What is the ruling on reciting surahs from the Quran and giving charity with the intention of getting a job?
Reading the Quran and giving charity are among the greatest acts of obedience, and they must be sincerely for Allah the Almighty. There is no objection to intending to attain good for oneself or for others, or to ward off harm from oneself or from others. These acts are among the greatest means of repelling harm and attracting good and blessings for the doer. Allah the Almighty says: "And if only the people of the cities had believed and feared Allah, We would have opened upon them blessings from the heaven and the earth." And the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Acts of kindness protect against evil demises, charity extinguishes the wrath of the Lord, maintaining kinship ties increases one's lifespan, every good deed is charity, and the people of kindness in this world are the people of kindness in the Hereafter."
