the Hajj or Umra are the guests of Allah. The petitions[duas] they make will be granted and if they seek deliverance from sins, their sins will be forgiven."(Hadith- Ibn-Maja)
It is related by Ali (May Allah be pleased with him) that The Messenger of Allah, Muhammad [Peace be upon him] said:
"Any one who Allah has given enough to perform the Hajj, and he also has a conveyance which can take him to the House of Allah. If he still fails to do so then it does not matter whether he dies a Jew or Christian, and it is so because Allah has said: Pilgrimage to the House (of Allah) is a duty men owe to Allah – those who can afford the journey." (Hadith-Tirmizi )
DEATH may occur at any time, so if HAJ is compulsory on you ……PERFORM IT!...DONT DELAY!
