الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ

Transliteration

Al-ḥamdu li-llāhi ʿalā kulli ḥāl

English meaning

All praise is for Allah in every state.

When to recite

Say “Alhamdulillah ʻala kulli hal” when the test is positive, when the heartbeat is heard, when the gender is revealed, when labour is over and your baby is in your arms. “All praise belongs to Allah in every state.” The Prophet ﷺ taught us to praise Allah for the good and to ask Him to help us through the hard. Both are part of being Muslim, and both are part of pregnancy.
