Establishing the Ties of Kinship

Another proven method to increase your wealth is to establish the ties of kinship.

Our family are our ‘Kinship’, all our close relatives from both mother’s and father’s side are considered to be ‘kin’. The establishment of the ties of kinship means showing these relatives kindness, compassion and mercy. It necessitates keeping in touch with them, paying them visits & inquiring about their health and welfare and it obligates helping them out in whatever way possible.

One of the many proofs that establishing the ties of kinship increases your wealth is in this beautiful hadith reported by Ali ibn Abi Talib that the Messenger of Allah (SAW) said:

“Whoever is pleased to have his life extended, his rizq increased and an evil death be averted from him, then let him have taqwa of Allah, and let him fulfil the ties of kinship!”
Reported by Ahmad in his Musnad.

And who is there that does not wish to have his wealth increased, an evil death averted from his path and his life extended? Here the Prophet (SAW) has informed us that whoever possesses two characteristics will be able to obtain all of these blessings. These 2 characteristics are simple and easy, but only for those who sincerely desire the rewards of Allah, these characteristics are Taqwa of Allah and fulfilling the ties of kinship.

And Allah knows best.
