For the dinner table

Today’s khutbah taught that barakah means Allah placing lasting blessing in our health, wealth, time, and relationships. Anas ibn Malik asked the Prophet for barakah, and the speaker explained that it can appear differently in each person’s life. We can seek it by remembering Allah, saying Bismillah, greeting others with salam, and keeping family ties strong. We should work hard while trusting Allah to provide through means we may not expect. The invitation is to make these simple habits part of family life and stay open and connected to one another.

  3. When have you seen effort and trust in Allah work together?
