How to Congratulate a New Mother in Islam

In Islam, you congratulate new parents by praising Allah, asking Him to bless the child, and praying for the mother’s health. Classical scholars recorded this congratulation, which is often linked to Hasan al-Basri:

بَارَكَ اللَّهُ لَكَ فِي الْمَوْهُوبِ لَكَ، وَشَكَرْتَ الْوَاهِبَ، وَبَلَغَ أَشُدَّهُ، وَرُزِقْتَ بِرَّهُ

Barakallahu laka fil-mawhubi lak, wa shakartal-wahib, wa balagha ashuddahu, wa ruziqta birrah.

“May Allah bless you in the gift He has given you. May you thank the Giver, may the child reach maturity, and may you be granted the child’s kindness.”

The parents may reply: “Barakallahu laka wa baraka ‘alaik, wa jazakallahu khayran, wa razaqakallahu mithlahu.” (“May Allah bless you too, reward you with good, and grant you the same.”) When speaking to a woman, use laki instead of laka.

Islamic Etiquette When Visiting a New Mother

Your visit says as much as your words. Keep these manners in mind:

• Ask before you visit. New mothers need rest, especially in the first days after birth.
• Say “MashaAllah” and “Barakallah” when you praise the baby, to protect from nazar.
• Keep your visit short. She may be tired, sore or feeding the baby.
• Bring something useful, like cooked food, dates or help with chores, not only gifts for the baby.
• Avoid hurtful comments about her weight, the baby’s looks or gender, or the type of delivery.
• Make dua out loud for her. It comforts her more than you think.
