This program was created for the Muslimah who seeks to return to the natural, undisturbed, and deeply spiritual design of childbirth: the way of tawakkul.
The Muslimah who seeks to step away from the fear-based, over-medicalized approach to birth.
I’ve created this course as guidance for the Muslimah who wants to experience pregnancy, birth and motherhood as acts of devotion and worship to Allah through giving birth at home, in it’s most raw and natural form, and truly embracing the natural design of Allah.
Making the decision to give birth outside of a medicalized system—or even simply reclaiming your authority while navigating the overwhelming options around pregnancy and birth—can feel intimidating and confusing. Many women sense that the mainstream model does not align with their values, but they aren’t sure how to move forward with clarity and confidence.
This course was created to guide you through that process with wisdom, gentleness, and depth.
Drawing upon authentic Islamic teachings, the natural design Allah created for women, and experience supporting mothers in undisturbed, natural birth, Childbirth with Tawakkul: The Fitrah Way provides a comprehensive education for the Muslim woman who seeks a safe, peaceful, and empowered homebirth or freebirth.
You’ll move step-by-step from pregnancy through postpartum, gaining a clear understanding of how birth actually works—physiologically, emotionally, and spiritually. You’ll find answers to the questions most women have when preparing for a homebirth or freebirth, and you’ll learn how to ground your decisions in knowledge, tawakkul, sabr, and shukr.
The course also includes reflective tools and heart-work that help you dismantle fear, challenge limiting beliefs, and remove the internal barriers that often hold women back. These insights don’t just transform birth—they strengthen you in every area of your life, including motherhood.
This is the kind of preparation that allows a woman to step into her birth with clarity, serenity, and full trust in Allah.
The Fitrah Way Method ™
The course is outlined through my Fitrah Way Method™: the Fitrah is our innate disposition upon which Allah created us; Tawheed. The Fitrah Way Method is birth preparation that prepares the heart and mind upon tawheed and tawakkul; that Allah is the Creator and Sustainer of all things, and we trust in His Perfect Wisdom and that He is the Best of Creators who designed all things with precision and His measure; that includes birth and breastfeeding.
The Fitrah Way Method™ aims to preserve the natural physiology of pregnancy and birth by rejecting interference and disturbances to the natural process, focusing on wholesome Sunnah and traditionally inspired nutrition, transforming fear and pain into trust and wisdom, de-conditioning yourself from the mainstream birth culture, utilizing your pregnancy as a time of spiritual purification by attaching your heart to Allah, and letting birth unfold on its own as an act of devotional act of worship.
Why Homebirth/
Freebirth?
The home is a virtuous place for the Muslim woman and it is her sanctuary. A Muslim woman worships Allah the best in her home, and it is my belief and opinion that birth is not a necessity which requires a woman to leave her home; in fact, it is the opposite; leaving the home is the first intervention in childbirth that introduces unnecessary risk, while remaining at home supports and protects birth by giving it the beneficial environment to progress and unfold naturally as Allah designed it. This is what my Method teaches.
This course is the only Islamic, holistic childbirth education program that exists today that is completely free from secular, mainstream ideologies, and focuses on Homebirth and Freebirth specifically.
Tawakkul is one of the greatest acts of worship.
Tawakkul is not passive, and neither is choosing to birth at home. Tawakkul is an active state of the heart which combines taking the useful, beneficial means and trusting and relying solely upon Allah alone to provide for us.
Throughout this course, in shaa Allah, we will go deeply into learning about Freebirth, Homebirth, and Self-Directed Pregnancy with Tawheed, and strong Iman and ‘Aqeedah as the foundation, combined with a true understanding of physiological, natural birth and breastfeeding.
Rooted in authentic Islamic knowledge, classical wisdom, and the physiological science of birth, this course will guide you to understand birth as ‘ibadah: an act of worship.
Through each module, you will learn to detach from dependency on the industrial medical system, to reawaken trust in Allah’s design, and to approach pregnancy and birth as a spiritual path of tazkiyah: purification of the soul.
Every lesson is both intellectual and heart-centered, grounded in the Qur’an and Sunnah upon the understanding of the Salaf, with guidance from the trustworthy, reliable scholars like Ibn Qayyim, Imam Abd ar-Rahman as-Sa’di, Shaykh Al-Albani, Shaykh ibn al-Uthaymeen, Shaykh Fawzan, Shaykh Abd ar-Razzaq al Badr, etc.

What Makes This Course Different?
There are many birth educators out there, but very few teach birth through the lens of the Qur’an and Sunnah with the modesty, spiritual depth, and understanding that Muslim women deserve, not to mention there are NO holistic Salafi-grounded childbirth education programs that support and prepare Muslimahs to give birth at home.
Most childbirth education today just teaches women how to survive a system that was never designed around their fitrah.
They teach you how to negotiate, how to “advocate,” how to breathe through fear, how to avoid the cascade of interventions, and how to reduce the odds of a C-section… all while staying inside the very environment that creates these problems.
The Fitrah Way™️ is the complete opposite.
My method doesn’t teach you how to fight for autonomy in a place that strips you of it.
It teaches you how to return to what Allah already designed inside your body, your deen, and your home.
What The Fitrah Way Actually Is...
The Fitrah Way is a holistic, Islamic method of childbirth education that brings you back to:
Tawheed at the Center of Birth
You aren’t outsourcing your birth to a system.
You aren’t relying on policies, protocols, or “permission.”
You’re returning your trust to Allah, the One who created your womb, your baby, and every contraction that brings your child into the world.
Birth becomes an act of worship—not a medical event.
Birth as an Organic, Intelligent Process
Instead of learning coping mechanisms to survive hospital interference, you learn:
how undisturbed physiology actually works
how the nervous system opens or closes labor
how environment, privacy, safety, and familiarity shape your hormones
why the home is the most protective environment for a Muslim mother
I don’t teach women how to manage a system.
I teach women how to support the natural design of Allah without disruption.
Stepping Out of the Fear-Based Model Entirely
Other courses teach you how to reduce harm inside a system that causes harm.
The Fitrah Way teaches you:
how to get out of the fear–tension–pain cycle
how to build true internal authority
how to dismantle indoctrinated beliefs around birth
how to understand risk from a place of clarity, not panic
how to create an environment where fear cannot take root
My method doesn’t teach you to “advocate.”
It teaches you not to put yourself where advocacy is needed.
Birth Preparation Rooted in Qur’an, Sunnah, and the Way of the Salaf
No western ideologies.
No modern feminist birth rhetoric.
No doula-industry scripts.
No medicalized frameworks dressed up as “holistic.”
The Fitrah Way teaches:sabr (patience)
shukr (gratitude)
tawakkul (trust in Allah)
rifq (gentleness)
husn al-dhann (good expectations of Allah)
the virtue of the home for the Muslim woman
the spiritual transformation of pregnancy and birth
It is an entire worldview—not just a set of tips.
Birth in the Home: Safety, Sanctuary, and Simplicity
I teach that:the home is her sanctuary
the home supports physiology
the home protects modesty, privacy, and dignity
the home aligns with the fitrah of motherhood
I don’t teach how to avoid interventions…
I teach how to avoid environments that rely on interventions.
The Fitrah Way Method is childbirth education built on:Islamic foundations: tawakkul, sabr, shukr
undisturbed birth physiology
instinctive mother-centered wisdom
the nervous system
the spiritual refinement of pregnancy
and the belief that birth belongs in the home
It is the only program that teaches Muslim women how to prepare for childbirth in a way that is truly aligned with their deen, their fitrah, and the natural design Allah created.

بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ
Assalamu’alaykum and welcome.
My name is Fatimah - also known as Sunnah Birth Guide. I am a birth keeper, homebirth doula, childbirth educator, homemaker, and wife. I guide Muslimahs to give birth at home with knowledge, patience, gratitude, and tawakkul.
The home is a virtuous place for the Muslim woman and it truly is her sanctuary. A Muslim woman worships Allah the best in her home, and it is my belief and opinion that birth is not a necessity which requires a woman to leave her home; in fact, it is the opposite; I believe that leaving the home is the first intervention in childbirth that introduces unnecessary risk, while remaining at home supports and protects birth by giving it the beneficial environment to progress and unfold naturally as Allah designed it.
My approach is outlined through my signature Fitrah Way Method. The Fitrah is our innate disposition upon which Allah created us; Tawheed. I believe the true essence of birth preparation is preparing the heart and mind through truly knowing Allah. And this is because the body was already designed perfectly by Allah to give birth; birth is an involuntary act we have no conscious control over, and it is through complete submission and closeness with Allah that we can cultivate true patience and gratitude for the experience.
The Fitrah Way Method aims to preserve the natural physiology of birth by rejecting interference and disturbances to the natural process, and letting it unfold on its own as an act of devotional worship to Allah alone. It involves seeking knowledge, wholesome traditional nutrition, nurturing trust, and cultivating patience, gratitude, and true tawakkul. Tawakkul is one of the greatest acts of worship. Tawakkul is not passive and neither is choosing to birth at home; tawakkul is an active state of the heart which combines taking the useful, beneficial means and trusting and relying solely upon Allah alone to provide for us.

Reviews / Testimonials:
“I joined the Fear & Pain Masterclass and I truly loved it! I am currently in my second pregnancy, now in the last few days, and recently I started to feel some contractions. For a moment, I thought labor was beginning and I suddenly felt a wave of panic.
I had already prepared everything for birth, but at that moment I realized how much I truly needed this masterclass—and it did not disappoint. It helped me regain calmness, and in sha Allah I will enter labor with more tawakkul, trusting Allah’s perfect plan. While much of the content was familiar to me, hearing it explained again so clearly and directly in the context of childbirth was incredibly beneficial.
I wholeheartedly recommend the Fear & Pain Masterclass to every expecting Muslimah. May Allah reward our dear sister abundantly for her valuable and uplifting work. 🤲🏻🌹”

It’s really made me think about birth from an Islamic perspective as everything I’ve been consuming has been very secular, this is extremely needed within the Muslim community and what a blessing that Allah has facilitated you to deliver this much needed topic, I am definitely going to purchase the physiological birth class before I give birth in sha Allah 💕”
