🛑Do you wish to increase your provisions (rizq)? There are some means of increasing rizq that are prescribed in Islam. These include:
𝟏) 𝐈𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐟𝐚𝐫 (𝐩𝐫𝐚𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬): Allah, may He be exalted, says: “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.” [Nuh 71:10-12]
𝟐) 𝐔𝐩𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐬𝐡𝐢𝐩: Al-Bukhari (2067) and Muslim (2557) narrated from Anas ibn Malik that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Whoever would like his provision to be increased and his life to be extended , should uphold the ties of kinship.” An-Nawawi said: “The term ‘His provision to be increased’ means to be expanded and made abundant or, it was said, to be blessed (Barakah).”
𝟑) 𝐆𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲: Allah, may He be Exalted, says: “Say: Truly, my Lord enlarges the provision for whom He wills of His slaves, and (also) restricts (it) for him, and whatsoever you spend of anything (in Allah’s Cause), He will replace it. And He is the Best of providers.” [Saba’ 34:39]
Muslim (2588) narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Charity does not decrease wealth.” An-Nawawi said: “The scholars mentioned two meanings of this Hadith, one of which is that (the wealth) will be blessed (as a result of giving charity ) and harm will be warded off from it, so the apparent decrease will be compensated for by means of hidden blessing. This is something that is well known from experience. The second is that even if it appears to be decreased outwardly, there will be compensation for that in the reward that result from it, and it will be increased manifold.”
𝟒) 𝐁𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐡 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐟𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐇𝐢𝐦: Allah, may He be exalted, says: “And whosoever fears Allah and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty). And He will provide him from (sources) he never could imagine.” [At-Talaq 65:2-3]
𝟓) 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐇𝐚𝐣𝐣 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐔𝐦𝐫𝐚𝐡 𝐨𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐧, following one with the other: At-Tirmidhi (810) narrated that Abdullah ibn Masud said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “Make the Hajj and `Umrah follow each other closely, for they remove poverty and sins as the bellows removes the dross of iron, gold and silver, and an accepted Hajj brings no less a reward than Paradise.” (It was classed as authentic by Al-Albani)
𝟔) 𝐃𝐮𝐚 (𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧): It was narrated by Ibn Majah (925) from Umm Salamah that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to say, after he said the Salam at the end of Fajr prayer: “Allahumma inni as’aluka `ilman nafi`an, wa rizqan tayyiban, wa `amalan mutaqabbalan (O Allah, I ask you for beneficial knowledge, good (lawful) provision, and accepted good deeds).” (Classed as authentic by Al-Albani in Sahih Ibn Majah)
