===Islam=== {{main|Barakah}} Blessings in [[Islam]] have two aspects, according to major scholars of Islam. Blessings are given by [[Allah]] as a trial for mankind. Scholars of Islam believe that having fear of being gradually misled by blessings is an attribute of the pious, and not having fear from such even though one is constantly misbehaving is an attribute of the impious. Blessings can be a source of success in the afterlife if one is grateful to Allah for them and the same blessings can be a source for damnation in afterlife if a person is not constantly grateful to God for them.<ref name="wordpress1">{{Cite web|url=https://seekingthedivinecountenance.wordpress.com/2016/07/11/dual-nature-of-blessings-in-islam/|title=Dual Nature of Blessings in Islam|date=July 11, 2016}}</ref> Islam has no clerical caste, and therefore no blessings reserved to specific individuals. Muslims will frequently pronounce "peace and blessings be upon him" when mentioning the name of [[Muhammad]] or indeed, any of the prophets. Muslims will also greet one another with a blessing every time they meet and depart: {{Lang|ar|السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته}} {{Lang|ar-latn|as-salāmu alaikum wa rahmatul-lāhi wa barakātuh}} (meaning "[[As-salamu alaykum|may peace, mercy and blessings of God be upon you]]").<ref name="wordpress1"/>
