abstract
  • Barakah (Arabic: بركة : also Baraka‎) is an Arabic term meaning blessing, particularly, spiritual gifts or protection transmitted from God. It is also described as "the greater good" derived from any act. The parallel Jewish term is the cognate Berakhah, in Christianity charisma or divine grace. Barakah also refers to the favorable result of any action due to divine blessing. It is also a Sufi term referring to a sense of "divine presence" or "charisma." Muslims believe that "sincere invocation of God", good deeds, repentance, and prayer, may dispose God to dispense Barakah into their lives. This is supposed to make things easier, happier, and more blessed in this life, and by God's mercy, in the Hereafter. Baraka is used in contemporary French as a synonym of "luck". A person who has "baraka" is said to be able to emerge unscathed from dangerous situations. This use of the term derives from the time of French colonization in Algeria (1830-1962). When asked why he did not fear being killed by his enemies, Charles de Gaulle is said to have replied, "I have baraka." Barakah is also the origin of President of the United States Barack Obama's first name via Swahili which has been heavily influenced by Arabic. Barakah was the name of Al-Said Barakah a Sultan in Egypt who ruled from 1277 to 1279.
