The presence of the newborn baby is good news for couples. The positive expectations of the fruit grow in the heart. Muslims are advised to be content with their fortune. Making dua, praying for their success and congratulating them are some ways to show that we are happy to have a newborn baby in Muslim. Islamic law teaches us to make a series of dhikr and dua that should be done when the newborn baby is born. This dhikr and dua are mainly performed by his father and still recommended to others.
Islam has given very detailed attention to the newborn from the process of conception, pregnancy, childbirth, through nurturing at birth of the child and growing into adulthood. All received careful attention and guidance. It shows the importance of holding, caring for and educating the newborn from the very beginning.
Here Dua is presented for a newborn baby in Islam.
1. "My Lord, indeed I [I] gave birth to [her] a woman." And Allah knows better what she has delivered, and is not male like female. "And that I [I] called her Maryam, and that I [I] seek refuge for her in you and her descendants from the Shaitaan, the rejected."(Al-Imran 3:36)
Every baby born is hand stabbed by a demon until the baby screams and cries. Thanks to Maryam's mother's dua, Maryam was born without the intrusion of the devil. Similarly, when the prophet Isa was born, Maryam prayed that Isa would always be protected. So when your baby is born, it is good to pray for the baby like Maryam's mother.
