Pregnancy Duas — Asking Allah for Your Child

أَدْعِيَةُ الْحَمْلِ
These are the words the prophets used when asking Allah for children — Ibrahim asking for righteousness, the servants of the Most Merciful asking for comfort of the eyes. Recited over a growing pregnancy, they attach the deepest hopes for the child to the One who is forming them.

1. Rabbi hab li minas-salihin

رَبِّ هَبْ لِي مِنَ الصَّالِحِينَ
Rabbi hab li minas-salihin
My Lord, grant me [a child] from among the righteous
Source: Quran 37:100

2. Rabbana hab lana min azwajina wa dhurriyyatina qurrata a'yunin

رَبَّنَا هَبْ لَنَا مِنْ أَزْوَاجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّاتِنَا قُرَّةَ أَعْيُنٍ
Rabbana hab lana min azwajina wa dhurriyyatina qurrata a'yunin
Our Lord, grant us from among our spouses and offspring comfort to our eyes
Source: Quran 25:74

Frequently Asked Questions

Does my baby benefit from dhikr in the womb?

The baby is part of the mother's state — calm earned through remembrance reaches the womb physiologically, and the dua itself is heard by Allah regardless. Many scholars also encourage reciting Quran aloud during pregnancy so its sounds surround the child from the beginning.
