Exhaustive Revelation

Quran

وَالَّذِينَ يَقُولُونَ رَبَّنَا هَبْ لَنَا مِنْ أَزْوَاجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّاتِنَا قُرَّةَ أَعْيُنٍ وَاجْعَلْنَا لِلْمُتَّقِينَ إِمَامًا

"And those who say, 'Our Lord, grant us from among our wives and offspring comfort to our eyes and make us an example for the righteous.'"

Surah Al-Furqan · 25:74

This verse prescribes supplication (du'a) for righteous offspring, establishing prayer as spiritual therapy for those seeking children.

وَزَكَرِيَّا إِذْ نَادَىٰ رَبَّهُ رَبِّ لَا تَذَرْنِي فَرْدًا وَأَنتَ خَيْرُ الْوَارِثِينَ ۝ فَاسْتَجَبْنَا لَهُ وَوَهَبْنَا لَهُ يَحْيَىٰ وَأَصْلَحْنَا لَهُ زَوْجَهُ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا يُسَارِعُونَ فِي الْخَيْرَاتِ وَيَدْعُونَنَا رَغَبًا وَرَهَبًا ۖ وَكَانُوا لَنَا خَاشِعِينَ

"And [mention] Zechariah, when he called to his Lord, 'My Lord, do not leave me alone [with no heir], while You are the best of inheritors.' So We responded to him, and We gave to him John, and amended for him his wife. Indeed, they used to hasten to good deeds and supplicate Us in hope and fear, and they were to Us humbly submissive."

Surah Al-Anbiya · 21:89-90

This verse directly addresses Allah's cure of female infertility (amending Zechariah's wife to conceive), demonstrating divine intervention in reproductive health.

وَإِنِّي خِفْتُ الْمَوَالِيَ مِن وَرَائِي وَكَانَتِ امْرَأَتِي عَاقِرًا فَهَبْ لِي مِن لَّدُنكَ وَلِيًّا ۝ يَرِثُنِي وَيَرِثُ مِنْ آلِ يَعْقُوبَ ۖ وَاجْعَلْهُ رَبِّ رَضِيًّا

"And indeed, I fear the successors after me, and my wife has been barren, so give me from Yourself an heir who will inherit me and inherit from the family of Jacob. And make him, my Lord, pleasing [to You]."

Surah Maryam · 19:5-6

Zechariah's explicit description of his wife as barren (aqir) and his supplication establishes a prophetic model for addressing female infertility through divine petition.

Sahih Hadith

تَزَوَّجُوا الْوَدُودَ الْوَلُودَ فَإِنِّي مُكَاثِرٌ بِكُمُ الأُمَمَ

"Marry the loving (and) fertile woman, for I shall outnumber the peoples by you."

Sahih Muslim · 1468SahihNarrator: Ma'qil ibn Yasar

The Prophet's emphasis on fertility (al-walud) acknowledges reproductive capacity as a desirable marital quality and implicitly supports seeking treatment for infertility.

لَا تَزَوَّجُوا النِّسَاءَ لِحُسْنِهِنَّ فَعَسَى حُسْنُهُنَّ أَنْ يُرْدِيَهُنَّ وَلَا تَزَوَّجُوهُنَّ لِأَمْوَالِهِنَّ فَعَسَى أَمْوَالُهُنَّ أَنْ تُطْغِيَهُنَّ وَلَكِنْ تَزَوَّجُوهُنَّ عَلَى الدِّينِ وَلَأَمَةٌ خَرْمَاءُ سَوْدَاءُ ذَاتُ دِينٍ أَفْضَلُ

"Do not marry women for their beauty, for perhaps their beauty will destroy them, and do not marry them for their wealth, for perhaps their wealth will make them arrogant. But marry them for their religion. A black slave woman with a mutilated nose who has religion is better."

Sunan Abi Dawud · 2050HasanNarrator: Abu Hurairah

This hadith prioritizes religious character over physical attributes including fertility, providing psychological counsel for women experiencing infertility by affirming their intrinsic value.

Ibn al-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah, At-Tibb an-Nabawi, Chapter on Dates (al-Tamr) and Chapter on Marriage - emphasizes dates (especially Ajwa) for strengthening reproductive capacity, regular conjugal relations for hormonal balance, and supplication following the model of Prophets Zakariya and Ibrahim for divine intervention in conception.
