Barakah ~ Its True meaning ~ How it is Acquired ~ What Destroys it?
…
Every single day, every person equally gets full 24 hours of the day, regardless of status, profession, age (young, old), rich or poor …. but ‘Barakah’ seems to have vanished !
In our minds, the word ‘Barakah’ means plentiful … However, the real and true meaning of Barakah is, that a person, even though having little possessions (in quantity), it still suffices all his needs. Normally it would have required the person to have much more in his possession to be able to fulfill those particular needs.
…
Why does one not enjoy the Barakah?
The simple reason is the fact that Allah Ta’ala has deprived him of Barakah. So despite having alot (abundant wealth or time), it does not suffice all his needs. This is simply because he has disobeyed Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta’ala. Allah Ta’ala, therefore snatches away the ‘Barakah’ from him … Sins obliterate that Barakah …
…
How can we acquire and attain this Barakah?
The moment a person begins to obey Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta’ala and makes Taubah (Istighfaar), Allah Subhaanahu Wa Ta’ala will grant him Barakah in his sustenance, Barakah in his time, Barakah in his business, and Barakah in all works of life … Allah will help one to refrain from sins and fill his life with Barakah …
