As a young Muslim girl trying to navigate this fast-paced world, you might often feel like there’s just not enough time, money, or even energy to do all the things you dream of. But what if I told you there’s a beautiful secret to unlocking true abundance and blessings in your daily life? It’s called Barakah. And guess what? You can attract more of it by following the incredible teachings of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (PBUH).
Ready to discover the magic of Barakah? Let’s dive right in!
1. Start Your Day with Fajr Prayer (and Make It Count!)
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said: “O Allah, bless my nation in their early mornings.” (Tirmidhi)
There’s something special about starting your day with Fajr. It’s like plugging into a charger of divine energy. When you pray Fajr on time and then get moving, you’ll feel a productivity boost like no other. So, no more snooze button! Wake up and own your mornings.
2. Be Consistent with Your Dhikr (Remembrance of Allah)
Want your life to overflow with Barakah? Then keep your tongue moist with the remembrance of Allah. The Prophet (PBUH) said: “The comparison of the one who remembers Allah and the one who does not remember Allah is like that of the living and the dead.” (Bukhari)
Make it a habit to say simple but powerful phrases like SubhanAllah, Alhamdulillah, Allahu Akbar, and Astaghfirullah throughout your day. It’s like planting seeds of blessings everywhere you go.
3. Give Charity, Even If It’s Just a Little
Giving charity doesn’t decrease your wealth; instead, it multiplies it. The Prophet (PBUH) said: “Charity does not decrease wealth.” (Muslim)
Donate something, no matter how small, with sincerity. Whether it’s money, knowledge, or even a smile – every act of kindness brings Barakah to your life.
4. Eat Halal, Earn Halal, and Live Halal
If you want Barakah in your rizq (provision), make sure you are earning and consuming only what is pure and permissible. The Prophet (PBUH) emphasized the importance of halal earnings and avoiding doubtful matters.
Check your sources of income and be mindful of what you eat. When you live a halal lifestyle, you attract divine blessings into every aspect of your life.
5. Keep Ties of Kinship Strong
Family drama? We all have it. But here’s the thing – maintaining ties of kinship is directly linked to Barakah. The Prophet (PBUH) said: “Whoever loves that he be granted more wealth and his life be prolonged, then he should keep good relations with his relatives.” (Bukhari)
Pick up the phone, send that text, or visit a relative you haven’t seen in a while. The rewards are worth it!
6. Be Grateful and Positive, Even When Things Are Tough
The power of gratitude is real. The Prophet (PBUH) said: “Whoever is not grateful for small things will not be grateful for large things.” (Ahmad)
Practice gratitude daily by counting your blessings and saying Alhamdulillah for even the smallest things. This positive mindset invites more Barakah into your life.
7. Make Sincere Dua and Trust Allah’s Plan
Last but definitely not least, never underestimate the power of dua. The Prophet (PBUH) said: “Dua is the essence of worship.” (Tirmidhi)
Pour your heart out to Allah. Ask for Barakah in your studies, your relationships, your time – everything. And have faith that He will bless you in ways beyond your imagination.
