DU-A'A 237

For the safety of child and mother during pregnancy, and no miscarriage,
write a portion of verse 64 of Yusuf and verse 8 of ar Rad with saffron and bind it as a tawid around
the belly or abdomen of the mother.

But Allah is the best of guardians; and He is the most merciful of the
merciful.

Allah knows what every female bears, and that which the wombs fall
short (of completion) and that which they exceed. And every thing
with Him is measured.

mother's height,

and do not grieve for them, and do not
be distressed because of what they
devise. Verily Allah is with those who
safeguard themselves against evil and
those who do good.

AMAAL DURING PREGNANCY

A tradition from the Holy Prophet (s.a.) states that a woman from the time of pregnancy to delivery,
and from delivery to weaning gets the reward of a man who is stationed at the borders to repel the

children we are to have to recite all our adhkar and awrad everyday and
to ensure that we pray as many prayers in congregation with our spouse.
Read as much Quran as possible.

Try and do as much salawat on the Prophet (saw) as possible in

particular Salat al-Tunjina and As salaam Alaikum ayuha-nabee wa
rahmatullahi wa barakatu

As babies are said to be able to recognise certain sounds and music

from their time in the womb, reading certain texts such as the Book of
Assistance by Imam al-Haddad, is advised in order to bring about
recognition.

One of the Habaib also advised pregnant women to look at pictures of

the Kaaba when she was too tired to actively engage in ibada.

For those trying to conceive children

Recite Surah Fatiha (Surah 1) 41 times in between the sunnah and fard
of Fajr prayer.
