By a qualified Muslim Midwife…

A circumcision, known as khitan in Islamic tradition, holds profound spiritual and cultural significance. It connects back to the time of Prophet Ibrahim (Abraham), peace be upon him, when Allah commanded him to establish the covenant of circumcision as a sign of devotion and purity.

In our practice, the khitan ceremony is not merely a procedure but a sacred ritual that marks a boy's entry into Islam and affirms his identity within the Muslim community. As a midwife, I am honored to assist families in this important journey. From the initial consultation with parents to ensure the baby's well-being aligns with Islamic traditions, to performing the khitan itself with utmost care and adherence to cleanliness, each step is approached with reverence and professionalism.

During the khitan, I strive to create an environment of comfort and support for the family. I explain the significance of the ritual, ensuring everyone present understands its spiritual importance. Family members often participate, further enriching the experience with their presence and prayers.

Afterward, I provide comprehensive guidance on post-care, ensuring parents are informed about the healing process and remain supported throughout. My commitment extends beyond the ceremony; I am always available to answer any questions or concerns that arise in the days following the khitan.

Through this sacred tradition, families express their faith and strengthen their bonds with Allah. It is a privilege to witness and facilitate this beautiful journey of faith and tradition for Muslim families, ensuring the khitan ceremony is a cherished and meaningful experience for all involved.
