Rizq is not just money — it is health, time, knowledge, family, and every blessing Allah provides. The Quran and Sunnah teach us to ask for it with trust, gratitude, and tawakkul.
The pattern of rizq: Allah ties provision to three things — istighfār (Quran 71:10–12), gratitude (Quran 14:7), and tawakkul (the hadith of the birds). Ask Him, thank Him for what He has already given, and then trust Him with the result.
Law annakum tatawakkalūna ʿala llāhi ḥaqqa tawakkulihī la-razaqakum kamā yarzuqu ṭ-ṭayr, taghdū khimāṣan wa tarūḥu biṭānā.
If you were to rely upon Allah with true reliance, He would provide for you as He provides for the birds — they go out hungry in the morning and return full in the evening.
Tirmidhī 2344 — narrated by ʿUmar ibn al-Khaṭṭāb.
The “dua” here is the act of tawakkul itself. Sustained sincere reliance on Allah opens doors of provision you didn't know existed.
Dua 7
For the best in this world and the Hereafter
Frequently — the most-recited dua of the Prophet ﷺ
Allāhumma akthir mālī wa waladī, wa bārik lī fīmā aʿṭaytanī.
O Allah, increase my wealth and my children, and bless me in what You have given me.
Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 6334 — narrated by Anas ibn Mālik.
Anas's mother brought him to the Prophet ﷺ as a young boy. When he was leaving, the Prophet ﷺ made this dua. Anas later said he became one of the wealthiest of the Anṣār, and his children and grandchildren numbered over a hundred.
