Islamic guidance for week 9

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

From an embryo to a fetus — subhanallah, each stage is a miracle of ordering.
