Question

I would like to know which surah/dua I can read to pray to Allah for a healthy baby girl.

Answer

There is no specific surah/ dua we can refer from the ahadeeth to be read for Allah Ta’ala to grant a baby girl. However, the following dua can be read in order to ask Allah Ta’ala to bestow upon you an obedient and pious child: "Rabbana hab lana min azwajina wa dhuriyyatina qurrata A'yunin waj'alna lil-muttaqina imama." "Our Lord! grant us in our spouses and offspring the joy of our eyes and make us heads of the God-fearing." (Surah 25: Ayah74) You should leave the matter of baby boy and baby girl to Allah, whatever will be granted by Him will be better, inshaAllah. [Editor’s note: Salat-ul Hajat http://islameasy.org/Dua_Hajat.php ]

And Allah knows best.
