How to Make Your House Full of Barakah

Introduction:

Everyone wishes for a House Full of Barakah. A home where tranquility radiates from every corner, where people recite Qur’an, where love and mercy bind hearts, and where a person experiences the blessings of Allah. Today, people may live in extravagant homes but this does not guarantee tranquility.

A house that is Full of Barakah is not rooted in wealth or materials, but in Imaan, Dhikr, love, and sincerity.

The Sayyiduna Muhammad ﷺ has taught us that when Allah places Barakah in a home, then even a little is enough, but when Barakah is removed, even abundance can feel empty.

This blog will hopefully show you step by step — using Qur’an, Sunnah, Tasawwuf concepts, and stories of inspiring Awliya Allah — how to turn your home into a House Full of Barakah.

Summary:

• A home with Barakah is a home where Qur’an and Sunnah are implemented every day.
• Barakah can be wealth, love, health, children, food and spiritual peace.
• Dhikr, Salah, Qur’an reading and good character are means of bringing angels into the home.
• Disregard of Religion, disputes and haram acts remove Barakah.
• The great Awliya like Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA) and Khwaja Gharib Nawaz (RA)), emphasized that homes where there is Ikhlaq and remembrance of Allah, there is Noor.

Features of a House Full of Barakah

1. Qur’an and Salah in the Home
   The Prophet ﷺ said, “Do not make your homes into graves. Shaytan is surely driven away from a house in which Surah Al-Baqarah is recited.” (Sahih Muslim)When a home has Qur’an recited in it, it is filled with light and clarity. Salah on a regular basis brings angels to the home while evicting Shaytan.
2. Serving Guests and Family with Care
   The Prophet (saw) said:
   “Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should honor his guest”. (Bukhari, Muslim)Hospitality opens up more rizq. A smiling and gentle atmosphere draws Allah’s mercy.
3.  Contentment & Gratitude
   The Prophet ﷺ taught Shukr (gratitude) is the key to Barakah. When families eat together that starts with Bismillah and ends in Alhamdulillah, the Barakah in food multiplies.

Deep Tasawwuf Knowledge

In terms of Tasawwuf, a House Full of Barakah does not denote just physical comfort but spiritual illumination. The Sufis teach that when ego (nafs) is controlled and sincerity (Ikhlas) prevails, that house becomes a palace of Noor.

Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA) mentioned: “The house in which the name of Allah is recited becomes like a star shining for the inhabitants of heavens.”

The Chishti saints stated that when a family comes together in Dhikr and recites Allah Hu, Allah Hu, the walls of the home will testify on the Day of Judgement that Allah was remembered in the house.

Arabic Duas to Fill House with Barakah

• • اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لَنَا فِي بُيُوتِنَا وَاجْعَلْهَا مَأْوًى لِذِكْرِكَ وَطَاعَتِكَ
    (Allahumma barik lana fi buyootina waj‘alha ma’wan li dhikrika wa ta‘atika)
    O Allah, bless our homes and make them a place of Your remembrance and obedience.

  • رَبِّ اجْعَلْ هَذَا الْبَيْتَ بَيْتَ سَكِينَةٍ وَرَحْمَةٍ وَبَرَكَةٍ
    (Rabbi aj‘al hadhal bayta bayta sakeenatin wa rahmatin wa barakah)
    O Lord, make this house a home of tranquility, mercy, and blessings.

Spiritual Story of Awliya

One time, Khwaja Gharib Nawaz (RA) visited a poor man in Ajmer. The house was empty, no food, no light. Khwaja (RA) sat down and recited Surah Yaseen with the family. Shortly after, neighbors brought them food, and in a matter of days the man’s life turned around. Khwaja (RA) said:
“The Qur’an gives life to houses and he is not deprived of Barakah, who finds the people of Allah.”

Conclusion

A House Full of Barakah has nothing to do with worldly possessions, but everything to do with belief. It involves Qur’an, Salah, Dhikr, love, shukr and serving others. If you want your home to shine in dunya and akhirah, make it a house that remembers Allah, and practices the Sunnah.
