1. Constantly worshiping Allah Ta’ala
The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said, “Allah says, ‘O son of Adam! Take time out to constantly worship me, I will fill your chest with richness, and remove your poverty. And if you do not do so, I will make your hands filled with occupation, and will not remove your poverty” [Tirmidhi]
2. Marriage
And marry those among you who are single (i.e. a man who has no wife and the woman who has no husband) … If they be poor, Allah will enrich them out of His Bounty… [Quran, An -Nur:32]
3. Supporting students of Islamic knowledge
There were two brothers at the time of the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. One of them would come to Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam, whereas the other one would seek his sustenance by working. So the one who used to seek his sustenance complained to the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam about his brother. The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam replied, ‘It is possible that you are provided your sustenance because of him’ [Tirmidhi 2:274]
4. Showing kindness to the Poor
“The only reason that you are aided in victory (against your enemies) and provided with sustenance is due to your weak.” [Bukhari]
5. Being honest in ones dealings
“The two parties of a transaction have the right (to annul the contract) as long as they don’t separate (from each other). So, if they were truthful (to one another), and honest in explaining (the defects of an item), then they will be blessed in their transaction…” [Muslim]
