In this time of inflation or mehngai everyone is worried about the gap between its expenditures and income. People ask for ways, wazaif and duain to increase rizq and to have barkat in rizq. In this article, there is duain, wazaif and a few tested ways from Quran and Hadith to increase rizq opportunities. Rizq is an Arabic word which has very wide meaning. It not only means the money you earn but it means opportunities, skills, children, spouse, job and any blessing that makes your life better and happy. There are many wazaif and duain for barkat in rizq, but before start, there is one quote that will definitely boost your desperate or disappointed hopes
"Naseeb say zyada nhi aur waqat say pehley nhi"

That you always keep faith on Allah and keep on trying with honesty and hard work as God help those who help themselves. Here are ways to increase rizq and barkat in rizq:
6 ways to increase rizq


1. Say Astaghfar 

It is one of the best and tested method for barkat in rizq. Make it a habit to do a regular tasbeeh of Astaghfar daily. It seeks new opportunities to increase your rizq and put barkat in it.

Allah says in Surah Nooh in Quran:

"Ask forgiveness (astaghfar) from your Lord; surely He is most forgiving.10
He will shower upon you torrents from heaven, 11 
and will provide you with wealth and children, and will bestow upon you gardens and rivers 12."

Just ponder that Allah says that you just say astaghfar and He will bestow gardens and rivers for you.

Our prophet Muhammad PBUH also said in a hadith that means:

"Jis nay astaghfar ko apnay uper lazim kr liya tau Allah us ki hr pareshani dur farmaye ga. Hr tangi say rahat farmaye ga aur usay aesi jaga say rizq day ga jis ka usay guman bhi an ho." (Sunan abi make 3819)

Do astaghfar and God will provide you rizq from the way that you just can't think of.



There is not any specific number of any tasbeeh in Islam. Anyone can do astaghfar tasbeeh according to convenience, but it should be regular for rizq ki barkat and increase in it.

2. Surat Al Waqiah


Our prophet said in Hadith that means:

"Whoever recites Surah Waqiah at night will never witness poverty" (inn Sunni 620)

Many men and women has narrated that 
A daily recitation of Surah Waqiah after Maghrib prayer which just takes 5 minutes has shown it's magical spell to increase their rizq and have put barkat in it. Surat Waqiah should be recited even you're at better financial status as it  saves anyone to slip into poverty.

3. Say Alhamdulillah, Allah tera shukar hai or Be thankful to increase rizq


Allah says in Quran:

"If you say thanks, I'll surely give you more"14:7

(Agar tum shukar kro gay tau mai tumhey aur doon ga)

Here one boy told his success story after being thankful to Allah:

'I was jobless for long as all of my interviews met at hopeless ending. On that day,
I was going for an interview by train, when I met a middle aged man with a peaceful personality. While talking to each other I told him about my disappointment in getting any relief in life and failures to get any job.
 'Then you should say "Alhamdulillah, Allah tera shukar hai" all the time,' he replied calm.

'What!' I got amazed.

'Yes, you just say Alhamdulillah all the time and see the effect.'

'I didn't understand his response, but I started to repeat "Alhamdulillah, Allah tera shukar hai" all the time. 



In no time I got appointed on a very good job, got married and Allah put Barkat in my rizq. It doesn't mean that I didn't get any test from Allah meanwhile but I always kept on tasbeeh of Alhamdulillah as it gave me inner peace and strengthen my belief that thankfulness increase your rizq.

4. Feed to animals and birds to increase rizq and barkat


This is my personal tested way to increase rizq and barkat in rizq, to feed birds and animals.

Anyone can manage the leftover food to feed animals and birds. Put a small pot at roof top or at wall and put bread or rice in it regularly. Arrange pot to have water for birds. Sometimes arrange milk for stray cats. Take one disposable plate, pour milk in it and leave at corner of your street if you don't like cats to come at your home. Say your kids to feed animals and birds too. 
When we feed animals then they pray for us. Allah also shower His mercy on who show mercy on His creature.

5. Early morning rising


Our elders get us up early morning by saying that angels come down in early morning and distribute rizq among the people who are awake and leave the one's who are snoring. Many successful people have admitted that as soon as they come to early rising they observe increase and barkat in rizq and life.

Prophet Muhammad PBUH has told this tasbeeh, dua to increase rizq:
Say this tasbeeh 100 times at early morning to increase rizq:

6. Sadaqa to increase rizq and Barkat


Sadaqa not only sustain bad fortune but also comes back by multiplying 700 times more. This is what Almighty Allah says in Quran:

"The example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah is just like 
 a seed of grain which grows seven spikes and each spike contains 100 grains. Allah multiplies His reward for whom He wills" 2:261

A regular, planned and conscious habit of giving sadaqat according to your pocket drives many blessings from Allah and increase in rizq is one among them.


Above are a few ways which increase rizq and put barkat in rizq but asides all these zikr, an honest hard work paved your ways to increase in rizq. I'll end with an extract from a story of Hazrat Maryam AS when she was crying with pregnancy pain at time of birth of Hazrat Essa AS. Allah asked her to shake the date tree, so that a few dates fell down and she could eat. Allah didn't drop dates by itself as Allah provides the resources of rizq and humans need to put effort to seek and earn it. It may take time but at last zikr of Allah shows its miracles. It is important to remember that Allah want us to remind Him all the time and keep faith on Him.
