Duas during pregnancy, childbirth, and for newborns
I seek protection for you both with the perfect words of Allah from every devil and every beast, and from every envious eye.
O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad and the family of Muhammad, and cast his love into the heart of this newborn, and remind him of his scent, and make him among those who follow him.
My Lord, grant me from among the righteous [offspring].
O Allah, make him a true Muslim, and teach him Your Book, and protect him and make him a righteous servant. Make him establish the prayer, pay the Zakat, perform Hajj to the House, fast Ramadan, command good, forbid evil, establish Your limits, avoid Your prohibitions, love You and love Your Messenger, love the family of Your Prophet, love Your righteous servants, love the Quran, love knowledge and seek it, and fear You as if you see Him. And ask You for Paradise and seek refuge in You from the Fire.
O Allah, bless my family, my children, and my wife for me. O Allah, protect them with Your eye that never sleeps, and guard them with Your words which no creation can corrupt. Make them secure in Your lands and place them within Your unassailable fortress, by which You elevate whomever You will of Your creation. O Allah, grant them and me well-being from You, and protect them and me from all harm and affliction, and make them a source of joy for me and their mother.
May Allah bless you in His gift to you, may you give thanks to the One who is served by you, may he reach the age of maturity, and may you be granted righteousness towards him (or her).
In the name of Allah. O Allah, [this child is] Your servant, son of Your female servant. He has come to You in need, other than You. He has taken refuge in Your shade and has been fortified by Your fortress. So let him taste of Your sweetness, and of Your blessings, and protect him from Your afflictions. Suffice him in his needs, and save him from the punishment of the Fire.
Glory be to Allah and all praise is due to Him.
My Lord, expand for me my breast [with assurance] and ease for me my task and untie the knot from my tongue that they may understand my speech.
I seek refuge for you with the perfect words of Allah, from every devil and every poisonous creature, and from every envious eye.
O Allah, I ask You for Your love, and the love of those who love You, and the love of deeds which will bring me to Your love. O Allah, make Your love dearer to me than myself, my family, and than cold water.
