اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي عَبْدُكَ، ابْنُ عَبْدِكَ، ابْنُ أَمَتِكَ، نَاصِيَتِي بِيَدِكَ، مَاضٍ فِيَّ حُكْمُكَ، عَدْلٌ فِيَّ قَضَاؤُكَ، أَسْأَلُكَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ هُوَ لَكَ سَمَّيْتَ بِهِ نَفْسَكَ، أَوْ عَلَّمْتَهُ أَحَدًا مِنْ خَلْقِكَ، أَوْ أَنْزَلْتَهُ فِي كِتَابِكَ، أَوْ اسْتَأْثَرْتَ بِهِ فِي عِلْمِ الْغَيْبِ عِنْدَكَ، أَنْ تَجْعَلَ الْقُرْآنَ رَبِيعَ قَلْبِي، وَنُورَ صَدْرِي، وَجَلَاءَ حُزْنِي، وَذَهَابَ هَمِّي.
O Allah, I am Your servant, son of Your servant, son of Your female servant. My forelock is in Your hand. Your command over me is forever executed. Your decision concerning me is just. I ask You by every name that You have called Yourself, or You have taught to anyone of Your creation, or You have revealed in Your Book, or You have preserved in the knowledge of the unseen with You, that You make the Quran the springtime of my heart, and the light of my chest, and a remover of my sadness and a reliever of my worries.
Allahumma inni 'abduka, ibnu 'abdika, ibnu amatik, nasiyati biyadika, madin fiyya huku-muka, 'adlun fiyya qada-u-ka, as'aluka bikulli ismin huwa laka sammayta bihi nafsaka, aw 'allamtahu ahadan min khalqika, aw anzaltahu fi kitabi-ka, aw ista'tharta bihi fi 'ilmil-ghaybi 'indaka, an taj'ala al-Qur'ana rabi'a qalbi, wa nura sadri, wa jala'a huzni, wa dhahaba hammi.
When to Read
Pregnancy is a time of immense physical and emotional change. This dua is perfect for the expectant mother (or father!) to recite during this period. It's particularly fitting when facing anxieties, discomforts, or moments of impatience related to the pregnancy journey. Reciting it daily, or whenever these feelings arise, can help anchor the heart and mind.
How to Read
This is a profound supplication. It begins by acknowledging Allah's absolute control and justice, establishing a humble foundation for the request. Raising your hands slightly is a common etiquette for supplication, though not strictly required for this specific dua. It's best recited with sincerity and a hopeful heart, contemplating the meaning of each phrase as you speak it. The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ would often repeat his supplications three times for emphasis and to increase the likelihood of their acceptance.
Virtues & Benefits
This dua, taught by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ to a companion who was suffering from worry and grief, is a powerful tool for emotional well-being. By asking Allah to make the Quran the 'springtime of the heart,' it invites peace, renewal, and joy, which are especially needed during pregnancy. It helps to replace anxieties with hope and patience, transforming difficulties into sources of spiritual growth. The Prophet ﷺ also mentioned, 'No one asks with these words except that Allah removes his worries and replaces his grief with joy,' as recorded in Musnad Ahmad.
