Allah says:
🔵 “And if the people of the towns had believed and had the taqwa, We would have overwhelmed them with blessings from heaven and earth…” [Surah Al-A’raf 7: 96]
.
The two main things that we must have / do in order to receive barakah from Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala in our lives are:
(1) Firm iman in Allah, and
.
(2) Taqwa of Allah. Taqwa of Allah basically means putting between us and Allah’s wrath a barrier. What is that barrier that can protect us from Allah’s Punishments? It is obedience to Allah in what He has commanded us to do, and staying away from things that He has prohibited us from. The more we obey His Commandments, and the more we stay away from His Prohibitions, the greater the barrier will be, the greater the taqwa will be.
.
When we do these two things, Allah will rain barakah upon us – in our family, our children, our health, our wealth, our job, our ‘ibadah, our sense of seeing, hearing – the barakah will cover absolutely everything in every way.
.
May Allah make us people who have both firm iman in Allah and taqwa of Him, and may Allah grant barakah in our lives, ameen.
