What Are Barakah Seeds? Gamifying Good Habits for a Greater Cause

Turns out, the little things you do for your marriage can touch lives around the world.

Barakah Seeds in Mawadda

We have all heard the saying: "Marriage takes work." But what if that work felt fun? And more importantly, what if it did real good in the world?

The Problem with "Work"

When people say marriage is "work," it can sound exhausting. But the best relationships aren't built through grand gestures once a year. They are built through small, consistent actions every day. The challenge is staying consistent when life gets busy.

Enter: Barakah Seeds

Barakah Seeds are our way of making those small, daily habits stick. Think of them like "good deed points" for your relationship. You earn seeds by:

  • Answering your daily question.
  • Maintaining a streak with your partner.
  • Completing relationship "challenges" together.
  • Leaving a thoughtful note or memory.

More Than Just Points

This isn't just about gamification. It is about Sadaqah (Charity).

We believe that your love should have a ripple effect. That's why we have made a commitment to the Mawadda community:

For every 10,000 Barakah Seeds earned by the community collectively, Mawadda will donate $1 directly to certified orphan sponsorship projects.

This means that every time you connect with your spouse - every question you answer, every kind word you log - you are literally contributing to feeding, clothing, and educating an orphan.

The "Why" Behind It

In Islam, Barakah (blessing) increases when you share it. By tying your relationship habits to charity, we turn your marriage into a vehicle for good. You aren't just working on your relationship; you are working on your Akhirah (afterlife) together.

So go ahead. Answer that question. Keep that streak alive. You are doing more than just staying close to your partner; you are changing a life somewhere else in the world.
