Narrated under the authority of Mo`qel Bin Yassar, may Allah be pleased with him that he said: the Messenger of Allah blessing and peace be upon him said: “Performing worship during the time of Harraj (multiplicity of human killing, temptations, confusions and difference) is similar to immigration to me” reported by Muslim (2948), Ahmad (20298), and Termidhi (220)
I would like to elaborate here in order to clarify certain points, the time of Harraj indicated here in the Hadith, refers to eras when massive killings take place, temptations and so forth and not a certain day, or week. But in other words when such issues prevail on a massive scale. This is when one who is keen and strictly concerned to maintain an increased level of worship shall be deemed like one who immigrated to follow the Messenger blessing and peace be upon him. Sobhan Allah, even after 1400 years, we may secure the same reward our early brothers and sister gained when they left everything behind and followed the Messenger blessing and peace be upon him to Medina. Why? because at such time (Haraj time), it becomes really difficult for one to remain steadfast and continue with performing all kinds of worship. May Allah Makes us of them.
