Surah Hajj

It is a surah that has both Makki and Madani characteristics, as it was revealed partly before and partly after the migration of the Prophet (peace be upon him) to Madinah. The surah covers various topics, such as the Day of Judgment, the signs of Allah, the pilgrimage to Makkah, the struggle for the cause of Allah, and the rights of the oppressed.

- The Prophet (peace be upon him) has said that reciting Surah Al-Hajj carries a reward equal to the number of pilgrims who have been for Hajj and those who will go for Hajj in the future.

- Imam Ja'far as-Sadiq (may Allah be pleased with him) has said that whoever recites this surah once every three days will get the opportunity to go for Hajj in the same year, and if he dies on the way, he will be granted Jannah. He also said that if the person performing the Hajj was a sinner, his punishment would be reduced.
