Reviving Barakah in Your Life through Quran Recitation
Advice to those who have lost blessings (barakah) in their time:
Ibrāhīm Ibn ‘Abdil Wāhid al-Maqdisī advised ad-Ḍiyāʾ al-Maqdisī when he wished to travel the path of knowledge:
“Increase in recitation of the Qurʿān and do not leave it for verily, that will facilitate for you that which you seek in accordance with the amount that you recite.”
ad-Ḍiyāʾ said:
“So I witnessed that, after trying it repeatedly, finding that if I recited a lot (of Qurʿān) it was easy for me to listen to a lot of ahādīth (and study them) and to write them (down), and if I did not recite (Qurʿān) it was difficult.”
