Question

Please advise as to which Duas and actions we should engage in during pregnancy?

Answer

1. During pregnancy, both parents should recite the following Dua once after every Fardh Salaah:

Surah no.3 Verse 38

Surah 25 Verse 74

Surah 37 Verse 100

2. For the duration of pregnancy, one should refrain from all forms of sin and evil such as watching television, listening to music etc. or any form of disobedience, as this will have a negative impact on the fetus.

3. Refrain from excessively utilizing computers and cell phones as this causes the mind of the child to be over-stimulated and consequently weak-minded children are born.

4. Eat healthy food during pregnancy.

5. Some Mashaaikh advise that pregnant mothers should consume a red apple daily. This results in the child having noble character and a happy temperament. The apple should be eaten without it being cut with a knife.

6. One should always dress appropriately ensuring that one is properly covered, or else it will have an adverse effect on the child.
