Answer:
Read for baby boy
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever
He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that
there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Allah Says in the Holy
Quran Chapter 42 Surah Shura verses 49-50:
49 To Allah belongs the Dominion of the heavens and the earth. He creates what He Wills. He bestows (children) male or female
according to His Will.
50 Or He bestows both males and females, and He leaves barren whom He
Wills: for He is Full of Knowledge and Power.
My
beloved and dear Sister in Islam, know and believe with total and absolute
conviction that it is the Lord Creator Alone Who provides male offspring to
whom He Wills and Pleases, females to whom he Wills and Pleases, males and
females both to whom He Wills and Pleases, and leaves barren whom He Wills and
Pleases.
There
is absolutely no harm if one makes supplications to their Lord to provide them
their off-spring of their desired gender; but whatever the Lord provides them with
they should be grateful to Him for all His favors. May Allah Subhanah fulfill your heart’s
desire and bestow upon you righteous offspring, who become the contentment of
your eyes in the life of this world, and a source of attaining
One of
the best supplications to make to the Merciful Lord when one wishes for an
offspring is the humble and wholesome supplication of the Prophet Zachariah
(a.s.) when he was childless until an abject old age.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 21 Surah
Anbiya verses 89-90:
89 And (remember) Zakariya when he cried to
his Lord: "O my Lord! Leave me not without offspring, though Thou
art the Best of Inheritors.”
90 So We listened to him: and We granted him
Yahya: We cured his wife's (barrenness) for him. These three were ever quick in emulation in
good works: they used to call on Us with love and reverence, and humble
themselves before Us.
Another beautiful supplication one could make is the
supplication made by the Noble Prophet Ayyub (a.s.), when distress truly seized
him and he lost his health, wealth, and children as a trial from his Lord.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 21 Surah
Anbiyaa verses 83-84:
83 And (remember) Ayyub when he cried to his
Lord "Truly distress has seized me, but Thou art the Most Merciful
of those that are merciful."
84 So We listened to him: We removed the
distress that was on him, and We restored his people to him and doubled their
number as a Grace from Ourselves, and a thing for commemoration for all who
serve Us.
My dear and beloved sister in Islam, know with absolute
and total conviction that your condition and your desires are not unknown to
your Lord Most Gracious, for He is well aware of the exact condition of each in
His creation. Thus be constant and
consistent in your supplications to the Merciful Lord, and beseech Him and Him
Alone in humility, in awe, and in hope for all that your heart desires; for
there is none in the universe other than the One and Only Merciful Lord Who has
the Power to hear and respond to the supplications of His believing
slaves.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 35 Surah
Fatir verse 2:
2 What Allah out of His Mercy doth bestow
on mankind, there is none who can withhold: what He doth withhold, there is
none can grant apart from Him: and He is the Exalted in Power, Full of Wisdom.
Another beautiful supplication taught by the Messenger of
Allah (saws) to make when one has conjugal relations with one’s wife is:
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 1.143 Narrated by Ibn Abbas
The Prophet (saws) said, "If anyone of
you on having sexual relations with his wife said 'In the Name of Allah. O
Allah! Protect us from the Shaytaan and also protect what you bestow upon us
(i.e. the coming offspring) from the Shaytaan’, and if it is destined that they
should have a child, the Shaytaan will never be able to harm that
offspring."
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to
Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.
Your brother and
well wisher in Islam,
Burhan
