Bismika-llāhumma amūtu wa-aḥyā

English meaning

In Your name, O Allah, I die and I live.

When to recite

The Prophet’s ﷺ short dua before sleep: “In Your name, O Allah, I die and I live.” Add it to your nightly routine in pregnancy and beyond. It places one of the body’s most vulnerable acts — sleep — entirely under Allah’s care. A small but profound habit to model for your child for the rest of their life.
