 21 EASY BARAKAH EXPERIMENTS

CONSULT ALLAH
01 [SWT] If you have a decision to make today, seek Barakah in the outcome of your final decision by
consulting others and, most importantly, consulting Allah [swt] through the Istikhara prayer.

SAY BISMILLAH For every activity you do today, say Bismillah (in the name of Allah), with meaning &
02 CONSCIOUSLY understanding. Let it sink in that you’re seeking Barakah through mentioning His name.

DOUBLE YOUR TIME

03 WITH THE QURAN If you have a habit of reading X amount of Quran each day, try to double that effort
of reciting and notice the Barakah effect you’ll feel during your day.

GIVE CHARITY TO Find someone you know who’s in need, and see if you can take care of one of their financial
04 SOMEONE YOU KNOW worries without them knowing (e.g., pay an electricity bill, school fees, rent, etc.).

SACRIFICE FOR ALLAH Commit to a small sacrifice whereby you give up something sincerely for Him. For example,
05 [SWT]
disconnect from your phone at certain hours for the sake of connecting with Allah [swt].

TURN YOUR WORRIES Turn your worries or aspirations into specific duas (supplications) that you regularly
06 ask
INTO SUPPLICATIONS Allah [swt] for in all your prayers and especially in the month of Ramadan.
SALAWAAT UPON THE
07 PROPHET [SAW] Set a timer for 10-30 minutes and recite the Salawaat upon the Prophet (the one you do
in your prayers) abundantly. Reflect on the meaning of you remembering your Prophet.

BEAT FRUSTRATIONS Every time you feel frustrated, remember Allah; say SubhanaAllah, Alhamdulillah, La ilaha
08
WITH REMEMBRANCE illa Allah, Allahu Akbar. Keep repeating it until your frustration subsides.
SET INTENTIONS FOR
09 YOUR TO-DOS Ask yourself: “What’s my intention behind my tasks? What do I want to get out of it?
And How best to align it to what Allah [swt] wants from me?”

WRITE A THANK YOU Write someone in your work, family, or community, a detailed thank you card to mention all
10 CARD the good that they do and how much you appreciate them.

11 TAKE A NAP Set your intention to mimic a Prophetic habit and take a nap close to Dhuhur (noon)
prayer for just 20 minutes. Find a park, bench, or simply close your eyes inside your car or
cubicle.

REPORT TO ALLAH Make a commitment not to be late to salah but to be the first to show up. Let your slogan be
12 — ON TIME what Musa [as] said: “...and I hastened to You, my Lord, that You be pleased.” [Quran 20:84].

TAKE A DUHA PRAYER

13 BREAK Enjoy a mid-morning break with prayer, praying Duha prayers as was the custom of Prophet
Muhammad [saw]. You can pray 2 rak’ah (units), or 4, or up to 8 rak’ahs.

This reminds you of your death, thus switching your mindset to one that focuses on the
14 PREPARE YOUR WILL hereafter. It’ll help you detach from this world and help you focus on what really matters.

PLANT OR CARE FOR A

15 TREE Taking care of a living creature is a source of Barakah, for it remembers Allah [swt]
always. Get a small office plant or plant something in your garden, and be attuned to its
needs.

Think of a resource that you have that you currently feel like you’re wasting, e.g. water, food,
16 DON’T WASTE electricity, etc. Pick one and set a goal not to waste it.

17 WAKE UP EARLY The time from before dawn to sunrise is your opportunity to truly experience Barakah. In
addition to morning spiritual activities, try to make progress on important non-urgent
goals.

BE CONSCIOUS OF Be spiritually sensitive of times such as right before breaking fast, before Fajr prayer, when it
18 SACRED TIMES rains & the last hour on Friday. Don’t let them pass by without making supplications.

19 DON’T ARGUE Let go of arguments even if you’re right. Listen to the other person’s points and if they are in
a position to hear from you, share with them respectfully without expecting them to agree.

SPEND QUALITY TIME Spend quality time with your parents beyond your routine. If they live far, have an in-
20
WITH PARENTS conversation with them. And if they have passed away, dedicate a supplication for them.
USE THE SIWAK
21 REGULARLY Using the Siwak makes you conscious of a Prophetic practice, and one that brings
Allah’s pleasure. It helps you adopt a mindset of God-consciousness even in your oral
hygiene.
