More than a pregnancy tracker — a spiritual companion

Most pregnancy apps focus only on symptoms, kick counts, and appointments. But for Muslim mothers, pregnancy is also a profound act of worship — a time for increased dua, gratitude, and reliance on Allah. Hamila is the first app built with both realities in mind.

Every feature in Hamila is designed with the Muslim mother's full experience in view: practical health tools sit alongside duas for each trimester, Quranic recitation recommendations, and guidance on Islamic birth practices — all in one calm, beautiful app.

Whether you are a first-time mother or welcoming your fourth child, Hamila grows with you — from the dua of conception through to the adhān after birth and the aqīqah celebration beyond.

Everything You Need, in One App

From the first trimester to birth and beyond, Hamila supports every step of your Islamic pregnancy journey.

Week-by-Week Pregnancy Tracking

Follow your baby's development from conception to birth with medically informed weekly updates. Track weight, symptoms, kick counts, and key milestones all in one place — so you always know what's happening and what to expect next.

Duas, Dhikr & Adhkar for Every Stage

Access a curated collection of duas and adhkar drawn from the Quran and Sunnah, organised by trimester and situation — from early pregnancy anxieties and requesting a righteous child, to the final weeks before birth and gratitude after delivery.

Personalised Islamic Birth Plan

Create a birth plan that centres your Islamic values — including your preferences for recitation in the delivery room, adhān after birth, aqīqah planning, and tahnik. Share it with your midwife or birth team with one tap.

Contraction & Labour Timer

Time your contractions accurately with a one-touch interface during labour. The app records duration and frequency automatically, helping you and your care team know when it's time to head to the hospital or birth centre.

Muslim Mothers Community

What to Expect Each Trimester — The Islamic Way

Hamila walks alongside you through all three trimesters, blending medically informed guidance with spiritually grounding Islamic content.

First Trimester

Weeks 1–13 · Settling your heart

The first trimester often brings a mix of joy, fatigue, and uncertainty. Hamila provides week-by-week updates on your baby's rapid early development alongside duas for conceiving a righteous child, seeking protection from harm, and steadying the heart. Morning sickness tips, nutrition guidance, and your first appointment checklist are all here.

Second Trimester

Weeks 14–27 · Building healthy routines

Energy often returns in the second trimester, making it the ideal time to establish healthy habits. Hamila helps you track baby movements, log your growing weight, and build consistent morning and evening adhkar routines. Guidance on halal nutrition, gentle movement, and preparing for the anatomy scan sit alongside weekly spiritual reflections.

Third Trimester

Weeks 28–40 · Preparing for birth and beyond

The final stretch calls for practical preparation and deep tawakkul. Use Hamila's contraction timer when labour begins, finalise your Islamic birth plan, and pack your hospital bag with our tailored checklist. Post-birth guidance covers the adhān, tahnik, aqīqah, and the duas of new parenthood.

"Finally an app that gets me as a Muslim mother — the duas for each stage are exactly what I needed."

Ramadan While Pregnant: Islamic Guidance, Fasting Rules & Safety Tips

For many Muslim women, the arrival of Ramadan during pregnancy brings a deeply personal tension: a sincere desire to fast alongside a responsibility to protect their health and their growing baby. This guide brings together classical Islamic rulings, contemporary scholarly guidance, and evidence-based health research.

What Islamic Scholars Say About Fasting in Pregnancy

Classical fiqh is unanimous on one fundamental point: pregnant women are permitted — and in some cases obligated — to break their fast if there is genuine fear of harm to themselves or their unborn child.

The majority ruling across the four Sunni madhabs holds that if a pregnant woman fears harm through fasting, she may break the fast and make it up later (qadha), similar to a sick person. Some scholars add that she may also pay a fidya (feeding one poor person per missed day) if making up the days is physically very difficult.

The key word is fear of genuine harm, not mere discomfort. A trusted Muslim OB-GYN or midwife, in consultation with a scholar who understands your medical context, is your best partner in making this call.

What the Research Says

The scientific picture is nuanced and context-dependent. Studies on Ramadan exposure during pregnancy found measurable effects on birth outcomes, while research from Muslim-majority countries shows varying results depending on climate, gestational age and trimester at the time of fasting.

The evidence is mixed, trimester matters, and individual medical factors dominate. A woman fasting in her third trimester in a hot climate faces different risks than one in her second trimester in cooler conditions.

Factors Your Doctor Will Assess

Your clinician will consider several key factors before advising whether fasting is safe for you and your baby.

Which trimester you are in — first trimester fasting may affect organogenesis; third trimester fasting in heat carries dehydration risks

Your baseline health — gestational diabetes, anemia, or low blood pressure change the calculus significantly

Your baby's growth — if your baby is measuring small on scans, fasting is generally not advised

Your environment — long summer fast days of 16 or more hours in hot climates carry higher dehydration risk

If You Choose to Fast: Practical Guidance

If medically cleared and your scholarly advisor confirms fasting is appropriate, follow these essential guidelines.

Hydrate aggressively between iftar and suhoor — aim for at least 8 to 10 glasses of water or lightly salted fluids

Make suhoor count — slow-release carbohydrates, protein such as eggs and yogurt, and healthy fats

Monitor baby movements — track kick counts after iftar using Hamila's Kick Counter

Rest in the hottest part of the day — reduce physical activity between Dhuhr and Asr

Know your stop signs — headache, dizziness, decreased fetal movement, contractions, or dark urine means break your fast immediately

Staying Spiritually Connected If You Cannot Fast

Not fasting does not mean not experiencing Ramadan. There are many meaningful ways to stay deeply connected to the month.

Increase your Quran recitation — set a daily page or juz target realistic for your energy level

Keep your morning and evening adhkar — Hamila's Spirit screen surfaces time-appropriate dhikr checklists for Fajr and Asr

Use the daily Name of Allah and daily hadith features — short daily prompts keep spiritual awareness alive through Ramadan

Increase sadaqah — combine fidya with increased general charity throughout the month

Attend or listen to tarawih — brings the spiritual atmosphere of Ramadan without physical toll

Pregnancy Duas for Ramadan Nights

Ramadan is the time when duas are most powerful, especially in the last ten nights. Hamila's dua library includes supplications specifically suited to pregnancy.

Protection of your baby — supplications for the child's health and strong iman

A righteous child — the Quranic dua of Zakariyya (AS): "My Lord, grant me from Yourself a good offspring." (3:38)

Ease in birth — specific duas for a smooth and safe delivery

Making the Decision with Both Iman and Wisdom

The Islamic tradition has always held that Allah does not intend hardship for His servants, and the permission to leave fasting is a mercy, not a concession. Making a careful, medically informed and spiritually grounded decision — and then accepting Allah's decree — is itself an act of deep ibadah.

Use Ramadan as a season to strengthen your spiritual toolkit: build the dhikr habits, dua routines, and Quran connection that will carry you through labour, postpartum and years of raising your child.

Questions mothers often ask

Can a pregnant woman fast in Ramadan?

According to the majority of Islamic scholars, pregnant women are permitted to break their fast if there is genuine fear of harm to themselves or their baby. They can make up missed days (qadha) after Ramadan, and in some cases also pay fidya.

What trimester is safest to fast in Ramadan?

The evidence is mixed and individual medical factors dominate. Trimester, climate, fast duration, and your baseline health all affect safety. Always consult both a Muslim scholar and your doctor or midwife before deciding.

How can I stay spiritually connected in Ramadan if I cannot fast?

Increase Quran recitation, maintain your morning and evening adhkar, give sadaqah including fidya, and attend or listen to tarawih. Hamila's Spirit tab supports all of these throughout the month.
