    Sunan Ibn Majah 4164: Like the Hungry Birds

    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: No Soul Will Die Until It Has Received All Its Provision

    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 ‏"‏ ‏.

    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.


    2. Healthcare and Medical Technology (Growth: 45% by 2025)

    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.

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.

    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.


    6. Robotics and Automation (Growth: 22% by 2025)

    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.

    30 Top Resume Tips for Job Seekers in 2024

    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!

    1. Tailor Each Resume to the Job

    Personalizing your resume for each application is essential. Identify and include keywords from the job description to align with what the company is seeking.

    2. Start Strong with an Engaging Summary

    A strong, concise summary at the top of your resume should capture your core skills, experience, and what you bring to the table.

    3. Include Relevant Keywords

    Most companies use Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS), so make sure to include keywords from the job posting, including specific job titles, skills, and certifications.

    4. Quantify Your Achievements

    Whenever possible, use numbers to showcase your accomplishments, such as “Increased sales by 30%” or “Managed a team of 12.”

    5. Use Action-Oriented Language

    Start each bullet point with an action verb, like "Led," "Created," or "Enhanced." It keeps your resume direct and impactful.

    6. Highlight Key Skills in a Separate Section

    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.

    7. Be Concise and Stick to One Page if Possible

    Aim for a one-page resume if you're a new graduate or early in your career. More experienced professionals can use two pages.

    8. Use Professional Fonts

    Stick to clean, professional fonts like Arial, Calibri, or Times New Roman, in a size between 10-12pt.

    9. Emphasize Relevant Experience

    Lead with experience most relevant to the job, even if it’s not your most recent position.

    10. Optimize for ATS

    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.

    11. Showcase Certifications and Licenses

    Industry-relevant certifications or licenses are valuable—make sure they’re clearly listed in your resume.

    12. Utilize a Clear, Consistent Layout

    Use consistent headers, bullet points, and margins to make your resume easy to read.

    13. Avoid Unnecessary Personal Information

    In most cases, there's no need to include details like age, marital status, or a photo unless specifically requested.

    14. Proofread Multiple Times

    Even minor errors can make a big difference. Have a friend or mentor review your resume to catch any mistakes you may have missed.

    15. Balance White Space and Text

    Avoid overwhelming blocks of text—space out your sections for a balanced look.

    16. Keep Job Titles Consistent and Clear

    Ensure that job titles are clear and easy to understand at a glance.

    17. Include Volunteer Work (if relevant)

    Highlight relevant volunteer experience that demonstrates your commitment, skills, and values.

    18. Add Relevant Social Media or Portfolio Links

    Include your LinkedIn profile or a portfolio if it showcases additional skills or projects.

    19. Add a Section for Notable Projects

    A brief section for projects can highlight leadership, innovation, or specific skills relevant to the job.

    20. Emphasize Transferable Skills

    Soft skills, like leadership, teamwork, or problem-solving, are often as valuable as technical expertise.

    21. Use Reverse Chronological Order

    Present your experience with the most recent position first for easy navigation.

    22. Maintain Consistency in Dates

    Align your dates to maintain a professional, organized look.

    23. Limit Colors to One or Two Accents

    A single color for section headers can improve readability without distracting.

    24. Avoid Jargon and Acronyms

    Simplify or spell out technical terms to improve clarity.

    25. Ensure Contact Information is Updated

    Check that your phone number, email address, and any links are current.

    26. Be Truthful and Authentic

    Only include accurate information about your experience and skills.

    27. List Major Achievements in Your Work Experience

    Highlighting significant accomplishments instead of daily tasks will keep your resume engaging.

    28. Focus on the Impact You’ve Made

    Show employers the value you bring by explaining the impact of your previous work.

    29. Update Regularly

    Keep your resume current with new skills, experiences, or certifications.

    30. Include References on Request Only

    Rather than listing references, simply add “References available on request” to save space.

    ‘And give you increase in wealth and children, and bestow on you gardens and bestow on you rivers.’"

    How to Prepare for a Job Interview: Tips and Common Questions to Ace Your Interview

    In today's competitive job market, acing a job interview is critical for landing your dream role. Whether you’re a seasoned professional or new to the workforce, proper interview preparation can set you apart from other candidates. If you're searching for a Shariah-compliant or halal job, preparing well not only boosts your confidence but also helps you showcase your qualifications in the best possible way. This guide will walk you through effective interview preparation techniques and common questions so you can approach your next interview with confidence.



    1. Research the Company


    Before stepping into any interview, it’s essential to thoroughly research the company. Look into their history, mission, and values, and understand how their business aligns with Islamic values if you’re applying for a halal job. Visit their website, read recent news articles, and check out reviews on Glassdoor or LinkedIn. This research will not only help you tailor your answers but also enable you to ask insightful questions during the interview.



    2. Understand the Role


    Study the job description carefully. Make sure you fully understand the key responsibilities and required skills for the position. Prepare examples from your own experience that demonstrate how you meet the job requirements. Aligning your skills with the company’s needs is crucial, especially if you’re seeking a halal, Shariah-compliant role in industries such as finance, education, or healthcare.



    3. Practice Common Interview Questions


    Practicing common interview questions is an important part of preparation. The following are examples of questions that you’re likely to encounter:


    a. Tell me about yourself.


    This is often the first question in an interview. Craft a concise and focused response that highlights your key qualifications and experiences. Mention how your values align with the company, especially if you're applying to a halal job.


    b. Why do you want to work here?


    Employers ask this to see if you’ve researched the company. Highlight specific aspects of the company that appeal to you. If it’s a Shariah-compliant business, mention how you appreciate their commitment to Islamic principles.


    c. What are your strengths and weaknesses?


    For strengths, choose qualities that align with the job description. For weaknesses, choose something you’re actively working to improve and demonstrate a proactive approach.


    d. How do you handle stress and pressure?


    Interviewers want to know how you perform under pressure. Mention a real-life situation where you successfully managed stress, perhaps by relying on time management or teamwork.


    e. Describe a difficult work situation and how you overcame it.


    Prepare to discuss a challenging work experience and how you resolved it. Highlight problem-solving skills and the ability to remain calm under pressure.


    f. What are your career goals?


    Be honest but frame your answer in a way that aligns with the company's future. If you're interviewing for a halal job, mention how you want to contribute to a meaningful, values-driven environment.

    Practice your responses using the STAR method—Situation, Task, Action, Result—to structure answers that highlight your skills.


    4. Dress Professionally and Modestly


    Your appearance plays a big role in making a good impression. For those seeking a Shariah-compliant job, it’s important to dress modestly and professionally. Make sure your attire is clean, well-fitted, and appropriate for the company culture. Always aim to look polished and neat, whether you're applying for a corporate role or a creative job.

    • Brothers should dress in a smart thobe, suit, or shalwar kameez. Following the sunnah, keep the trousers above the ankles.

    • Sisters should prioritize modesty and wear a hijab or niqab. Avoid wearing perfume and ensure that your outfit covers properly in line with Islamic principles.



     

    5. Prepare Your Own Questions

    At the end of most interviews, you’ll be given the opportunity to ask questions. This is your chance to show genuine interest in the company. Some questions you can ask include:

    • What are the key challenges in this role?

    • How does the company measure success?

    • What is the company culture like, especially regarding work-life balance?

    • Are there opportunities for professional growth?

    Asking thoughtful questions shows that you’re invested in the position and are considering whether the role and company are a good fit for your career aspirations.

    6. Make Dua and Trust in Allah

    For Muslims, relying on Allah's guidance is essential. Make dua (prayer) before your interview, asking for ease, clarity, and confidence. Trust that if the job is good for you, Allah will make it happen, and if not, something better will come. This mindset can help calm any anxiety and allow you to perform your best.

    7. Common Interview Mistakes to Avoid

    Even if you’ve prepared extensively, it’s easy to make mistakes. Avoid these common interview blunders:

    • Arriving late: Always aim to arrive 10-15 minutes early. Being punctual shows respect for the interviewer’s time.

    • Not having questions ready: Asking no questions at the end of an interview can make you seem disinterested.

    • Speaking negatively about past employers: Stay positive and focus on what you learned from previous roles.

    • Failing to follow up: After your interview, send a thank-you email to express your appreciation for the opportunity.

    Conclusion

    Landing a job, especially a halal job that aligns with your Islamic values, requires careful preparation. By researching the company, practicing common interview questions, dressing appropriately, and making dua, you'll increase your chances of success. Remember, preparation is key, and by being proactive, you’ll not only impress your interviewers but also feel more confident going into the interview.

    The Power of Dua from Quran 28:24: Prophet Musa's Prayer for Sustenance

    Introduction: Understanding the Power of Dua

    Dua, or supplication, is a direct form of communication with Allah (SWT). It is a way to seek His mercy, guidance, and sustenance. Among the many beautiful Duas in the Quran, one stands out for its simplicity and depth: the Dua of Prophet Musa (AS) from Surah Al-Qasas (28:24). This is a supplication for provision and help at a time of great need.


    The Dua from Quran 28:24

    The verse reads:
    فَسَقَىٰ لَهُمَا ثُمَّ تَوَلَّىٰٓ إِلَى ٱلظِّلِّ فَقَالَ رَبِّ إِنِّى لِمَآ أَنزَلْتَ إِلَىَّ مِنْ خَيْرٍۢ فَقِيرٌۭ ٢٤

    So he watered (their flocks) for them, then he turned back to shade, and said: "My Lord! truly, I am in need of whatever good that You bestow on me!"

    the Dua:
     رَبِّ إِنِّى لِمَآ أَنزَلْتَ إِلَىَّ مِنْ خَيْرٍۢ فَقِيرٌۭ

    "My Lord! truly, I am in need of whatever good that You bestow on me!"

    (Quran 28:24)

    This powerful prayer is a reminder of our dependency on Allah for all forms of provision and sustenance. It was made by Prophet Musa (AS) after fleeing from Egypt and finding himself alone and in need of help. The simplicity of the Dua reflects complete reliance on Allah's mercy and the acknowledgment that only He can provide what we need in difficult times.


    Applying This Dua in Your Life

    Muslims can recite this beautiful Dua when seeking Allah's assistance, especially in times of financial or personal hardship. It is a reminder to humble ourselves before Allah, acknowledging that all good comes from Him. By making this Dua, we not only seek physical sustenance but also spiritual and emotional support, asking for Allah's Barakah (blessing) in every aspect of our lives.

    In times of need, this powerful Dua from Prophet Musa (AS) reminds us to place our trust in Allah alone.


    Conclusion

    The Dua from Quran 28:24 is a timeless supplication that holds great significance for Muslims worldwide. Whether you are facing financial struggles, career challenges, or personal difficulties, turning to Allah with this simple yet profound Dua can help you find the sustenance and guidance you need. Remember, Allah is Ar-Razzaq (The Provider), and by sincerely asking for His provision, you open doors to His abundant mercy and blessings.

    Barakah Jobs: Long-Awaited Project Update & Introduction of Amanah Companies

    As-Salaamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh!

    My name is Rabeeh Ameen, and I am the founder of Barakah Jobs. 


    This website has been a small, mostly self-funded project run by me personally. Alhamdulillah, from the beginning, our goal has been to stick to the Shariah and remain sincere in everything we do. We’ve always aimed to align the platform with Islamic principles and offer you a solution to a very real problem finding Halal Rizq In roles and companies that do not cause you to compromise your deen.


    Unlike other platforms focusing only on companies in Muslim countries or similar initiatives that came after us, we’ve committed to these principles from day one, ensuring we do things the right way, inshaAllah. 


    Our Unique Features & Challenges


    From the start, we’ve been clear with our terms and conditions and introduced special job search filters such as "segregated workspaces for men and women" to ensure jobs meet our criteria. الحمد الله, we were the first to conceptualize, introduce, and implement these ideas, and it's important to clarify that. 


    However, we've faced challenges, especially financially. While the site has always been and remains completely free for candidates and mostly free for employers, it’s still a one-man project. 


    Development and maintenance costs are considerable and will grow as traffic increases. 


    If you believe in what we're doing, you can support us through the 'Support Us' page to help maintain and grow the project. InshaAllah, with Allah’s help it will support future plans such as building a small internal team removing our reliance from freelancers.


    Companies are welcome to work with us through sponsorships to advertise using our internal platform and reach our growing user base in a non intrusive manner. Please note that sponsorships are also subject to a strict screening process. 


    Addressing Screening Concerns & Amanah Companies


    Sourcing jobs and companies that meet our Shariah-compliant criteria has been one of the most difficult tasks. We experimented with manual job scraping but never attempted importing jobs using Google APIs due to quality concerns. 


    Neither approach met the Shariah compliance we aimed for. That's why we developed Amanah Companies, based on trust, using screening questions to ensure we work with companies that share our values.


    It’s important to note that despite our best efforts i.e. our clear terms and conditions, screening questions, and job search filters we do ultimately rely on an Amanah system (trust), we do not take responsibility for vetting companies or roles. We also encourage you to do your own research about each role or company. 


    Barakah Jobs is not a gimmick nor another Muslim oriented project lacking any substance or sincerity I believe that’s been clear in our reserved advertising and thorough approach.


    My vision was to create a viable solution in a very direct and non compromising way. Although there is room for improvement and there will be further upgrades. I believe today with "Amanah companies" Alhamdulilah we have accomplished that.


    We now need your help to grow this project organically, inshaAllah. 


    Alhamdulillah, we’ve taken the final steps toward ensuring that Barakah Jobs always prioritizes quality over quantity. Let’s grow this platform together with your help and Allah’s guidance.


    E-books and other resources, both ilm-based and professional, are coming soon, inshaAllah! Stay tuned! 


    Barakallahu Feekum, Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh!
