hmm..2-3 hari ni encek hubby mengajak berjln-jln..

bile preggy x berani la pulak nk jln jauh2 smpi naik plane..baby's safety lg penting!so kite tggu after deliver ye kite jln2 ngan baby skali!(mcm la byk masa free nk jln2)hehe..
snowboard pun aku x pegi..dak2 batch g 2 hari tp encek suami pegi esok mlm package berlainan higaeri je but at the same place..hehe
mls nk g sbb bkn leh main pon nnt menggigil kesejukan sorg2 buat snowman kat bwh je kan..hehe..
plus naik bus..so xmo amek risiko pslnye diriku ini amat kerap ke toilet lg2 preggy nih..kang dlm bas nk ke toilet je memanjang payah la pulak kan..hehe
xpe nnt ade tiket g japan murah kite g ekk ngan baby skali main snowboard(berangan lagi!)haha..

ok disebabkan plan nk jln2 ditangguhkan(g mne tapinye?) mari kite stat pikir nk habiskan duet encek suami beli ape new year sale nnt(mcm la byk duit sgt kan!)..haha..

encek suami slalu la berangan nk beli rumah kat jepun..die ckp duk kat kampung2 pun xpe la umah kecik2 pun xpe..cuti2 bole blk jepun..berangan je!hehe..

kalo tnye encek hubby senang je die jwb..duk umah jaga anak je lah!huhu..
mmg la best duk umah jd fulltime hw je tapi nye bile difikir2kan mcm nk kena keja gak je..bile blk msia tgk brg bukan makin murah pun..nnt rumah lg keta lg anak lg itu ini dsb..sian le encek hubby kalo die sorg2..at least bole la tlg die bile time memerlukan ke kan..huhu..plg2 tak saving utk masa depan anak2 nnt..huhu..

a.u.t.u.m.n

ingt nk buat entry ni on da same day blk dr kouyoumi(autumn sightseeing) tp nyee..blk dah letih terus tdo..pstu nk tulis smlm satu hari bz pegi sopping lak..so hari ni merajinkan la diri buat entry ni even mls sbnrnye..haha..

last sunday x watpe so encik suami ajak kuar..die bg choices nk gi machida ke gi kouyoumi kat ooyama san..bile pikir2 machida anytime pon bole pegi..tp ooyama san ni dr last year lagi nk pegi tp x pegi2..hehe..so decided pegi ooyama san lah..lagi pun x pegi lagi kouyoumi thn ni..n lg smgt nk pegi bile pikir this will be our last autumn in japan..huhu

i.k.h.l.a.s

anda rasa anda ikhlas dlm membuat sesuatu??
moh le kite belajar pasal IKHLAS ni spy kita bole jadi ikhlas dgn setiap apa yg kita buat..
ikhlas ni dtg dari HATI..yg bermaksud kita lakukan sesuatu demi mencari keredhaan Allah..
tanpa disertai dgn hawa nafsu, pangkat & kedudukan, kemasyhuran, pujian etc...
sooo..marilah kita sentiasa memperbetulkan niat kita sebelum memulakan sesuatu utk medapat keredhaan Allah n secara x lgsg dpt dekatkan diri kita dgn pencipta kita..
berusaha!!huhu

insyaAllah kalau kita ikhlas iman bole bertambah..
kalau kita x ikhlas camne Allah nk terima amal/perbuatan kita tu..so kalo x ikhlas, kebarangkalian utk x dpt pahala tu tinggi..
niat tanpa ikhlas adalah sia-sia..

"dan Kami hadapi segala amal yang mereka kerjakan, lalu kami jadikan amal itu sebagai debu berterbangan" (Al-Furqan:23)

dr ayat diatas dptlah kita simpulkan yang Allah menilai sesuatu amal melalui keikhlasan yg dtg dr hati..bukan dr rupa n bentuk amal yg dilakukan semata-mata..

so, kita kena teliti n nilai amal yg kita lakukan sentiasa ikhlas x kira di rumah, tmpt kerja, tmpt bljr etc n mengikut syarak supaya masa&tenaga yg kita gunakan tidak sia-sia n amal kita diterima sbg amal soleh..

hanya dgn keikhlasan dpt membantu kita mengawal diri atau keinginan tersembunyi yg lebih bahaya daripada daripada apa-apa yg kelihatan..wallahualam..

*hasil dari pembacaan..sedang belajar mengikhlaskan diri..huhu

2nd check up~

hari ni ade appointment ngan doc for 2nd check up...
1st check up last 2 weeks..ms tu baby baru 5 weeks n tgk gmbr doc scan sgt la kecik babynyee..

pegi2 doc buat ultrasound then bg gmbr scan baby n then terus tnye.."ade ape2 nk tnye?"
err terdiam jap..aku ke yg kena tnye?bkn doc yg kena bg advice?haha..adeh la docc..

aku pun tnye la soalan "doc bole ke sy mkn sushi?"(sbb smlm nye aku mkn sushi)*risau*..aku check kt internet sume kate x bole mkn..

skali doc jwb "eehh..nape pulak x bole..mkn je..sushi tu sedap!"huhu..doc ckp camtu lega la skett kire x la kempunan je tgk sushi kalo org lain mkn*yeayy*
pastu aku da blank nk tnye ape..doc ni mmg x bg advice pape pun psl vitamin ke supplement ke..

aku pun tnye la.."doc asid folic,iron,sume tu xyah mkn ke?"..

doc jwb "ehh..mkn pun xpe..bgs tuu"..tu jee??ok serius da blank nk tnye ape pastu..haha

org2 kat msia sibuk duk srh aku g jmpe doc amek asid folic,iron etc..skali doc x bg ape2 pun..
blk tu cam x puas ati aku tnye la senior2 yg tgh pregnant mmg camtu ke doc kat sini..

senior2 ckp mmg cmtu style doc kat sini..xde bg advice sgt n vitamin ke supplement ke mmg xdpt..beli sendiri sume..

diaorg ckp mebe org2 jepun kan mknn diaorg sihat2 xde la mknnye cam org msia berlemak berminyak sume tu so diaorg xyah amek supplement sgt kot..

oho..mmg cmtu la ekk...ptg tu encek suami g farmasi belikan asid folic n calcium tablet*tq syg*

precious moment!

3 words..

subhanallah..alhamdulillah...allahuakbar..

raya pun dah habiss..

syawal pun dah habis n dah masuk bln zulkaedah dah..

adehh...klaka la bile ingt blk raya aku thn ni..

poyo je ckp x blk msia...siap dah plan nk g embassy kul bape..nk masak ape utk raya..nk g hachioji bile..n nadia pun mintak alamat nk bg kad raya konon2 x blk..haha

skaliiii..pegi blk msia pulak!iskk..

ni sume gara2 encik suami lah ni...

ku dah setting mind nk raya kat japan dah tapi..tibe2..org tu menghasut tuk blk msia lak(padahal die mmg nk blk msia kot?)hehe...

adeh la 3/4 days b4 blk msia baru decide nk beli tiket kot..klaka tul..

disebabkan aku dah setting mind nk raya kt msia maka siap dah bg org lain pinjam kad kredit nk beli tiket diaorg blk msia...adeh la...nasib la kad encik suami boleh guna..

itulah encik suami saya..suke mengubah2 keputusannye disaat akhir..org darah B camni kot??gurau saje!haha

pastu jugak nasib lah abg ku blk melaka sehari sblm raya so bole srh die amek kt airport..parents aku mmg dah blk melaka awal2 dah..kalo x...raya kt kl sensorg kot?hehe

ku blk sensorg je..encik suami suh blk dulu wpun berat sgt hati nk tglkan die sbb encik suami ade presentation raya ke 5...raya ke 7 br la die nk smpi msia..

baju raya pun xde mood nk beli sbb encik suami xde..recycle je baju2 yg lps2..

tp mmg nmpk kehappyan parents ku bile aku smpi..hehe..kt kg sume bergotong royong dr pagi smpi lah nk berbuka prepare food utk raya..n the best part is kuih bakar dibuat kembali lps lama x buat setelah nenek tercinta pergi..meniup lah sume org menghidupkan api nk bkr kuih tuu..hehe

lg best kalau encik suami ade kannnn...huhu..

tp mmg menjwb laa aku bile beraya.."mana cik abg?""mana husband awk?""mana suami?"...adeh laa..tiap kali salam org soklan yg same kena jwb...

tu belum cmpur soklan2 lain "bile nk ade baby?""bile nk bg ****(anak diaorg) kwn?" dsb..letih menjwb nye...lps ni tobattt xnk blk sensorg dah..hehe..
raya ke 7 kul 530 pagi dah kuar nk g amek encik suami kat lcct..1st time drive sensorg pepagi buta g lcct..mmg cuak tp buat2 berani..haha..tp bile dah jmpe encik suami tu lega gilee~

sian encik suami..org dah habis beraya die baru nk beraya..xpelahh yg pnting dpt jmpe family kann..

a short holiday @msia but very2 meaningful..rasa x nk blk jepun dahhh..hehe..

another 6 months left...skettt je lagi..ganbarimasu!

got 2 choices only!

yes..i've decided to make it either we both go back to msia or not to go back at all..

huwaaa...kalau lah msia ngan jepun tu cam sabah ngan srwk je mmg dah blk dahhh!

alkisahnye smlm baru je tweet psl homesick(terdgr lgu raya kat radio nye psl)haha..

tetibe mlm smlm ayah call..ingt call saje nk borak(padahal kelmarin aku br je call)..

ni tetibe je xpasal2 ckp kalau boleh blk msia blk le..siap nk support tiket both of us lagi..

mcm paham2 je aku tgh homesick(sikit je!)hehe..

tp tu la..peliknyeeee tetibe je!xpnah2 cmni..iskk..siap bg cadangan itu ini bagai sbb aku ckp cam impossible je nk blk..

bile ayah pass phone kpd bonda tercinta pulak lagi la buat aku sedih!aku tanye nape tetibe ayah srh blk..die ckp ayah rndu kot sbb asek tnye pasal aku je lately..iskk T_T

then mule la ayat2 drama dr bonda tercinta kuar "blk la cpt, nnt ade la kawan nk sopping2, nk buat kuih, nk borak2" "blk tau, dah x sabar dah ni tggu kak ngah blk" etc..

air mata dah x tahan dah..terkeluar jugakk..die bknnye bole dgr aku nangis die pun start nangis gakk..iskk lagi!!

then aku ckp let me discuss ngan hazmi dulu..

the prob is bukannye x nk blk..tp encek suami agak bz..raya ke 5/6 ada presentation..pastu nk settlekan visa application nk gakkai nnt lg etc..

encek suami srh aku blk dulu sorg2 nnt lps settle sume bnde lps raya die blk msia..

tp aku xnk le blk sorg2 raya tanpa die nnt..x best le blk sensorg..ayah pun pesan srh blk berdua..

hmmm..setelah kami fikir2kan..maka keputusannya adalah x blk msia...

ntah ape la ekk yg ayah aku ckp nnt bile aku gtau x dpt blk msia..tggu die blk terawikh nnt br nk call..huhu

*aah ekk selama ni tiap2 taun aku blk time puasa&raya..thn ni je x blk..

it happened on 11th!

ckp psl 11 hb mesti org2 yg duk jepun x lupe kot tarikh ni ek?ke aku je?haha

erm..11hb Mac 2011..gempa bumi yg kuat smpi terjadinye tsunami berpusat kat Miyagi..

aku mmg x leh lupe la kot sbb masa terjadinye gempa tu family aku ade skali..

masa tu kitaorg kat atsugi otw nk g nippori..n that time mmg tgh borak2 pasal gempa bumi..diaorg tnye gempa slalu ke jd kat jepun ni..

tgh2 borak tetibe en suami brek mengejut..sket lg nk langgar lori dpn..

aku tnye la nape tetibe brek..then en suami ckp lori dpn tetibe brek mengejut..

pastu aku tgk pakcik2 kat kilang sblh tmpt kitaorg berenti tu lari kuar dr kilang..

pastu tiang letrik sblh keta kitaorg bergoyang..n tetibe kereta pun bergoncang..

ehhh..ni gempa ni aku ckp..pastu makin lame makin kuat lak keta ni bergoyang..tiang sebelah pun ade harapan nk hempap keta kalo gempa kuat sket lagi..huwaaa..parents aku dah istighfar dah..dlm hati aku fikir mne la nk bwk lari diaorg ni..lari dlm sawah je la ekk sbb kwsn yg luas ade sawah je..huhu..alhamdulillah x lama lps tu keadaaan kembali cam biasa..

selama duk jepun mmg x pnah rase la gempa sekuat tu..bkak la radio kot2 ade bgtau psl gempa tu..radio bgtau 30 mins lg tsunami dtg..so org2 yg kt pantai die srh blk..

kitaorg terperangkap kat tokyo dlm 8 jam(padahal tokyo n umah sejam lebih je)

err byk la yg terjd pnjg kot kalo aku nk cite...

lps tsunami masalah nuclear plant pulakk..nuclear plant nye cooling system rosak so terbakar..maka bahan radioaktif pun terbebaslah..huwaa..dugaan betul kan?

yg aku risau flight diaorg sok ni..mmg x tdo la kitaorg sume risau..

at last setelah berpuluh kali try dpt gak cnfirmkan flight..delay sehari la tp..

flight kul 10 pagi tp kul 3 pagi kitaorg dah kuar umah sbb risau jammed tkut terlps flight..padahal g airport sejam lebih je..hehe..

lps hntr diaorg aku n en suami fikir psl kitaorg lak..should we go home or shoudnt..

setelah melihat berita maka ptg tu jugak kitaorg terus beli online tiket..flight hari khamis sbb tu je plg murah..first time naik airasia sbb tu je plg murah.. kalo tgk harga tiket mas mmg melampau..x mampuuu..huhu..

akhirnye blk jugak ke msia..

erm skrg ni pun byk gak gempa yg agak kuat..every week mesti ade..

n diaorg predict akan berlaku lagi gempa kuat mcm 11 mac tu lps ni tp x tau bile..

nuclear plant pun byk dah tutup..

tawakkal je la ekk..aku redha je pape terjadi sbb siapelah yg mmpu lawan kuasa Allah kan..

doa yg terbaik je lah kot ekk..hehe

ramadhan terakhir diperantaun

sedih je title kan..haha
yes, probably our last ramadhan n hari raya at japan..

bln 3 next year kitaorg blk msia for good dah insyaAllah..
before this mmg every year akan blk msia dlm bln ramadhan then biasa nye mmg blk raya skali(masa first year kat jpn je yg x smpt tggu smpi raya dah kena blk jpn blk)..

tp kali ni x le blk..sbbnye encek suami ade presentation raya ke-6 nnt..

so byk bnde nk kena prepare utk presentation die tu..

nasib la kitaorg x gatal tgn g bli tiket balik masa ade promo hari tu..kalo x burn gtu je la tiketnye..
encek suami srh aku blk msia sorg2 sbb die x dpt blk..

mmg aku xnk le kalo blk sorg2 tanpa encek suami..x best le kalu die xde skali..huhu

takpelah..lebih rela stay dr blk sensorg..berdua lebih baik..kann?hehe..

smlm ade sorg mmber nk blk jpn blk..so kitaorg pun tumpang le brg srh die bwk blk skali..
M.I.L ku siap bekalkan ikan keli lagi..maklum le encek suami ni fanatik ikan keli..

aku lps knal die br le reti mkn ikan keli..sblm2 tu mmg aku x pnah mkn ikan keli..
wpun sedikit sedih x dpt blk tp as long as encek suami ade syukur dah..
berbuka msk ala kadar utk berdua pun dah kenyang..

terawih pun cam biasa alhamdulillah..kalu xde terawih luar kitaorg terawih kat rumah berdua je..
target aku sebelum blk msia for good nih nk g melawat sume2 masjid yg ade kt tokyo(agak jauh kalu nk diikutkan)..teringin sgt nk g..asyik dgr org ckp je masjid2 tu cantik..huhu

moga2 terlaksana lah impian ku itu..

life is beautiful!

"Oh Allah, teach me to love others just like I love myself, teach me to judge myself just like I judge others. And if I have wronged anyone,give me the courage to apologize, and if anyone wronged me, give me the courage to forgive because you have taught me that forgiveness is the highest level of strength and revenge is the highest level of weakness. And I ask you not to forget me in your forgiveness.."

beautiful doa indeed..

f.u.t.u.r.e

nikmatnye mkn karipap sardin time hujan2 nih..mmg layan..alhamdulillah..huhu

ok lari topik..hehe

dua tiga empat menjak ni kekdg sedikit cuak bila pk masa depan..

ngape cuak??

sbb..byk sbb..aku nnt cmne la?family pun cmne la?sape la bole predict masa depan die kan..

mungkin masa depan nnt sgt mencabar mencabar(mmg kot?)..or x mencabar lgsg?hehe..

cemana lah anak2 aku(wpun xde ank lg) n anak2 korg nk survive nnt bila tgk keadaan skrg..huhu

so..hari2 lah aku motivate diri sendiri to give the best i can..

nnt kalu dah ade anak lagi lah kan..responsible makin bertambah n of course have to prepare the best for them..

berusaha setakat mana yg termampu..then tawakkal..

bukan prepare duit semata-mata tp kena prepare semua..

mental,fizikal,jasadi n ruhani...

waa..cuakk..mampu kah??

ganbarimasu!!

back to the past?

ingt zaman firaun?

zaman dimana rakyat amat patuh,taat pd firaun wpun die seorg pemerintah yg zalim..

pembesar2 pd zaman tu amat memuliakan firaun sbb takut kehilangan kuasa,kedudukan n harta yg ada pd mereka..

rakyat rela 'ditindas' krn lebih takutkan firaun dr lebih takut pd Allah..

n see what happen nowadays..doesnt it reflect us??

rakyat lebih takutkan pemimpin yg 'zalim'..

pemegang2 kuasa pentingkan kedudukan n harta dgn rasuah,menipu,bodohkan rakyat,etc..

n rakyat tetap rasa 'aman' wpun ditindas..

x bermaksud 'aman' xde ape2 perubahan perlu dilakukan..perubahan perlu utk dptkan negara yg LEBIH aman..

rakyat2 sekelian..anda mempunyai hak utk mendapatkan kerajaan yg amanah n adil..

ambil iktibar dr apa yg berlaku dimesir sehingga hosni mubarak dpt dijatuhkan..

n my opinion towards BERSIH

apa yg dituntut mmg sesuatu yg patut sbb rakyat ada hak utk berbuat demikian..n kena tunjuk sket "kezaliman" pemimpin2 ni biar rakyat buka mata n tahu perkara sbnr..tp alangkah indahnya jika ia tidak dicampuradukkan dgn politik,agama etc..

buatlah lah ia demi kepentingan rakyat..demi negara..bukan utk kepentingan individu,politik,agama masing2 etc..

mcm mesir buat..mereka buat bukan utk politik,indvidu etc tapi utk semua rakyat demi mendpatkan keadilan setelah ditindas sebegitu lama..n akhirnya mereka berjaya..

jgn ikut emosi..fikir berpandukan akal sebelum bertindak..

TAPI..maybe kita masih belum smpi utk ke tahap itu lagi..moga satu hari nnt ianya tercapai juga..

PEACE~

panas sini n panas kat msia lain..rasanye kalo skrg msia lagi pns kot suhu kat luar smpi je kot 38C..

tapi humidity kat msia rendah nk compare ngan humidity kat sini..

bile humidity kat sini lagi tinggi susah la peluh nk kuar so bdn rasa pns..

kt msia eventho pns but humidity rendah..sng berpeluh so bdn rasa sejuk la sket sbb haba kuar through peluh tu..huhu

bile summer mula la symptom2 x best akan melanda diri..kalo kat sini dipanggil 夏ばて(summer lethargy)..

lain org lain kot symptom die..

kalo aku la akan hilang selera nk mkn..pastu slalu rasa nk muntah je..pening2 mcm nk pitam kdg2..iskk cam symptom2 org tgh pregnant lak kan..haha..

google2 n tnye2 org lain mostly ckp kalau summer kdg2 rasa cmtu..baru aku tau..hehe

kena minum byk2 air n balm akan dibawa kemana saje ku pergi..

sape2 yg kat jepun nih bersabar lah ye menahan kepanasan ni..nak2 bulan 8 nnt lagi pns n tgh bulan puasa..ganbatte minna!!

夏ばてに気を付けましょう～

S.Y.U.K.U.R

day 458 with dearest hubby..alhamdulillah syukurr..

dan tadi terbaca tentang grateful(syukur)..14:7..

"and [remember] when your Lord proclaimed, "if you are grateful, I will surely increase you [in favor], but if you deny, indeed, My punishment is severe"

dan (ingatlah) tatakala Tuhan kamu memberitahu: "Demi sesungguhnya! Jika kamu bersyukur nescaya Aku akan tambahi nikmatKu kepada kamu, dan demi sesungguhnya, jika kamu kufur ingkar sesungguhnya azabKu amatlah keras"

sungguh menusuk ayat ni masa terbaca tadi..huhu

adakah anda bersyukur setiap hari setiap masa?ataupun hanya bersyukur jika mendpt sesuatu yg best or doa anda diperkenankan shj?(bertnya pd diri sendiri juga)hehe..

syukur ni kalau kita faham dia adalah satu tuntutan..kalau kita bersyukur bermakna kita terima dgn semua yg diberi Allah dan kalau Allah x bagi tu jgn la sedih..sabar..maybe Dia ada yg lebih baik utk kita nnti..who knows..

dan kalau kita bersyukur kita x kan persoalkan apa yg Allah jadikan utk kita..

kalau kita mendapat kesenangan/nikmat kita bersyukur sbb ia adalah kebaikan dan bila mendapat kesusahan kita bersabar sbb ia juga adalah kebaikan bagi kita..ni kalau ditimpa susah sket dah give up..mengeluh salahkan org lain/nasib/takdir..meminta-minta..diri sendiri boleh je atasi kesusahan tu kalau berusaha n bersabar..

dan pernah terdengar org berkata "nikmat Allah dtg sekali sekala..maka hendaklah kita bersyukur"

nikmat Allah tu bukannya dtg sekali sekala n bukan masa dpt nikmat tu je kita bersyukur..tapi nikmat Allah tu hampir setiap saat..kita tidur,dpt bernafas,dpt berjln,dpt mkn minum,etc semua tu adalah nikmat..bygkan kalau kita x dpt tidur..kan tensen..so hidup seharian kita tu penuh dgn nikmat sebenarnye maka setiap hari setiap masa kena bersyukur..

cara bersyukur tu bukan dengan ucap Alhamdulillah(lisan) shj..selain lisan kita boleh bersyukur dgn hati(dktkan diri dgn Allah,amar ma'ruf nahi munkar etc),perbuatan(guna pd jln Allah,sedekah etc)..

org yg x bersyukur x kan cukup/puas hati dgn apa yg dimiliki..apa yg kita ada malah diri kita sendiri ni pun hanya lah dipinjamkan sahaja..nnt semuanya akan dikembalikan ke tempat asal masing2..berpada-padalah dgn apa yg dimiliki..

dan nampakkan lah nikmat yang Allah berikan sesuai dgn batasnya..

selalulah ingt nikmat yg telah diberikan so that kita akan lebih bersyukur..lebih byk bersykur lebih byk berkat n nikmat yg kita akan dpt mcm dlm ayat diatas tu insyaAllah..

*kalau salah/apa yg terkurg silalah tegur..ini apa yg saya faham je..ganbare diri sendiri!

selamat hari jadi!

where you can find barakah??

I've found this article is very interesting..so would like to share it with others..

If we were to look for an Islamic definition of Productivity, it can probably be summarised in the word “barakah” or Blessing. Being able to achieve more with few resources, doing much in little time, and generating a lot with little effort is surely a blessing from Allah (Subahanahu Wa Ta’ala). Yet Barakah has somehow become a lost treasure these days; everyone’s looking for it, but no one seems to find it! You always hear people complaining that there’s no barakah in their time, no barakah in their sleep, no barakah in their money and the rest of it.

In this article, we’ll solve this mystery inshaAllah: we’ll find out what Barakah is and where you can find it!
What is Barakah?

A Well-known daee explains it as follows:
والبركة: هي ثبوت الخير الإلهي في الشيء؛ فإنها إذا حلت في قليل كثرته، وإذا حلت في كثير نفع، ومن أعظم ثمار البركة في الأمور كلها إستعمالها في طاعة الله عز وجل.

“Barakah is the attachment of Divine goodness to a thing, so if it occurs in something little, it increases it. And if it occurs in something much it benefits. And the greatest fruits of Barakah in all things is to use that barakah in the obedience of Allah (Subahanahu Wa Ta’ala)”

Sources of Barakah

I’m a firm believer that Barakah is not a lost treasure, rather, it’s right in front of our eyes! This treasure is only available and ready to be handed over to the one who works for it. Below, I list some of the sources of Barakah. It’s not an exhaustive list, therefore, I do hope you can contribute to it with your comments inshaAllah so we can all share and extend our understanding of this great treasure at ProductiveMuslim.com!

1. Good Intentions

If you want something to have barakah attached to it, have good intentions for it. More specifically, make sure that deed is intended for the sake of Allah (Subahanahu Wa Ta’ala). Looking again at the definition of Barakah, you may guess that without us intending what we have or do for the Sake of Allah, the “Divine goodness” won’t be found in our deeds.

2. Piety and Belief in Allah

Allah says in the Quran: “If the people of the towns had but believed and feared Allah, We should indeed have opened out to them (All kinds of) blessings from heaven and earth…”(Surah Al-A’raf, Verse 96). And He says in the Quran: “And for those who fear Allah, He (ever) prepares a way out. And He provides for him from (sources) he never could imagine” (Surah Al-Talaq, Verses 2-3).

3. Putting your trust in Allah

Allay says in the Quran: “And if any one puts his trust in Allah, sufficient is (Allah) for him. For Allah will surely accomplish his purpose. Verily, for all things has Allah appointed a due proportion” (Surah Al-Talaq, verses 3)
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “If only you relied on Allah a true reliance, He would provide sustenance for you just as He does the birds: They fly out in the morning empty and return in the afternoon with full stomachs. (Ahmad, An-Nasa’I, Ibn Majah, Al-Hakim and At-Tirmidhi)

4. Reading Quran

This is the fountain of Barakah! But subhanaAllah, we rarely drink from it! Allah says in the Quran: “And this is a Book which We have sent down, bringing blessings, and confirming (the revelations) which came before it…” (Surah Al-An’am, Verse 92). So read the Quran, and observe the blessings and barakah of Allah enter your life. The further we are from this Book of Guidance, the less barakah we will have in our lives.

5. Saying Bismillah

When you say “Bismillah” before anything you do, you’re invoking the Name of Allah on that activity; not only will that activity be blessed but shaytaan cannot take part in it! So always say “Bismillah” before anything you do! mSubhanaAllah, it’s easy for us to forget to say “Bismillah”. Sometimes we’re so used to saying it that we cannot remember whether we said it or not! Try to be conscious of saying “Bismillah” and understand what you’re saying before your action is performed.

6. Eating with People

Anyone who has had the experience of inviting guests to his/her house will know this one. No matter how little you think the food you’re presenting to your guest is, it’s always more than enough! (Note: this is not an excuse to be miserly when you invite guests over; in fact we should follow the Sunnah of our Prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) whom when visited by the angels prepared a large meal for them). What I’m referring to here is the blessing that occurs when eating together, confirmed in the hadeeth of Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) who said: “Eat together, for blessing is in Jamma’a (congregation or being together)…” and in another hadeeth:“Whoever has food enough for two persons, should take a third one, and whoever has food enough for four persons, should take a fifth or a sixth (or said something similar).” (Bukhari, Volume 4. Book 56. Number 781)

7. Honesty in Trade

This is for all of the business people out there (include ebayers!). We shouldn’t assume lying and deceiving people will make our trade profitable. On the contrary, it will remove the blessing from your trade. Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:“The buyer and the seller have the option of canceling or confirming the bargain unless they separate, and if they spoke the truth and made clear the defects of the goods, then they would be blessed in their bargain, and if they told lies and hid some facts, their bargain would be deprived of Allah’s blessings”.( Bukhari, Volume 3, Book 34, Number 293)

Yes, it’s difficult to be honest when you’re trying to sell something, but trust me it’s worth it.

8. Dua

Ask Allah for barakah! If you take note of some of the Duas of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) you’ll notice that the Prophet used to make dua for barakah. We always say: “May Allah bless you!” Well, guess what? That’s a source of barakah! Also, when you’re invited to someone’s house, Prophet Muhammad advised us to make the following dua for the host: “O Allah, bless for them, that which You have provided them, forgive them and have mercy upon them.”

9. Halal Income/money

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “O people, Allah is good and He therefore, accepts only that which is good” (Scholars say this refers to Halal income and the importance of it).

A scholar also said of the one who eats Haram, that his limbs will disobey Allah whether he likes it or not, and that the one who eats Halal and seeks Halal income, his limbs will also do good and will be given the permission to seek goodness.

This concept of your limbs being ‘blessed’ and enabled to do good is truly a blessing and a barakah we should all seek. It reminds me of a story of an old man who jumped a large distance that the young men were unable to jump. When the young men asked the old man how he did it, he replied: “These are our limbs: we protected them from committing sins when we were young, so Allah preserved them for us when we got old”.

10. Following the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad in everything

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the most Productive Man in the history of humanity is our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Therefore, by simply following his lifestyle and the acts of Sunnah we so often hear about, we obtain a great source of Barakah!

Some of these Sunnahs include: eating Suhoor, eating with the right hand from the side of the plate, going out for Eid Salah, licking your fingers after finishing your meal, sleeping on your right hand side, using the siwaak, and many more. Look out for these Sunnahs and follow them, for imitating the life of the most blessed man on earth is surely a source of blessing!

11. Praying Istikhara

Praying istikhara in all matters and then leaving the outcome to Allah as well as accepting His Decree is a great source of barakah. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) taught us this beautiful dua which helps us make decisions and not regret the choices we make in the following hadeeth:
On the authority of Jaabir Ibn ‘Abdullah he said: “The Prophet (peace be upon him) would instruct us to pray for guidance in all of our concerns, just as he would teach us a chapter from the Qur’an. He (peace be upon him) would say: ‘If any of you intends to undertake a matter then let him pray two supererogatory units (two rak’ah optional nafil) of prayer and after which he should supplicate:
‘O Allah, I seek Your counsel by Your knowledge and by Your power I seek strength and I ask You from Your immense favour, for verily You are able while I am not and verily You know while I do not and You are the Knower of the unseen. O Allaah, if You know this affair -and here he mentions his need- to be good for me in relation to my religion, my life, and end, then decree and facilitate it for me, and bless me with it, and if You know this affair to be ill for me towards my religion, my life, and end, then remove it from me and remove me from it, and decree for me what is good wherever it be and make me satisfied with such.”

One who seeks guidance from his Creator and consults his fellow believers and then remains firm in his resolve does not regret for Allah has said:
‘…and consult them in the affair. Then when you have taken a decision, put your trust in Allah…” [Quran 3: 159]

12. Giving thanks to Allah in abundance

Allah says in the Quran: “If ye are grateful, I will add more (favours) unto you”. A scholar once told me that if one looks into this verse, the Arabic word that is used to confirm that Allah Wills favours unto the person who thanks Him is actually in the form of an Oath – “La azidannakum”. So Allah is promising the person who thanks Him an increase in goodness and blessings, and Allah never breaks His promises.

13. Charity

In a Hadeeth Qudsi, Allah says: “O son of Adam, spend (in charity), and I’ll spend on you!” Whenever you are broke, or you feel barakah is zapped out of your life and urgently need it to return, the quickest of way of gaining barakah in your life can be through giving charity. For example, let’s say barakah was removed from your life due to a sin you committed; charity cleanses your sins, adds good deeds and is a source of barakah.

I cannot describe the instantaneous gratification of giving charity and the barakah that follows it. Try it NOW!

14. Tying your ties of kinship

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, “Allah created His creation, and when He had finished it, the womb, got up and caught hold of Allah whereupon Allah said, “What is the matter?’ On that, it said, “I seek refuge with you from those who sever the ties of Kith and kin.” On that Allah said, “Will you be satisfied if I bestow My favours on him who keeps your ties, and withhold My favours from him who severs your ties?” On that it said, “Yes, O my Lord!” Then Allah said, “That is for you.” Abu Huraira added: “If you wish, you can recite: ‘Would you then if you were given the authority do mischief in the land and sever your ties of kinship?” (Bukhari, Volume 6. Book 60. Number 354)

15. Waking up early

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: “Allah made the early hours blessed for my Ummah.”(Ahmed)

This hadeeth was what spurred me to create ProductiveMuslim.com! Such gems of productivity are the sources of blessings which we should seek to make our life productive. Waking up early is such an important step to being blessed and feeling good throughout your day.
Try to wake up for Tahajjud, and then work during the hours before Fajr Salah. If you cannot, then at least wake up for Fajr and stay up till sunrise before you return to sleep. Those hours are filled with Barakah. If you’re able to go to work in those hours, do so, you’ll get much more work done than the whole day put together!

16. Marriage

Allah says in the Quran: “Marry those among you who are single, or the virtuous ones among yourselves, male or female: if they are in poverty, Allah will give them means out of His grace: for Allah encompasseth all, and He Knoweth all things.” (Quran 24:32)

Speaking of marriage, I highly recommend the following training course to anyone seriously thinking of getting married: www.Practimate.com.

17. Salah

Allah says in the Quran: “Enjoin prayer on thy people, and be constant therein. We ask thee not to provide sustenance: We provide it for thee. But the (fruit of) the Hereafter is for righteousness”. To illustrate the point of Salah further, just imagine your life without this great act of ibadah. Where would Barakah come from? For those of you who are still wavering in your Salah, please get back on track; this is your lifeline for the final destination in the hereafter, and the daily food for your soul.

18. Asking Allah for forgiveness

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “If anyone continually asks forgiveness from Allah, Allah will appoint for him a way out of every distress, and a relief from every anxiety, and will provide for him from where he did not reckon.”

I hope this covers most of the sources of Barakah, but as I said before, this is not an exhaustive list. Please add your sources and recommend more tips for us to share.
