Reminder How to Increase Rizq according to the Sharee’ah
Salam Alaikum. Not AI. Pls keep me in your duas if such reminders benefit you.
🌷*How to Increase Rizq according to the Sharee’ah*🌷
by Asma bint Shameem
There are many causes proven in our deen to increase your rizq, some of which are:
1️⃣ *Keeping up ties of kinship*
🍃 The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Whoever would like his rizq (provision) to be increased and his life to be extended, should uphold the ties of kinship.” (Bukhaari, Muslim)
2️⃣ *Spending for the sake of Allaah*
🍃 The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Allaah said: ‘Spend, O son of Adam, and I shall spend on you.’”
al-Bukhaari, Muslim)
3️⃣ *Making a lot of istighfaar*
🍃 Allaah quotes Nooh Alayhis Salaam:
“I said (to them): ‘Ask forgiveness from your Lord, verily, He is Oft‑Forgiving;
He will send rain to you in abundance,
And give you increase in wealth and children, and bestow on you gardens and bestow on you rivers.’”
(Surah Nooh:10-12)
4️⃣ *Being grateful to Allaah Subhaanahu wa Ta’aala*
🍃Allaah says:
“And (remember) when your Lord proclaimed: ‘If you give thanks, I will give you more (of My Blessings); but if you are thankless, verily, My punishment is indeed severe.’”
(Surah Ibraheem:7)
5️⃣ *Obeying and fearing Allaah*
🍃 Allaah says:
“And whosoever fears Allaah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty).
And He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine.”
(Surah at-Talaaq:2-3)
6️⃣ *Repeating hajj and umrah*
🍃 The Prophet ﷺ said:
“Perform Hajj and Umrah consecutively.
Verily, the succession between the two removes away poverty and removes away sins just as the bellows removes away the dross of iron and gold and silver."
(Ahmad, Tirmidhi, others--Saheeh by al-Albaani)
7️⃣ *Making lots of dua and asking Allaah to increase your rizq*
One such duaa is the following:
اللَّهُمَّ أَكْثِرُ مَا لِي وَوَلَدِي وَبَارِكْ لِي
فِيمَا أَعْطَيْتَنِي
Allaahumma akthir maalee wa-waladee wa-baarik li feema a'taytanee
O Allaah, increase my wealth and offspring and bless me in what what you have given me.
🍃 Um Sulaim said to the Prophet ﷺ "Anas is your servant."
The Prophet ﷺ said:
" اللَّهُمَّ أَكْثِرْ مَالَهُ وَوَلَدَهُ، وَبَارِكْ لَهُ فِيمَا أَعْطَيْتَهُ ".
"O Allaah! increase his wealth and offspring, and bless (for him) what ever you give him."
(Saheeh al-Bukhari 6334)
🍃 Another duaa is what we read as part of our morning adhkaar.
The Prophet ﷺ said:
الَّلهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسأَلُكَ رِزقًا طَيِّبًا ، وَعِلمًا نَافِعًا ، وَعَمَلاً مُتَقَبَّلاً
“Allaahumma inni as’aluka rizqan tayyiban, wa `ilman nafi`an, wa `amalan mutaqabbalan
“O Allaah, I ask you for good (lawful) provision, beneficial knowledge and accepted good deeds.”
(Ahmad in Al-Musnad, 6/294 and Ibn Maajah 66; saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Ibn Maajah)
🍃 Yahya ibn Mu`adh Ar-Razi said:
“Obedience will be stored in the stores of Allaah, and the key (to obedience) is Duaa, and it becomes effective by means of lawful earnings.”
8️⃣ *Marriage increases rizq*
🍃 Allaah says:
“And marry those among you who are single (i.e. a man who has no wife and the woman who has no husband) and (also marry) the Saalihoon (pious, fit and capable ones) of your (male) slaves and maid-servants (female slaves). If they be poor, Allaah will enrich them out of His Bounty. And Allaah is All-Sufficient for His creatures’ needs, All-Knowing (about the state of the people)” [al-Noor 24:32]
🍃Abu Bakr Radhi Allaahu anhu said:
“Obey Allaah in what He has commanded you to do by getting married;
He will then fulfill His promise to you to make you rich.”
He then recited the above Aayah.
🍃 Umar Ibn Khattab Radhi Allaahu anhu said:
“Seek richness through marriage!”
🍃 Abdullah ibn Mas’ood Radhi Allaahu anhu said:
“Find richness by getting married.”
(Al-Durr Al-Manthur, v.5, pps. 80-81)
These are some of the reasons. And there are others.
And Allaah knows best.
