In our pursuit of success — whether it’s in our career, family, or daily life — we often overlook the simple, powerful means that bring true barakah (divine blessing). Sheikh Ruhayli, in one of his insightful lectures, beautifully summarized three key actions that attract Allah’s grace and abundance. His words serve as a reminder that spiritual effort precedes worldly gain.
Sheikh Ruhayli says in this excerpt from a lecture:
"Therefore, if you want something in this world. You must focus on three matters. Which, by the will of Allah, bring Allah's grace. The first is seeking forgiveness, increase in seeking forgiveness, if you want a job, if you want wealth, if you want a child, if you want depression to leave you, if you want worry to leave you, increase in seeking forgiveness. If you see that your wife is not suitable for you. She exhausts you, does not obey you, increase in seeking forgiveness. The second is supplication. Strive in supplication. The third is righteous deeds. For through righteous deeds, you receive Allah's blessings in this world and you are rewarded for them in the hereafter."
