Do you have Bibi Maryam’s Panja? Its a stem from the Tree Bibi Maryam held and it has been said, if you have it, you can soak it in the water during your labour. It eases the process and its opened fully when you are done with giving birth.
Regarding ayat or Surah, you can recite anything like Ayat-e-karima or Ya Haiyyu Ya Qayyum… it helps in pain too.
Could the posters who have listed “religious” advise above kindly add referencing to their posts? Giving religious advise comes with a HUGE responsibility.
I have yet to find a dua (either from the quran or hadith) that could/ should be used for the delivery of a healthy baby/ easy labour.
Alhumdulillah i have gone through 2 very smooth & relatively fast deliveries and given birth to normal, healthy babies mA… i did NOT specifically read any Surah for childbirth… I generally did do dua begging Allah SWT directly to make things easy and He did During the most intense part of the labour, i remember asking Him for help (even asked Him to stop the contractions for a while so i could get a break ) and doing lots of astaghfar…
For those really stressed out, offer 2 rakats namaz-e-haajat (proven sunnah of the Prophet SAW).
May you all have super smooth, super fast and pain free delivery and be blessed with healthy, pious children.
RoseAli, I sincerely wish that your labour and delivery go very very well and God willing you will be blessed with a new life very soon.
To the people who make claims like you are closer to God during labour and to recite Surah Maryam, these are innovations, there is NO Quranic evidence pointing to such nonsense. You are always close to God, if you are sincere, God will always do what is best for you.
