7 Deeds in Ramadan that carry the Reward of Hajj & Umrah!
How generous is Allah that he gives to his without measure.
O mankind, what has deceived you concerning your Lord, the Generous, (Surat Al-’Infitar 82:6)
He is even more generous during the blessed of Ramadan by which he will reward his slaves whatever he likes.
The following are 7 ways of earning the rewards of (Voluntary) Hajj & Umrah's during the blessed month of Ramadan:
1 -Performing the obligatory prayers in congregation:
Abu Tharr narrated that a group of the Companions came to the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), and said, “O Messenger of Allaah, the wealthy people will have higher grades and will have permanent enjoyment and they pray like us and fast as we do. They have more money, which they give in charity."The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), replied:“Has Allaah not rendered for you the‘Ishaa’ prayer in congregation equal to Hajj, and the Fajr prayer in congregation equal to ‘Umrah?” [Muslim]
The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), said: “Whoever walks to [perform] an obligatory prayer in congregation, it is like Hajj [in terms of rewards], and whoever walks to [perform] a voluntary prayer, it is like a voluntary ‘Umrah [in terms of rewards].” [Hasan]
2 -Reciting Dhikr (Remembrance of Allah) after the five daily prayers:
Abu Hurayrah (Ra) narrated that a group of destitute people came to the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), and said, “O Messenger of Allaah, the wealthy people will have higher grades and will have permanent enjoyment in high levels in Paradise. They pray like us and fast as we do, but they have more money by which they perform the Hajj, ‘Umrah, participate in Jihaad and give in charity.” The Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam), replied: “Shall I not tell you something upon which if you acted you would catch up with those who have surpassed you? Nobody would surpass you and you would be better than the people amongst whom you live except those who would do the same. Say ‘Subhaan Allaah’, ‘Alhamdulillaah’ and ‘Allaahu Akbar’ thirty-three times each after every (compulsory) prayer.’" [Al-Bukhaari]
3 - Praying Fajr with congregation & remaining seated in worship until after Sunrise:
The Prophet (Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: 'He who performs Fajr Salat with Jamaat and remains seated in the same place while engaging in Dhikr until after sunrise and thereafter performs 2 Rakaats Nafil Salat, (Ishraaq), he will obtain the Thawaab of one Hajj and one Umrah.' [Tirmidhi]
From `Abdullah bin `Aamir (Ra) that Abu Umaamah and `Utbah Bin `Abd (Ra) related that Allah’s Messenger, (Sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam) said: “Whoever prays as-S.ubh. (i.e. fajr prayer) in congregation then sits until he prays for Allah the prayer of Dhuha has the reward like that of a haajj (pilgrim performing Hajj) and a mu`tamir (pilgrim peforming `Umrah), complete reward of his Hajj and his `Umrah” [Tabarani]
4 -Observing the 10 days of I'tikaf:
Ali Ibn Hussain (RA) narrates from his father that Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said: “He who observes the ten days I’tikaf during Ramadhan will obtain the reward of two Hajj & two Umrah.” [Bayhaqi]
5 -Attending the ‘Eed prayers (both ‘Eed Al-Adh-ha and ‘Eed Al-Fitr):
Ibn Rajab (Ra) narrated that the Companion Mikhnaf ibn Sulaym (Ra) said, “The reward for attending ‘Eed Al-Fitr prayer is equal to the reward of performing ‘Umrah and the reward for attending ‘Eed Al-Adh-ha Prayer is equal to that of performing Hajj.”
6 - Going to the Masjid to teach and learn carry's the reward of Hajj
Abu Umamah al-Bahili (Ra) that the Messenger of Allah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said:
من غدا إلى المسجد لا يريد إلا أن يتعلم خيرا أو يعلمه كان له كأجر حاج تاما حجته
"Whoever goes to the masjid, wanting nothing except to teach what is good or to learn, will have the reward of a completed Hajj." [Tabarani, Mu'jam al-Kabeer, 7348 and others]
7 - Performing Umrah in Ramadan
Ibn `Abbas (Ra) said that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said to a woman from among the Ansar — Ibn `Abbas mentioned her name but I forgot it — "What kept you from performing Hajj with us?" She said, "We only have two camels," and the father of her son and her son had gone for Hajj on one camel, and he left the other camel so that they could carry water on it. He said, "When Ramadan comes, go for ‘Umrah, for ‘Umrah in (Ramadan) is equivalent to Hajj." [Al-Bukhari (1782) and Muslim (1256)]
May Allah enable us to implement these good acts and may he the majesty of honour and generosity reward us without measure. Ameen

Fulfilling the needs of your brother or sister
Hasan Al-Basri (Ra) said: “Your proceeding to fulfil the need a fellow Muslim is better for you than one Haj after another!” [Also quoted By Zabeedi (Ra) in Sharhul Ihyaa, vol.6 pg.292]

Being good to your parents
(Ra) reports that a man came to Rasulullah (Sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) and said: “I wish to participate in Jihaad, but I cannot afford it” Rasulullah (Sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) enquired if any of his parents were alive, to which he said: “Yes! My mother is alive” Rasulullah (Sallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) said: “Show Allah how you serve her. If you do so (duly) you will be like a: Haaji, a Mu’tamir (one doing ‘Umrah) and a Mujaahid (One striving in Allah’s way).” [Abu Ya’la, hadith:2760, and Tabarani with good chains.-Targheeb, vol.3, pg. 315 & Mukhtasar Ithaaf, hadith:5721]

The following are 7 ways of earning the rewards of (Voluntary) Hajj & Umrah's during the blessed month of Ramadan:

Are you sure that this Hadith is in Sahih Muslim and is authentic? What’s the reference?
I have seen this copy pasted on several websites some of which we consider to be reliable but unfortunately this Hadith is not in Sahih Muslim.
The additional part:
أو ليس قد جعل الله لكم صلاة العشاء في جماعة تعدل حجة، وصلاة الغداة في جماعة تعدل عمرة
Has Allah not rendered for you the 'isha' prayer in congregation equal to hajj and for the fajr prayer in congregation equal to 'umrah? is through a weak chain of narration.
This addition is narrated by al-Hafidh Abu Mussa through 'Uqba ibn Abdul-Ghafir through Thabit al-Banani through Abu Hameed al-Taweel al-Basri through Hammad ibn Salama through Affan ibn Muslim through Ahmad ibn Hanbal through Abdullah ibn Ahmad ibn Hanbal through Abu Bakr ibn Malik al-Qati'i.
As documented by Abu Nuaym al-Asbahani in his book Hilyat al-Awliya', Abu Bakr ibn Malik al-Qati'i is unknown, and Hammad ibn Salama's ability to memorize deteriorated with time; hence, the ruling of weak that we find.

If anyone here is interested in performing Itikaaf in the last 10 days of Ramadan, but is unable due to financial reasons, please contact me. I am offering to provide financial assistance.
It might be difficult to find a good opportunity this year, but if you're lucky and are able to, not only are the rewards immense, but you can learn so much. If not this year, keep thus idea in mind for next year.
It's also Sunnah Mukkadar Kafayah, meaning that at least one person in the community should perform it or the whole community is sinful.
