Sometimes we have a perfect degree, a well-written resume, means to apply for a particular job; still, we fail to
achieve our targets and get the dream job we want. The point when one might ask about some Surah or dua for
finding a job. As Muslims, we believe that Allah Almighty is the creator and provider of all the things in the
universe. So we should rely on Him alone to achieve our aims.
Taqwa means to always be on guard and to protect yourself from sins. If one can attain taqwa in their lives then
Inshaa Allah; Allah will help them find the necessary job easily.
ISTIGHFAAR
The Quran prescribes us that the best means of increasing provision is to enhance Istighfaar. Keep asking Allah
for forgiveness. What is the relationship between istighfaar and getting a halal job? Allah says in the Holy
Quran:
‘Ask forgiveness from your Lord; Verily, He is Oft-Forgiving; ‘He will send rain to you in abundance; And
give you increase in wealth and children, and bestow on you gardens and bestow on you rivers.’ (Surah Nuh:
Verse 10-12)
The wording of istighfaar is mentioned in many ahadith. One can say astaghfirullah or astaghfirullah Hashim
wa atubu Elahi, or recite this dua hundred times in a day:
Ibn Umar (RA) narrated: ‘We would count that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) would say in one sitting one
hundred times:
‘O my Lord forgive me and accept my repentance indeed You are the One who forgives and most merciful.’
(Abu Dawood, Tirmidhi)
DUA FOR FINDING A JOB AFTER THE FAJR SALAH
Prophet PBUH taught us a beautiful dua to be recited after the Fajr salah for increasing provision or for getting
halal means of earning.
Narrated from Umm Salamah (RA) that the Prophet (Peace of be upon Him) used to say after Fajr prayer:
(O Allah, I ask You for a good (halal) provision, beneficial knowledge and accepted deeds).” [Ahmad, Ibn
Maajah]
One of the most comprehensive dua mentioned in the Holy Quran that suffices all your needs in the Dunya and
Akhirah is:
“Our Lord! Give us in this world that which is good and in the Hereafter that which is good, and save us from
the torment of the Fire!” (Surah Baqarah: Verse 201)
Sending peace and blessings upon the Prophet (PBUH) by reciting Durood. Since you are having plenty of free
time so increase sending blessings upon the Prophet (PBUH), Allah will deliver you out of your worries. Inshaa
Allah
allahumma salli ala muhammadiw wa ala aali muhammadin kamaa sallaita ala ibrahima wa ala aali ibrahima
innaka hamidum majid. allahumma baarik ala muhammadiw wa ala aali muhammadin kamaa baarakta ala
ibrahima wa ala aali ibrahima innaka hamidum majid.
“O Allah, let Your Blessings come upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, as you have blessed
Ibrahim and his family. Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious. Allah, bless Muhammad and the family of
Muhammad, as you have blessed Ibrahim and his family. Truly, You are Praiseworthy and Glorious”.
GIVING CHARITY
Giving in a small amount of donation or whatever you may afford even though you are broke. By giving charity
and facilitating others in fulfilling their needs would assist you finding a job.It will make job searching easy for
you.
Narrated by Abu Hurairah (RA) that the Prophet (PBUH) said: “Allah will aid a servant (of His) so long as the
servant aids his brother.”
Another important thing is to ask righteous people to pray for you. That too will help a lot. May Allah deliver
every believing person out of this condition and provide them a halal job and real income. May Allah make it
easy for every Muslim to find a job. Keep looking for a job and keep on making dua for finding a job. Ameen.
