🌿 Cultivating Barakah

Sometimes we feel like we just don't have enough—not enough time, not enough energy, not enough peace. But Barakah is an unseen blessing that makes what little we have feel sufficient and fulfilling. It’s the grace that allows a few moments to feel like hours of quality time, or a small effort to bring immense reward. It’s not about how much we have, but how much good comes from what we've been given.

🎯Do: This weekend, try to invite Barakah into your day. Before you start any activity—whether it's cooking a meal, getting in your car, or spending time with family—say Bismillah with sincere intention. After you're done, say Alhamdulillah. Notice how this simple practice can bring a feeling of peace and purpose to your actions.
