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

Join a private, moderated community of Muslim mothers from around the world. Share your journey, ask questions, and find support from women who understand the unique experience of navigating pregnancy with faith at the centre.

Quran, Surahs & Islamic Resources

Access recommended surahs for pregnancy, a complete dua library, and curated Islamic guidance on topics like breastfeeding, naming your child, and post-birth rituals — all sourced from recognised Islamic scholarship.

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."

Surahs for Pregnancy

Surah Maryam During Pregnancy — Why Mothers Recite It

سُورَةُ مَرْيَمَ

No surah is more beloved to pregnant Muslim women than Surah Maryam — the chapter named after the only woman mentioned by name in the Quran, and the one that describes her pregnancy and labor in intimate detail.

In it, Maryam withdraws to a remote place, labor pains drive her to the trunk of a palm tree, and Allah responds with tenderness: "Do not grieve; your Lord has placed beneath you a stream. And shake toward you the trunk of the palm tree; it will drop upon you ripe, fresh dates" (19:24-25). Provision, comfort, and care — delivered to a mother at her most vulnerable hour.

There is no specific hadith mandating Surah Maryam in pregnancy; mothers recite it for its meanings — to walk through pregnancy and birth in the company of the Quran's most honoured mother, and to draw hope from how Allah carried her through it.

Surah Maryam 19:24-25 — Allah's care for Maryam in labor

فَنَادَاهَا مِن تَحْتِهَا أَلَّا تَحْزَنِي قَدْ جَعَلَ رَبُّكِ تَحْتَكِ سَرِيًّا ۝ وَهُزِّي إِلَيْكِ بِجِذْعِ النَّخْلَةِ تُسَاقِطْ عَلَيْكِ رُطَبًا جَنِيًّا

Fanadaha min tahtiha alla tahzani qad ja'ala rabbuki tahtaki sariyya. Wa huzzi ilayki bijidh'in-nakhlati tusaqit 'alayki rutaban janiyya

So he called her from below her: "Do not grieve; your Lord has placed beneath you a stream. And shake toward you the trunk of the palm tree; it will drop upon you ripe, fresh dates."

Source: Quran 19:24-25

When to Recite It

Many mothers recite Surah Maryam weekly through the first trimester and return to verses 19:22-26 as birth approaches. Recite with the translation at least once — the benefit is in living its meanings, not only its sounds.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is there a hadith about reciting Surah Maryam during pregnancy?

No authentic hadith prescribes Surah Maryam specifically for pregnancy. The practice comes from the surah's subject matter — Maryam's pregnancy, labor, and Allah's care for her — which makes it a natural companion for expecting mothers. Reciting any Quran during pregnancy carries reward.

Which verses of Surah Maryam relate to childbirth?

Verses 19:16-26 tell the story: the glad tidings of Isa, the pregnancy, the labor pains at the palm trunk ("Would that I had died before this"), and Allah's response of water, dates, and comfort. Verse 19:25 is often highlighted — even Maryam was asked to shake the tree, a reminder that trust in Allah pairs with effort.

Do dates help with labor?

The Quran's image of fresh dates given to Maryam in labor is echoed by modern studies suggesting date consumption in late pregnancy is associated with improved labor outcomes. Many Muslim mothers eat dates daily in the final weeks, drawing on both the verse and the research.
