Therefore, I would recommend that you actively listen to the Qur’an when it is playing, recite it yourself for the baby, or consider playing a nasheed or dhikr instead.\\n\\nThis is not to say that recitation of the Qur’an and dhikr of Allah is not beneficial to the child - it absolutely is, even while they are still in the womb. For centuries, Muslim mothers have engaged in recitation of the Qur’an and dhikr during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. \\n\\nI believe that doing this yourself, rather than relying on a recording, is much more meaningful, intimate, and impactful for both you and your child.\\n\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fdf0b76658b4c232798","tag":"Quran: Etiquettes","count":63},{"_id":"668d9fdd0b76658b4c232765","tag":"Women: Children and Childbirth","count":50}],"createdOn":"2025-05-05T23:09:53.564Z"}
