Speaking about brightness, there are many offered methods on building children intelligence; starting from medicines, foods, supplements and certain trainings.

Pregnancy is Allah’s bless that must be gratified. It means that you are being entrusted a child by Allah. As such, you have to be grateful for this wonderful bless. Accept the pregnancy with sincerity and joy. Without love and affection, the fetus’s growth will not be optimal. Allah SWT has said:

“Or He mingleth them, males and females, and he maketh barren whom he will. Lo! He is Knower, Powerful.” (QS Asy-Syuura: 50)

• Pray more

Dua is the manifestation of relation between the weak unworthy and The Almighty. Everyday a moslem must pray more, especially when she has blessed with pregnancy. This must be done not only by the wife but also the husband.

Pray for strength and easiness since starting the pregnancy until giving birth. Pray that the unborn baby will be bright and pious child. Among recommended dua is QS Al-Furqaan: 74:

“Our Lord! Vouchsafe us comfort of our wives and of our offspring, and make us pattern for (all) those who ward off (evil).”

Don’t forget to read the dua for husband and wife before copulation:

“In the name of Allah, keep us away from satan and keep the satan away from bless that will be given to us.”

• Do more Qiyamul Lail

Night prayer especially on one third of the night is a very good medium to connect to Allah. There are many benefit can be obtained from night prayer, physically as well psychically. Some of them will strengthen the faith and self believe needed to face unexpected things that would happen during pregnancy and on giving birth.

• Read Quran more

Allah SWT has said:

“And bear in mind which is recited in your houses of the revelation of Allah and wisdom. Lo! Allah is Subtle, Aware.” (QS Al-Ahzab: 34)

Reading Qur’an not only can bring peace to whom read it but also to whom heard it. Especially for women in pregnancy, she needs peace and comfort during those days very much. It is important to remember that emotional instability of pregnant women may release negative substance within her blood which can lead to discomfort. The baby would be stimulated the same way and become unstable. According to children psychologist Dra. Surastuti Nurdadi, positive stimulation on the contrary can increase children intelligence since they were unborn. Moreover, when the pregnancy is twenty weeks old, fetus can hear outside voices. Al-Qur’an recital is the best a recital that must be sounded off to a baby, so later he/she could get used to it.
