Shaykh Muhammad Ba Shuayb once advised, for the sake of any children we are to have to recite all
our adhkar and awrad everyday and to ensure that we pray as many prayers in congregation with our
24k
spouse.

6
Read as much Quran as possible.
 Try and do as much salawat on the Prophet (saw) as possible in particular Salat al-Tunjina and As
salaam Alaikum ayuha-nabee wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu

As babies are said to be able to recognise certain sounds and music from their time in the womb,
reading certain texts such as the Book of Assistance by Imam al-Haddad, is advised in order to bring
about recognition.

One of the Habaib also advised pregnant women to look at pictures of the Kaaba when she was too
tired to actively engage in ibada.

For those trying to conceive children

Recite Surah Fatiha (Surah 1) 41 times in between the sunnah and fard of Fajr prayer.

Recite verse 38 of Surah Imran (Surah 3) as many times a day as possible.
