Islamic guidance for week 37

A dua and a reflection

لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ، سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ

La ilaha illa‑llahu‑l‑haleemul‑kareem, subhanallahi rabbi‑l‑‘arshil‑‘azheem.

There is no deity but Allah, the Forbearing, the Most Generous. Glory be to Allah, Lord of the mighty Throne.

Bukhari 6345

Full term — may Allah grant you an easy delivery and a healthy baby.
