Sunan Ibn Majah 4164
‘Umar ؓ said :
“I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: ‘If you were to rely upon Allah with the reliance He is due, you would be given provision like the birds: They go out hungry in the morning and come back with full bellies in the evening.”
" لَوْ أَنَّكُمْ تَوَكَّلْتُمْ عَلَى اللَّهِ حَقَّ تَوَكُّلِهِ لَرَزَقَكُمْ كَمَا يَرْزُقُ الطَّيْرَ تَغْدُو خِمَاصًا وَتَرُوحُ بِطَانًا " .
Sunan Ibn Majah 2144 is a profound narration that reminds us of Allah’s complete control over our provision (Rizq) and lifespan.
Sunan Ibn Majah 2144
It was narrated from Jabir bin 'Abdullah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
"O people, fear Allah and be moderate in seeking a living, for no soul will die until it has received all its provision, even if it is slow in coming. So fear Allah and be moderate in seeking provision; take that which is permissible and leave that which is forbidden. "
أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَجْمِلُوا فِي الطَّلَبِ فَإِنَّ نَفْسًا لَنْ تَمُوتَ حَتَّى تَسْتَوْفِيَ رِزْقَهَا وَإِنْ أَبْطَأَ عَنْهَا فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَأَجْمِلُوا فِي الطَّلَبِ خُذُوا مَا حَلَّ وَدَعُوا مَا حَرُمَ " .
(Classed as Sahih)
As we approach 2025 and beyond, certain career fields are expected to lead the way in terms of growth, stability, and ethical contributions to society. These careers also align with the Islamic principles of halal Rizq (provision) and Taqwa (God-consciousness), offering both personal success and the opportunity to contribute positively to the community. Here's a look at the top career fields for Muslims seeking career growth whilst helping their deen and hereafter rather than compromising it in 2025.
Data science and AI have become crucial for businesses and governments worldwide, making it one of the highest-demand fields. With ethical concerns about AI and big data, there's an increasing need for professionals who can uphold Islamic values while developing these technologies. Working in AI is not just about profit but also about ensuring these technologies are used for social good and ethical innovation.
Key Stats: The global AI market is expected to grow to $190 billion by 2025 (Source: Forbes).
Relevance to Muslims: Working with AI allows Muslims to lead in ethical AI development, ensuring privacy, fairness, and equality.
Healthcare professionals, especially nurse practitioners, medical assistants, and healthcare managers, are in high demand as global populations age. The Muslim community has always had a strong presence in healthcare, and with the rise of telemedicine, medical technology, and health services management, there are more ways than ever for Muslims to contribute to healthcare services.
Key Stats: The global healthcare sector is projected to grow at 5.4% annually, reaching $8.45 trillion by 2028 (Source: Global Market Insights).
Relevance to Muslims: The need in the ummah of Muslim healthcare professionals has always been present and will continue to be. Especially when it comes to female medical professionals, so women can be treated by a professional of the same gender. Maintaining the boundaries of the Shariah helping those in need and providing dignity in care.
In his biography of ash-Shafa‘i in Siyar A‘laam an-Nubala’, adh-Dhahabi quoted him as saying:
“I do not know of any branch of knowledge, after knowledge of what is halaal and haraam, that is nobler than medicine, but the People of the Book have overtaken us in that field.”
Allah, may He be exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning):
“Allâh loves Al-Muhsinûn (the good-doers).”
Surah Aal ‘Imraan 3:134
ٱلَّذِينَ يُنفِقُونَ فِى ٱلسَّرَّآءِ وَٱلضَّرَّآءِ وَٱلْكَـٰظِمِينَ ٱلْغَيْظَ وَٱلْعَافِينَ عَنِ ٱلنَّاسِ ۗ وَٱللَّهُ يُحِبُّ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ ١٣٤
“Is there any reward for good other than good?”
هَلْ جَزَآءُ ٱلْإِحْسَـٰنِ إِلَّا ٱلْإِحْسَـٰنُ ٦٠
Surah Ar-Rahman 55:60.
Whether we like the regulations that are being imposed or not on all sectors, the shift to green energy is transforming the job market. As Islam places great emphasis on environmental stewardship and responsibility to protect the Earth.
Key Stats: The global renewable energy market is expected to reach $1.97 trillion by 2025 (Source: International Renewable Energy Agency).
Relevance to Muslims: Jobs in this field allow Muslims to contribute to sustainability, ensuring resources are used responsibly, benefiting future generations.
With the rise of digital transactions, cyber-attacks, and identity theft, cybersecurity professionals are more crucial than ever. This is a rapidly growing field, with businesses seeking skilled workers to protect sensitive data. In the context of Islam, this aligns with honesty and trustworthiness in dealing with information.
Key Stats: Cybersecurity spending is expected to exceed $180 billion by 2025 (Source: Gartner).
Relevance to Muslims: Cybersecurity is an ethical career choice that protects people’s data and privacy, ensuring their rights are safeguarded in line with Islamic principles of trust.
Excluding dubious matters such as cryptocurrency, the permissibility of which is still not clear, and of course riba-based banks and products which are without any doubt haram—no questions asked—the broader FinTech industry is still revolutionizing how people manage and transfer money, using digital banking. Ethical Islamic finance, such as Sharia-compliant investments and halal banking, is a growing field within FinTech. Muslims can lead in this space, ensuring financial transactions are transparent and in accordance with Islamic principles.
Key Stats: The global FinTech market is expected to reach $305 billion by 2025 (Source: Statista).
The global Islamic finance assets are expected to continue growing at a healthy pace, reaching over $3 trillion by the end of 2024, with a projected annual growth rate of 8-10% (Source: S&P GLOBAL).
Relevance to Muslims: By working in Islamic finance, Muslims can influence the development of ethical banking systems that adhere to the principles of justice, transparency, and interest-free transactions. Many people are waking up and moving away from Riba to join, encourage, and build the means to make that transition easier.
Surah Al Baqarah 2:278
يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَذَرُوا۟ مَا بَقِىَ مِنَ ٱلرِّبَوٰٓا۟ إِن كُنتُم مُّؤْمِنِينَ ٢٧٨
O believers! Fear Allah, and give up outstanding interest if you are ˹true˺ believers.
Automation is changing industries, from manufacturing to healthcare. The robotics and automation sectors are expected to grow, providing jobs in engineering, design, and programming. While this field is often seen through the lens of profit, automation also has the potential to increase efficiency and create more ethical work environments, reducing human error and improving quality of life.
Key Stats: The robotics market is expected to reach $260 billion by 2025 (Source: Robotics Business Review).
Relevance to Muslims: As Islam encourages innovation that benefits humanity, this field provides the opportunity to create systems that assist and empower workers in diverse industries.

Tawakkul (trust in Allah) & Rizq : Surah At-Talaq Ayah 3
Have sole reliance on Allah to bring you Rizq from his bounty while taking the means.
65:3
وَيَرْزُقْهُ مِنْ حَيْثُ لَا يَحْتَسِبُ ۚ وَمَن يَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى ٱللَّهِ فَهُوَ حَسْبُهُۥٓ ۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ بَـٰلِغُ أَمْرِهِۦ ۚ قَدْ جَعَلَ ٱللَّهُ لِكُلِّ شَىْءٍۢ قَدْرًۭا ٣
And He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine. And whosoever puts his trust in Allâh, then He will suffice him. Verily, Allâh will accomplish his purpose. Indeed Allâh has set a measure for all things.
Sunan Ibn Majah 4164
‘Umar ؓ said :
“I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: ‘If you were to rely upon Allah with the reliance He is due, you would be given provision like the birds: They go out hungry in the morning and come back with full bellies in the evening.”

_101.png "30 resume tips barakah jobs (1)_101.png")
Looking for ways to make your resume grab the attention of hiring managers? Crafting a standout CV can seem challenging, but we’ve gathered 30 tips to help you build a resume that’s visually appealing, keyword-optimized, and ATS-friendly. Let’s dive in!
Personalizing your resume for each application is essential. Identify and include keywords from the job description to align with what the company is seeking.
A strong, concise summary at the top of your resume should capture your core skills, experience, and what you bring to the table.
Most companies use Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), so make sure to include keywords from the job posting, including specific job titles, skills, and certifications.
Whenever possible, use numbers to showcase your accomplishments, such as “Increased sales by 30%” or “Managed a team of 12.”
Start each bullet point with an action verb, like "Led," "Created," or "Enhanced." It keeps your resume direct and impactful.
List skills that are relevant to the job in a specific section, like “Technical Skills” or “Core Competencies,” to give employers a quick view of your qualifications.
Aim for a one-page resume if you're a new graduate or early in your career. More experienced professionals can use two pages.
Stick to clean, professional fonts like Arial, Calibri, or Times New Roman, in a size between 10-12pt.
Lead with experience most relevant to the job, even if it’s not your most recent position.
Avoid graphics, complex fonts, and unconventional layouts that may disrupt ATS readability.
ATS stands for Applicant Tracking System, a tool that helps employers and recruiters streamline the hiring process by automating resume screening. ATS software scans resumes for keywords related to the job description, ranks candidates based on relevance, and filters out applications that don’t meet basic criteria—making it essential for applicants to tailor resumes with role-specific keywords to increase visibility in the hiring process.
Industry-relevant certifications or licenses are valuable—make sure they’re clearly listed in your resume.
Use consistent headers, bullet points, and margins to make your resume easy to read.
In most cases, there's no need to include details like age, marital status, or a photo unless specifically requested.
Even minor errors can make a big difference. Have a friend or mentor review your resume to catch any mistakes you may have missed.
Avoid overwhelming blocks of text—space out your sections for a balanced look.
Ensure that job titles are clear and easy to understand at a glance.
Highlight relevant volunteer experience that demonstrates your commitment, skills, and values.
Include your LinkedIn profile or a portfolio if it showcases additional skills or projects.
A brief section for projects can highlight leadership, innovation, or specific skills relevant to the job.
Soft skills, like leadership, teamwork, or problem-solving, are often as valuable as technical expertise.
Present your experience with the most recent position first for easy navigation.
Align your dates to maintain a professional, organized look.
A single color for section headers can improve readability without distracting.
Simplify or spell out technical terms to improve clarity.
Check that your phone number, email address, and any links are current.
Only include accurate information about your experience and skills.
Highlighting significant accomplishments instead of daily tasks will keep your resume engaging.
Show employers the value you bring by explaining the impact of your previous work.
Keep your resume current with new skills, experiences, or certifications.
Rather than listing references, simply add “References available on request” to save space.

 Brings Rizq - Insights from Surah Nuh (Verses 10-12)_421.png "Istighfar (Seeking Forgiveness) Brings Rizq - Insights from Surah Nuh (Verses 10-12)_421.png")
In Surah Nuh, Allah emphasizes the importance of seeking forgiveness (Istighfar) as a means to attract blessings and provision (rizq). These verses serve as a reminder of Allah’s mercy and the abundance that comes from sincere repentance.
Surah Nuh Verses 10, 11 and 12
فَقُلْتُ ٱسْتَغْفِرُوا۟ رَبَّكُمْ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ غَفَّارًۭا ١٠
يُرْسِلِ ٱلسَّمَآءَ عَلَيْكُم مِّدْرَارًۭا ١١
وَيُمْدِدْكُم بِأَمْوَٰلٍۢ وَبَنِينَ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ جَنَّـٰتٍۢ وَيَجْعَل لَّكُمْ أَنْهَـٰرًۭا ١٢
"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.’"
At Barakah Jobs, our mission aligns with the teachings of the Quran as we strive to promote halal income and ethical work opportunities. May we all be blessed with halal rizq and barakah in our lives.
