Islam is a religion of peace and prosperity and has a dua for almost everything and every aspect of life. Many Muslims believe in the powers of dua for rizq and avoid doing the needful.
Yes, it is true that Allah has promised for rizq, and your rizq was before you were born. But that does not mean you spend your days in bed waiting for Allah to send food and water!
You have to do your part, which is ‘struggle’ with pure intention, and leave the rest to Allah.
We have previously mentioned the dua for success and the dua for protection. In today’s blog, we will discuss the dua of rizq, its benefits, and when you should recite it.
What is Rizq?
Most Muslims consider rizq as food and water, but in reality, rizq is anything you can benefit from. Your wife, children, home, car, and wealth all lie in the category of Rizq.
Yes, Allah has written your rizq before you were born, but you have to make an effort to get it. The Prophets of Allah did the same; all of them were shepherds and businessmen at some point in life.

Dua to Increase Wealth
We all want to increase our wealth. Here is the dua that the Holy Prophet (PBUH) used to recite when his wife asked him to invoke Allah’s blessings for Anas (RA).
اللَّهُمَّ أَكْثِرْ مَالَهُ وَوَلَدَهُ، وَبَارِكْ لَهُ فِيمَا أَعْطَيْتَهُ
Dua for Wealth in English: Allahumma akthir malahu wa waladahu, wa barik lahu fima a’taytahu.

Hadith: Narrated Um Sulaim: that she said, “O Allah’s Messenger (PBUH)! Anas is your servant, so please invoke for Allah’s blessing for him.” The Prophet (PBUH) said, “O Allah! Increase his wealth and offspring and bless (for him) whatever You give him.” —Sahih al-Bukhari 6378, Jami at-Tirmidhi 3829
Explanation: In this Hadith, the Holy Prophet (PBUH) was asked to pray for his servant (companion). He prayed for his servant by saying Allah, increase his wealth and children, and bless him for whatever you have given him and give him in the future.

What is the best time to recite the dua for Rizq and Wealth
As prescribed by the Holy Prophet (PBUH_ the best time to recite dua for rizq is after Fajr Salah. It is a new day, the sun is about to rise in the sky, and birds are singing.
You should offer the Fajr prayer, recite the dua for Rizq, and ask Allah to increase your income and health.
Dua for Rizq from the Quran
There is no direct verse in the Quran that can increase Rizq. However, many Muslims and Islamic clerics say that the recitation of Surah Al-Waqiah every night after Isha prayer increases Rizq.
Several Muslims have come forward saying that the recitation of Surah Al-Waqiah will benefit any Muslim who is suffering from low income.
Secondly, reciting Surah Al-Kahf on Friday after the Friday prayer helps increase your Rizq. A few Muslim scholars prescribe reciting this part of Surah Al-Kahf Verse 39 to increase Rizq.
مَا شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ لَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِٱللَّهِ ۚ
Mashaallahu laa Quwwata illa billah
It is as Allah has pleased, there is no power save in Allah
There is also a saying that whoever recites Surah Al-Falaq several times in a day will receive more Rizq than he expected. Reciting this surah is one of the easiest things you can do.
The recitation of Surah Taha in the last part of the night is also considered beneficial in increasing Rizq. You should offer Tahajjud prayer with Tahajjud dua and then recite Surah Taha.
The names of Allah have unique meanings and benefits associated with reciting them. Recite Ar-Razaak several times a day to ask Allah for Rizq.
