1. General principles: Understand the general principles of increasing wealth in Islam, which include seeking lawful means, avoiding prohibited practices, and maintaining ethical conduct in all financial dealings.

2. Wake up early: Recognize that wealth is often distributed in the morning, so make a habit of waking up early to maximize your opportunities for financial success.

3. Seek forgiveness from Allah: Engage in the act of istighfar, which involves seeking forgiveness from Allah through phrases like “Astaghfirullah” or the longer variant “Astaghfirullah Rabbi wa-atubu ilayhi.” This act is considered essential in Islam and can bring blessings and increase in wealth.

4. Give charity to the poor: Regularly give sadaqah (charity) to those in need, even if it is a small amount. This act of generosity not only helps the less fortunate but also attracts blessings and abundance in your own wealth.

5. Ensure halal income: Ensure that your job or business is halal, meaning it is morally and religiously permissible. Avoid engaging in unlawful or unethical practices that could compromise the integrity of your income.

6. Engage in trade: Heed the wisdom of Prophet Muhammad ﷺ who said: “Engage in trade, for 9/10 of rizq / sustenance is found therein.” Take this advice to heart and actively participate in trade and commerce. Consider starting a business, offering a product, or providing a service to tap into the vast potential for wealth and sustenance that lies within the world of trade. Remember to conduct your trade in accordance with Islamic principles, ensuring that it is halal and morally permissible.
