Tilawah as Birth Breathing Exercise (Updated October 2020 from 12/18/2013)

What is Subconscious progressive breathing obtained from regular tilawah?  


When we tilawah (recite al qur'an), we don't really calculate very meticulously. 


We scan a line then we take a breath as much or as little as we feel we need. 

We are given allowances to stop at several places according to our capacity. 

Allah is not zalim, Allah gives the one who tries two rewards; one for trying and another for reciting the qur'an.


How to use subconscious tilawah breathing for birth? 

Muslimahs have been doing it all their lives-- by gradually increasing their daily portion of tilawah

Muslimahs who have not gone to childbirth classes ace positive births because their trust in Allah and the rewards of birthing, and by their amal ibadah such as solah and tilawah

Those who perhaps have bad birthing experiences, require a little push (information) from the wealth of childbirth education to help them. 

This does not mean childbirth education is not significant; it is. 

But it is 50% if not less of what a muslimah needs to have a positive birth experience. 

'Ilm (childbirth ed) plus aqidah & religious knowledge - indispensable package for the modern muslimah of the 21st century.
