I am currently expecting my first child after trouble.
Question
Are there particular surah?s I can read or zikr I should do? Please pray for my unborn child that it be a healthy, happy, pious and obedient slave of Allah(swt), free from shirk
Answer
You should turn your gaze to Allah Taala and engage in any zikar or dua you are comfortable with. Hadhrat Faatima (Radhiallaahu Anha) reports that when it was time for her to deliver her child, Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) sent Hadhrat Umme Salmah and Hadhrat Zaynab (Radhiallaahu Anhumaa) to me with the advise to read Aayaatul Kursi, Surah Falaq and An-Naas and the following verse of the noble Qur'aan,
'Indeed your Lord is Allah, Who created the heavens and the earth in Six Days, and then He rose over (Istawa) the Throne (really in a manner that suits His Majesty), He brings the night as a cover over the day, seeking it rapidly, and (He created) the sun, the moon, the stars subjected to His Command. Surely, He is the Creation and Commandment. Blessed is Allah, the Lord of the Aalamiin (mankind, Jinn and all that exists)! (A'araaf 54)
May Allah grant you an easy and successful pregnancy and grant you a healthy child to be a coolness to your eyes and heart. Aameen.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
