“Blessing, abundance”
برکت، خیر
In the Quran
وَلَوْ أَنَّ أَهْلَ ٱلْقُرَىٰٓ ءَامَنُوا۟ وَٱتَّقَوْا۟ لَفَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِم بَرَكَٰتٍۢ مِّنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ وَلَٰكِن كَذَّبُوا۟ فَأَخَذْنَٰهُم بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَكْسِبُونَ
اگر ان بستیوں کے لوگ ایمان لے آتے اور پرہیزگار ہوجاتے۔ تو ہم ان پر آسمان اور زمین کی برکات (کے دروازے) کھول دیتے مگر انہوں نے تو تکذیب کی۔ سو ان کے اعمال کی سزا میں ہم نے ان کو پکڑ لیا
And if the people of the townships had believed and kept from evil, surely We should have opened for them blessings from the sky and from the earth. But (unto every messenger) they gave the lie, and so We seized them on account of what they used to earn.
