Pregnancy, - The Virtues of Pregnancy

After some time has elapsed, the couple desire that Allah Taa'la bless
them with a child and thus through maritalconsummation Allah Taa'la
grants their wish. The first stage that follows is that of pregnancy.
A person should not be ashamed of being pregnant or treat it as a big
burden, as there are many beautiful virtues and rewards for being
pregnant .
Virtues for being Pregnant
Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: "The woman that dies in
her virginity or during her pregnancy or at the time of birth or
thereafter (in nifaas) will attain the rank of a martyr."
It is mentioned in another Hadith that Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi
wasallam) said: "Does it not please you (OWomen!) that when you
conceive from your husbands while he is pleased with you then that
woman will receive such reward equal to that of a fasting person in
the path of Allah and spending the night in ibaadat. When her labour
pains commence the inhabitants of the earth and the sky are unaware of
the stores of comfort that are prepared for her. When she delivers and
breast feeds her child then she will be granted a reward for every
gulp of milk, and if she had to remain awake during the night for the
sake of her child, she will receive the reward of emancipating seventy
slaves in the pathof Allah. O Salaamat! Do you know who these women
are? They are pious, upright, delicately natured but yet are obedient
to their husbands and not ungrateful to them."
Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: "A woman from her
pregnancy till the time ofweaning her child is like one protecting the
boundaries of the Islamicstate. If she passes away during this period
she attains the reward of martyrdom."
In another Hadith it is mentioned that, "The woman who dies of labour
pains is regarded as a martyr (shaheedah)."
A woman should therefore gladly bear these difficulties patiently and
calmly as she will be highly rewarded.
Hazrat Mail bin Yasaar (radiyallahu anhu) narrates that Rasulullah
(Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: "Marry such women who are loving
and produce children (in abundance) because (on the day of Qiyaamah) I
will vie with other Ummats and be proud of your numbers."
In another Hadith Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: "Even
the miscarried foetus will drag its mother towards Jannat ifshe
exercised patience with the hope of acquiring reward."
Rasulullah (Sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said: "When the woman
breastfeeds then on every gulp of milk the child receives,the reward
is as though she has granted life to a being and when she weans her
child, then theangels pat her on her back saying: CONGRATULATIONS! all
your past sins have been forgiven, now start all over again."
[By sins is intended the minor sins, this is also a great reward.] -
