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!
