12 Duas for Pregnancy

and Childbirth
BY AMALIAH TEAM IN SOUL ON 3RD APRIL, 2022

! " # $ %

From the day you decide to have a child to the

day Allah blesses you with one, every
experience related to pregnancy and
childbirth is a life altering one. Allah speaks of
the struggles in Surah Al-Ahqaf, Ayah 15: “We
have commanded people to honour their
parents. Their mothers bore them in hardship
and delivered them in hardship.” This is also
acknowledged in Surah Maryam, Ayah 23
when Maryam (A.S.) is in labour with Isa (A.S.),
“And the pains of childbirth drove her to the
trunk of a date-palm. She said: “Would that I
had died before this, and had been forgotten
and out of sight!”

However, the struggles of pregnancy and

childbirth are not left unseen by Allah who
rewards mothers for their perseverance and
raises them in ranks in this world and the next:

“A man once consulted the Prophet

Muhammad about taking part in a military
campaign. The Prophet asked the man if his
mother was still living. When told that she was
alive, the Prophet said: “(Then) stay with her,
for Paradise is at her feet.”

So whether it is the heartburn and nausea or

the anxieties of raising a child in the current
climate that keeps you up at night, remember
that you are not alone and that Allah sees you
and knows what is in your heart. In this
compilation of duas, you will find what you
can read to ease your worries and your
physical pain, asking Allah to bless you with
righteous children and to make your struggles
a way to erase your sins and for Him to reward
you tenfold.
