Wa alaikum salaam wa rahmatulahi wa barakatuh sister,

 

In this case, it would seem that you should begin by looking at why you don’t believe there is any barakah in your finances. Alhamdulillah, you have a job and you pay your zakat and sadaqah. In this alone there is barakah. It may not be the type of barakah that you feel in this life, but it will be counted amongst your good deeds on the day of judgment. So, as you can see, in this alone there is great barakah. Alhamdulillah, you also complete all your obligatory deeds and more and again this will also count in your favor on the day of judgment. Just because you do not feel the blessing now, ot does not mean that you never will. Allah will not let all these good deeds go wasted and you need to have faith His Mercy and Justice to be confident in this.

 

Also, ask yourself if having 0 at the end of the month is a bad thing? If you have been able to do all you need and want to, is it such a bad thing?

 

There are another couple of things you can do both psychologically and practically to ease this situation.

 

Firstly, try and focus on the positive things you have in your life rather than the negative. Alhamdulillah, you have a job. Many strive to even get this far. Of those who do, not everyone can even afford to give in sadaqah as you do. You also have the physical and practical capacity to even get to work in the first place,  when many do not due to disabilities for example.

 

On a more practical level, write down all your incoming and outgoings and see where it is that you seem to be loosing out. Perhaps you are spending extravagantly on something, or there are some things that you unnecessarily spend on each month. Look to the least necessary thing and try and eliminate it and see how life fares without it. If you use expensive brands, try switching cheaper ones, do things to cut the cost of living such as walking instead of driving where possible and reducing electricity and gas use within the house.

 

May Allah continue to shower you with his blessings and keep you on the straight path.
