Tabarruk means attaining barakah. Linguistically it means to remain and linger, or to nurture and generate. A pool of water in Arabic is called birkah.
Islamically it means something that remains. It refers to the presence of divine blessings in an object and increasing those blessings. For example there are blessings in food, or a person. If a food has barakah, instead of feeding one person, it can feed three or four.
“The food of one is sufficient for two, and the food for two is sufficient for four, and the food for four is sufficient for eight.” (Muslim)
For something to have barakah, then the source of that barakah must come from Allah, it cannot come from any other being. To say someone can put barakah in something is to make them a deity.
A proof of this is the meaning of tabaarak. It means,
- He is exalted (in His perfection, and His being and from all defects),
- He is holy and blessed,
- All good emanates from Him.
“Say, `O Allah, Lord of Sovereignty, You give sovereignty to whomsoever You please; and You take away sovereignty from whomsoever You please. You exalt whomsoever You please and You abase whomsoever You please. In Your hand is all good. You surely have power to do all things.” (Aali ‘Imraan, 3:26)
“Say, `All grace is in the hand of Allah. He gives it to whomsoever He pleases. And Allah is Bountiful, All-Knowing.” (Aali ‘Imraan, 3:73)
“All good is in Your hands.” (Related by Al-Bukhari)
Only Allah decides who, what, and when something or someone has barakah.
“Blessed/Exalted is He in Whose hand is the kingdom.” (Al-Mulk, 67:1)
Blessed is He Who sent down the criterion (of right and wrong, i.e. this Quran) to His slave (Muhammad SAW) that he may be a warner to the ‘Alamin (mankind and jinns). (25:1)
Some things which are blessed with barakah are:
