Dua for Barakah

Audio recitation

Audio plays in the background and shows on your iPhone lock screen.

بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ وَبَارَكَ عَلَيْكُمْ

Transliteration

Bāraka-llāhu lakum wa-bāraka ʿalaykum

English meaning

May Allah place blessings in this for you, and bestow blessings upon you.

When to recite

Recite this dua at every milestone of pregnancy and parenting: the first scan, the baby shower, the day labour begins, the first time you feed your child. “May Allah place barakah in this for you, and on you.” It is the dua the Prophet ﷺ taught for new marriages and beginnings, and few beginnings are as profound as a new soul entering the world.
