The Three Ways the Blessings are Taken Away

بسم الله والحمد لله والصلاة والسلام على رسول الله ، وبعد

In this materialistic world, whenever the word “Barakah” (Blessing) or “Ni`mah” (Favor) is mentioned, many people only compare it with monetary gains or possessions. For them, if a person has lots of wealth, then he is blessed. Moreover, when it is said that the Barakah or Ni`mah is not taken away except due to sins and is not returned except through repentance, the first thing that comes to their mind is financial losses. Indeed financial losses is one of the aspects, but Barakah is not limited to wealth only, nor is having more of the wealth means there is Barakah in it.

There are three ways in which Barakah is taken away from a person and this we will study with the example of rainwater.

Al-Barakah (The Blessings)

Al-Barakah: Its meaning, how to attain it and its preventers:

بـسـم الله والحـمـد لله والـصلاة والـسـلام عــلى رسـول الله، وبـعـد

All praise be to Allaah, and peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allaah and his family and companions and those who adhere to his Sunnah and who follow his guidance till the day of Judgment.

Fear Allaah – O servants of Allaah – as He تعالى should be feared. Verily, the fear of Allaah is the light of the eyes and which gives life to the (dead) hearts and with it the consciences are revived.
