What prayers can we read during childbirth? Answered by Sayyidi al-Ḥabīb `Umar bin Hafīẓ (may Allāh preserve him and benefit us by him). Plead with Allah in abundance for blessings (barakah) and ease. During pregnancy repeat the following verses: رَبِّ هَبْ لِي مِن لَّدُنكَ ذُرِّيَّةً طَيِّبَةً إِنَّكَ سَمِيعُ الدُّعَاء Rabbi hab lī milladunka dhurriyatan ṭayyibah innaka samī`u-du`ā’ “O my Lord, grant me a progeny that is pure, for You hear (our) prayers!”1 رَبَّنَا هَبْ لَنَا مِنْ أَزْوَاجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّاتِنَا قُرَّةَ أَعْيُنٍ وَاجْعَلْنَا لِلْمُتَّقِينَ إِمَامًا Rabbanā hab lanā min azwajinā wa dhurriyyatinā qurrata `ayun wa’ja’lnā lilmuttaqīn imamā “Our Lord, grant us wives and offspring who will be the comfort of our eyes, and give us (the grace) to lead the righteous.”2 During childbirth repeat Allah’s name ‘al-Laṭīf’ in abundance, along with the following: يَالَطِيفًا بِخَلْقِهِ ، يَا عَلِيمًا بِخَلْقِهِ ، يَا خَبِيرًا بِخَلْقِهِ .. اُلْطُفْ بِنَا يَا لَطِيْفُ ، يَا عَلِيْمُ ، يَا خَبِيْرُ يَا لَطِيْفًا لَمْ يَزَلْ اُلْطُفْ بِنَا فِيْمَا نَزَلَ .. إِنّك لَطِيْفٌّ لَمْ تَزَلْ .. اُلْطُفْ بِنَا وَ المُسْلِمِيْن Yā Laṭīfan bi khalqihi ya `Alīman bi khalqihi ya Khabīran bi khalqihi ulṭuf binā yā Laṭīfu ya `Alīmu ya Khabīru (repeat 3 times) Ya Laṭīfan lam yazal ulṭuf binā fīmā nazal innaka Laṭīfun lam yazal ulṭuf binā wa’l-muslimīn (repeat 3 times) O One Who is gentle with His creation, O One who has complete knowledge of His creation, O One who has complete awareness of His creation! Treat us with gentleness O Gentle, O All-Knowing, O All-Aware! O Gentle Who remains forever, be gentle to us in all that befalls us, You are constantly Gentle, treat us and the Muslims with gentleness! 1 Al `Imrān, 3:38 2 Al-Furqān, 25:74
