If you are looking for productivity then it can be summarized as “Barakah” in Islam. We often find ways to get Barakah through different stuff by seeking the blessings of Allah (SWT). Achieving more in less time with few resources is a great blessing from Almighty Allah (SWT).
To get Barakah in today’s life is a brilliant treasure to cherish. Under this post, we are sharing the stuff that will lead you to have Barakah in all life aspects.
What is Barakah?
Well-known Ulama explains it as:
“Barakah is the hidden affection of Divine goodness to different things of life. If the barakah is present in our life prospects, it means that you will all get benefits. The greatest fruits of Barakah is to use it in the obedience of Almighty Allah.”
Sources to get Barakah
Here are some of the sources mentioned to gain Barakah in daily life. Check out these aspects to lead your life as a treasured one.
1. Pour Good Intentions in Your Deeds
Our last Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said:
“Everything depends on intentions.” So if you want to have barakah in all your stuff then make sure to perform all deeds with pure intentions. Specifically, ensure to involve in work that is intended solely for the sake of Allah. If this pure intention is not breathing in our work then the Divine Goodness will not be present in our lives.
2. Devotion and Belief in Allah
Belief in Allah is a crucial aspect to have throughout our lives. Allah says in the Quran:
“If the people of the towns had but believed and feared Allah, We should indeed have opened out to them (All kinds of) blessings from heaven and earth…”
(Surah Al-A’raf, Verse 96)
In another verse, Allah (SWT) says:
“And for those who fear Allah, He (ever) prepares a way out. And He provides for him from (sources) he never could imagine.”
(Surah Al-Talaq, Verses 2-3)
3. Put Trust in Allah in all Matters
One will not be disappointed if he puts his sole trust in the Almighty Allah (SWT).
Allah says in the Quran:
“And if anyone puts his trust in Allah, sufficient is (Allah) for him. For Allah will surely accomplish his purpose. Verily, for all things has Allah appointed a due proportion”
(Surah Al-Talaq, verses 3)
Our Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:
“If only you relied on Allah a true reliance, He would provide sustenance for you just as He does the birds: They fly out in the morning empty and return in the afternoon with full stomachs.
(Ahmad, An-Nasa’I, Ibn Majah, Al-Hakim and At-Tirmidhi)
4. Recite Quran Daily
Holy Qur’an is a complete guide for our lives. It is the pillar to get Barakah but sadly in today’s life, we don’t understand it. Allah (SWT) mentions in the Quran:
“And this is a Book which We have sent down, bringing blessings, and confirming (the revelations) which came before it…”
(Surah Al-An’am, Verse 92).
So if you are looking to have Barakah in your life, you must ensure to recite the Holy Quran on daily basis.
5. Follow the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad (PBUH)
The best part to instill your work with Barakah is to follow Sunnah of Our Prophet Muhammad (PBUH). These Sunnah includes eating with the right hand, perform Eid Salah in mosques, licking your fingers after finishing the meal, sleeping on your right-hand side, using the miswaak for teeth and mouth cleaning.
These Sunnah are a blessed part of one’s life and definitely they direct us towards the right path.
6. Charity
One of the Hadeeth Qudsi mentions that Allah says:
“O son of Adam, spend (in charity), and I’ll spend on you!”
When you are feeling that you are broke and life is not going well so gain barakah through charity. It cleanses your sins and adds barakah in all your deeds. It is an intense source to lead your life towards Barakah.
These are the sources to get barakah in your lives and reap the benefits out of it. How are you gaining Barakah in your daily routine? Do share with MuslimKits.
