Barakah or Baraka ( "blessing") is a blessing power in Islam, a kind of continuity of spiritual presence and revelation that begins with God and flows through that and those closest to God.

According to G.S. Colin, the Quran is said to be charged with barakah, and God can bestow prophets and saints with barakah. Muhammad and his descendants are said to be especially endowed with it. These special people, whether alive or dead, can transfer their barakah to ordinary people.
