Du’a for Pregnancy

Imam Ja’far as-Sadiq (A.S.) has taught the following dua:

    بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

    اَللّهُمَّ لاَ تَذَرْنِيْ فَرْدًا وَّ اَنْتَ خَيْرُ الْوَارِثِيْنَ وَحِيْدًا وَّ وَحْشِيًّا فَيَقْصُرُ عَنْ تَفَكُّرِيْ بَلْ هَبْ لِيْ عَافِيَةَ صِدْقٍ ذُكُرًا وَّ اُنَاثًا انَسُ بِهِمْ مِنَ الْوَحْشَةِ وَ اَسْكُنُ اِلَيْهِمْ مِنَ الْوَحْدَةِ وَ اَشْكُرُكَ عِنْدَ تَمَامِ نِّعْمَةٍ يَا وَهَّابُ يَا عَظِيْمُ يَا مُعَظَّمُ ثُمَّ اَعْطِنِيْ فِيْ كُلِّ عَاقِبَةٍ شُكْرًا حَتّى تَبْلُغَنِيْ مِنْهَا رِضْوَانُكَ فِيْ صِدْقِ الْحَدِيْثِ وَ اَدَاءِ الْاَمَانَةِ وَ وَفَاءٍ بِالْعَهْدِ

Transliteration:

Allaahumma laa tadharni fardanw wa anta khairul waaretheen wah’eedanw wah’sheeyan fayaqs’uroo a’n tafakkori bal habli a’afiyata s’idqin dhokooranw wa onaathan aanaso behim minal wah’shate wa askuno ilaihim minal wah’date wa ashkoroka I’nda tamaame ne’matin yaa wahhaabo yaa a’zeemo yaa mo-a’z’z’amo thumma a’at’eni fee kulle a’aqibatin shukran h’atta tabloghani minha riz’waanoka fee s’idqil h’adeethe wa adaaail amaanate wa wafaain bil ‘ahde
Translation: O Allah! Do not keep me solitary though You are the best of Inheritors. I am alone and terrified of loneliness. This worry has reduced my thankfulness to You. So bestow on me true forgiveness and give me female and male children so that by their company I can cure my terror of loneliness. By which my loneliness is cured. So that on the completion of this bounty I can thank You. O the greatest Giver, O the Greatest, O the Bestower of greatness, after this bestow me with tawfeeq that I thank You for every kindness. Till I can achieve Your kindness by thankfulness, by speaking the truth, by returning trusts and by fulfilling oaths.1
