From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. ʾAqīqah (Arabic: ?????), aqeeqa, or aqeeqah is the Islamic tradition of the sacrifice of an animal on the occasion of a child's birth.
In Islam, the baby is named on the seventh day by the mother and father who make a decision together on what the child should be called. They choose an appropriate name, usually Islamic, and with a positive meaning. Aqiqah takes place on the seventh day also, this is a celebration which involves the slaughter of sheep.
The most common way of childbirth is a vaginal delivery. It involves three stages of labour: the shortening and opening of the cervix, descent and birth of the baby, and the delivery of the placenta.
It is done by rubbing a softened date on the palate of the new-born just after the birth. The tahneek also exercises the muscles of the mouth and helps with the circulation of blood in the mouth - this may help the baby to be able to suck and take mother's milk.
Zakat is one of the five pillars of Islam and an act of worship. The meaning of zakat is “to purify” and so to purify our own wealth all Muslims are obliged to pay a portion of one's assets to help those in need. Zakat benefits the giver as well as the receiver. Zakat can also be spelled as zakah or zakat.
The adhan (Arabic: ?????? [?aˈðaːn]), also written as adhaan, azan, azaan or athan, also called ezan in Turkish, is the Islamic call to prayer, recited by the muezzin at prescribed times of the day. The root of the word is ʾadhina ?????? meaning "to listen, to hear, be informed about".

The most important thing you can do is acknowledge this baby by using their name and allowing his or her parents to cry and talk about their child as much or as little as they like as they move through their grief. The baby's death will have repercussions throughout the parents' lives.
Some babies die in the uterus (womb) before they are born (called an intra-uterine fetal death). It can happen during the last half of pregnancy or, more rarely, during the labour and birth, when it is known as intrapartum death. When the baby who has died during labour and birth is born, this is called a stillbirth.
Here are five ways we can help parents cope with the tragedy of stillbirth.
- Acknowledge parents' loss.
- Offer ongoing support to parents.
- Raise public awareness.
- Investigate each stillbirth.
- Give parents answers.
What are possible causes of stillbirth?
- Pregnancy and labor complications. Problems with the pregnancy likely caused almost one in three stillbirths.
- Problems with the placenta.
- Birth defects.
- Infection.
- Problems with the umbilical cord.
- High blood pressure disorders.
- Medical complications in the mother.
The midwife should approach any conversation with the parents of a stillborn baby in a sensitive, dignified way. This involves maintaining privacy, and talking to parents in an empathetic manner. Actively listening to the parents will help the midwife to foster communication and a trusting relationship with them.
Stillbirth is the delivery, after the 20th week of pregnancy, of a baby who has died. Loss of a baby before the 20th week of pregnancy is called a miscarriage. A baby is stillborn in about 1 in 200 pregnancies. Most women who have a stillbirth will be able to have a healthy baby in their next pregnancy.
What do you say to grieving parents?
- Be simple: “I'm sorry for your loss.”
- Be honest: “I don't know what to say. I can't imagine what you're going through.”
- Be comforting: “I care about you and your family. Please tell me what I can do to help.”
