Now that you know what barakah is, you might ask, how can one increase the barakah in his or her life? Aside from visiting the places with barakah, and making use of times with barakah, what else can you do?
The answer is very simple. If you want Allah (سبحانه وتعالى) to bless you, then do anything for the sake of Allah, upon the sunnah (methodology) of the Prophet (صلي الله عليه وسلم).
Thus every act can become a candidate for more barakah. Even things like going to work and shopping for food–properly done, with the right intention, can become something blessed. You’ll be more productive at work. The food you buy feeds you for a longer time. And so on.
May Allah (سبحانه وتعالى) increase us all in our barakah.
