Greetings to copy
Arabic, transliteration and meaning. Where a line is a dua or a report, the source is given; customary greetings are marked as such.
بارك الله لك في الموهوب لك وشكرت الواهب وبلغ أشده ورزقت بره
Barakallahu laka fil-mawhubi laka, wa shakartal-wahib, wa balagha ashuddahu, wa ruziqta birrah
May Allah bless you in the one given to you; may you thank the Giver; may the child reach maturity, and may you be granted their kindness.
Not a hadith of the Prophet ﷺ: a narration of al-Hasan al-Basri, cited by al-Nawawi in al-Adhkar.
بارك الله لك وبارك عليك وجزاك الله خيرا ورزقك الله مثله
Barakallahu laka wa baraka ‘alayk, wa jazakallahu khayran, wa razaqakallahu mithlah
May Allah bless you and shower blessings on you, reward you with good and give you the same.
A reply for the parents, also cited by al-Nawawi in al-Adhkar.
ما شاء الله تبارك الله
Ma sha’ Allah, tabarak Allah
What Allah wills; blessed is Allah.
Said on seeing something good, to ask for barakah.
رب هب لي من لدنك ذرية طيبة إنك سميع الدعاء
Rabbi hab li min ladunka dhurriyyatan tayyibah, innaka sami‘ud-du‘a’
My Lord, grant me from Yourself good offspring; You hear all prayers.
The dua of Zakariyya. Qur’an 3:38.
ربنا هب لنا من أزواجنا وذرياتنا قرة أعين
Rabbana hab lana min azwajina wa dhurriyyatina qurrata a‘yun
Our Lord, grant us from our spouses and children the coolness of our eyes.
أعيذك بكلمات الله التامة من كل شيطان وهامة ومن كل عين لامة
U‘idhuka bi-kalimatillahit-tammati min kulli shaytanin wa hammah, wa min kulli ‘aynin lammah
I seek protection for you in the perfect words of Allah from every devil and harmful creature, and from every evil eye.
The Prophet ﷺ sought this protection for al-Hasan and al-Husayn. Sahih al-Bukhari 3371.
رب اجعلني مقيم الصلاة ومن ذريتي
Rabbij‘alni muqimas-salati wa min dhurriyyati
My Lord, make me steadfast in prayer, and my children too.

How this works
- Drawn on your device. Each design is drawn with code on an HTML canvas in your browser. Nothing is uploaded, and the names you type are never sent to Niyat or put in the link.
- Real Arabic lettering. The page waits for the Arabic fonts (Amiri for Naskh, Aref Ruqaa and Reem Kufi) to load before drawing, so letters join and read right to left as they should.
- Sizes that fit. Post is 1080 by 1080 for chats and feeds. Story is 1080 by 1920 for WhatsApp status and Instagram stories, with the words kept clear of the top and bottom bars.
- Sharing. On most phones Share sends the image straight to WhatsApp, Instagram or Messages. Where a browser cannot share images, the card is saved instead.
Sources: Qur’an references link to the Niyat Qur’an. Hadith numbers follow the standard numbering of each collection (Sahih al-Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Sunan Abi Dawud, Jami’ at-Tirmidhi, Sunan an-Nasa’i, Sunan Ibn Majah). Fonts are from Google Fonts under the SIL Open Font License.
Frequently asked questions
What do you say to congratulate new parents in Islam?
A well-known wording is “Barakallahu laka fil-mawhubi laka, wa shakartal-wahib, wa balagha ashuddahu, wa ruziqta birrah”. It is reported from al-Hasan al-Basri, not from the Prophet ﷺ, and al-Nawawi cites it in al-Adhkar. Any good dua is fine.
Can I put the baby’s name on the card?
Yes. Put the baby’s or the parents’ name in For and yours in From. Nothing you type leaves your browser.
What should parents do in the first days?
The sunnah includes the aqiqah on the seventh day, naming the child and shaving the head. See the aqiqah guide for sources and the views of the schools.
Looking for a name?
The Niyat baby names directory lists Qur’anic and Prophetic names with meanings, Arabic spelling and sources.
Is anything uploaded?
No. The card is drawn in your browser and nothing you type is sent to Niyat or saved.
