Question:
I would like to know if there is a dua (supplication) for pregnacy. I have been trying for 8 months, but I’m having a little bit of trouble due to my problems. Can you please help me with a dua to remove my sickness?
Answer:
Please follow the following recommendations while you submit to the Will of God, whether it is in His divine Wisdom that you must have a child or not:
1. Family plans for young couples and newly weds could be one of the self-caused problems against pregnancy. Make sure you don’t do it.
2. Fast the first day of the Month of Muharram and ask Allah to grant you a righteous child.
3. Recite this Du’a that is narrated from Imam Sajjad (a.s) 70 times:
رَبِّ لا تَذَرْنِی فَرْداً وَ أَنْتَ خَیْرُ الْوارِثِینَ وَ اجْعَلْ لِی مِنْ لَدُنْکَ وَلِیّاً یَبَرُّ بِی فِی حَیَاتِی وَ یَسْتَغْفِرُ لِی بَعْدَ
وَفَاتِی وَ اجْعَلْهُ خَلْقاً سَوِیّاً وَ لَا تَجْعَلْ لِلشَّیْطَانِ فِیهِ شِرْکاً وَ لَا نَصِیباً اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّی أَسْتَغْفِرُکَ وَ أَتُوبُ إِلَیْکَ
إِنَّکَ أَنْتَ الْغَفُورُ الرَّحِیمُ
4. Every morning say 70 times:
سبحان الله
then 10 times:
استغفر الله ربي و اتوب اليه
then 9 times again:
سبحان الله
then finally only once:
استغفر الله ربي و اتوب اليه
This is recommended by Imam Baqir (a.s).
5. In your Sojood recite this Quranic Du’a which is recommended by Imam Sadiq (a.s):
ْ رَبِّ هَبْ لِی مِنْ لَدُنْکَ ذُرِّیَّةً طَیِّبَةً إِنَّکَ سَمِیعُ الدُّعاءِ رَبِّ لا تَذَرْنِی فَرْداً وَ أَنْتَ خَیْرُ الْوارِثِین.
6. Before going to bed (for intimacy) recite this Quranic Dhikr 3 times:
وَ ذَا النُّونِ إِذْ ذَهَبَ مُغاضِباً فَظَنَّ أَنْ لَنْ نَقْدِرَ عَلَیْهِ فَنادى فِی الظُّلُماتِ أَنْ لا إِلهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ سُبْحانَکَ إِنِّی
کُنْتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمینَ » (انبیاء- 87)
7. It is also narrated from Imam Sadiq (a.s) that eating eggs and honey and Du’a for the child helps having children.
