18- Blessings

All praise is for Allah who guided us to do good deeds. I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, alone with no partner, the one and the only. And I bear witness that Muhammad (peace be upon him) is his slave and messenger. Allah said:
قال تعالى: "يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا رَبَّكُمُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُم مِّن نَّفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ"
O man kin! Be dutiful to your lord who created you from a single person.(4:1)
O believers every Muslim used to ask Allah to give him the blessing in his life and in his family.
Allah said
قال تعالى: "رَّبِّ أَنزِلْنِي مُنْزَلاً مُّبَارَكاً وَأَنْتَ خَيْرُ الْمُنْزِلِينَ"
"And say: My lord cause me to land at a blessed landing place for you are the best of those who bring to land ". (23:29)
Also, Allah said:
قال تعالى: "وَجَعَلَ فِيهَا رَوَاسِيَ مِنْ فَوْقِهَا وَبَارَكَ فِيهَا"
"He placed there in firm mountains from above it and he blessed it" (41:10)
So there are many good results coming from blessing; the body becomes healthy, the age becomes fruitful, spouse becomes happy, the life becomes luxurious.
Our Messenger (peace be upon him) used to make Du'aa for his followers. As he (peace be upon him)used to say
دعا صلى الله عليه و سلم لأنس فقال: "اللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْهُ مَالاً وَوَلَداً وَبَارِكْ لَهُ"
"O Allah, place best on him wealth and children".  
Allah also said:
وقال تعالى: "وَلَوْ أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْقُرَى آمَنُوا وَاتَّقَوْا لَفَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ بَرَكَاتٍ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ"
"And if the people of the town had believed and had the Taqwa certainly, we should have opened them blessing from the heaven and the earth". (7:96), Our messenger (peace be upon him) said:
و قال صلى الله عليه وسلم: "اجْتَمِعُوا عَلَى طَعَامِكُمْ وَاذْكُروا اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ يُبَارَكْ لَكُمْ فِيهِ"
"Gather on your food and remember the name of Allah, God will bless you"
And he (peace be upon him) said:
وقال صلى الله عليه وسلم: "اللَّهُمَّ بَارِكْ لأُمَّتِي فِي بُكُورِهَا"
"O God, please bless my nation in the early action"
Our messenger mentioned that if the seller and the buyer said the truth and had taqwa, God will bless them. But if they lie so, they lose the blessings of the trade
Oh Allah, we pray for you to bless our country, its leaders and the whole Islamic nation.
