Tying our camels when it comes to rizq (sustenance) and barakah (blessings) looks different at different stages of life. Sometimes it’s looking for work, putting in long hours, trying to stretch a budget, or making a big purchase towards a big change in life. The Prophet ﷺ encouraged us to take ownership of these decisions, to be present for them, and to put in the hard work.
Alongside this, putting our trust in Allah is essential. This looks like raising our hands in dua and asking Him for our needs and with as much Tawakkul (trust in Him) as possible, we wait with contentment for our duas to come to fruition, whether in this life or the next.
