THE VIRTUES OF PREGNANCY IN ISLAM
When a woman is pregnant with a child, all the angels will make Istighfar (repentance) on her behalf
ALLAH will, for each day of her pregnancy, write for her 1000 good deeds and erase from her 1000 bad deeds.
When a pregnant woman starts to feel the pain from contractions, ALLAH will write in her records as someone who is doing jihad (spiritual or physical struggle) in His path.
When a woman becomes pregnant by her husband and he is pleased with her, she obtains the reward of a person engaging in fasting for ALLAH and a person spending the night in ibaadah (worship).
A woman from the time of pregnancy until childbirth and weaning the baby, is like the Mujahid (someone fighting in the path of Allah, swa) who is stationed on the frontiers of the Islamic land. If she dies during this period, she dies the death of a Shahid (martyr).
Two raka'at salaat performed by a pregnant woman is better than 80 raka'at salaat performed by a non-pregnant woman.
A woman who is pregnant gets the reward of fasting during the day and of doing ibaadah (worship) during the nights.
A woman who gives birth gets the reward of 70 years of salaat (prayer) and fasting. For each vein that feels pain, ALLAH gives her the reward of one accepted hajj (Pilgrimage to Makkah).
If the woman dies within 40 days of giving birth, she will die as a Shahid (matyr).
(Hadith).......'A woman that dies in her virginity, during her pregnancy, at the time of birth or thereafter (in nifaas) will attain the rank of a martyr'.
The Prophet (salalaallahu alayhi wassallam) is reported to have also said '........When her labor pains commence, the inhabitants of the earth and the sky are unaware of the stores of comfort that are prepared for her.
When she delivers and breast feeds her child, then she will be granted a reword for every gulp of milk, if she had to remain awake during the night for the sake of the child, she will receive the reword of emancipating seventy slaves in the path of ALLAH Ta'ala
Do you know who these women are?
They are pious, upright, with a delicate nature yet obedient to their husbands and not ungrateful to them.
โUbaadah ibn al-Saamit (R.A) Narrated that the Messenger of Allah (๏ทบ) said, ,
*โWho is counted as a shaheed among you?โ* They said, โThe one who fights & is killed for the sake of Allah.โ
The Messenger (๏ทบ) said: โThen the shaheeds among my ummah would be few.
_The one who is killed for the sake of Allaah is a shaheed;
_the one who dies of plague is a shaheed;
_the one who dies of a stomach disease is a shaheed;
_the woman who dies with a child in her womb is a shaheed.โ
This was narrated by Imaam Ahmad and Ibn Maajah.
MAY ALLAH (S. W. A) MAKE IT EASY FOR ALL PREGNANT WOMEN...Ameen Ya Rabb
