Islamic guidance for week 5
A dua and a reflection
رَبِّ هَبْ لِي مِن لَّدُنكَ ذُرِّيَّةً طَيِّبَةً إِنَّكَ سَمِيعُ الدُّعَاءِ
Rabbi hab li min ladunka dhurriyyatan tayyibah, innaka sami‘u‑du‘a.
“My Lord, grant me from Yourself a pure offspring. Indeed, You are the Hearer of supplication.”
Qur’an 3:38
Your pregnancy has begun, even before most signs appear. Allah has written the ajal; rest in that knowledge.
