Does reciting Surat al-Zalzalah facilitate the process of childbirth?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good. Is it true that I heard that reciting Surat al-Zalzalah causes the placenta to be delivered, knowing that the Qur'an heals and does not harm? And does its recitation assist in the process of delivery?

Answer:
I do not know of anything specific in that regard, but reciting the Qur'an is a healing, as Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) said:
And We send down of the Qur'an that which is healing and mercy for the believersوَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ مَا هُوَ شِفَاءٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
[Al-Isra 17:82]
So if one recites something from the Qur'an, and especially al-Fatihah, it is a ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation), as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said. Reciting the Qur'an is a healing, provided it is done with a good intention and correct belief. It is a healing for physical ailments and spiritual ailments, diseases of the body and diseases of the heart, doubts, suspicions, whispers, shirk (associating partners with Allah), and other sins. The Qur'an is a healing by which Allah heals bodies and hearts from physical and spiritual ailments, whether in childbirth or otherwise, for whoever recites the Qur'an with a good intention and presence of heart. In it is healing, as Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) said:
And We send down of the Qur'an that which is healing and mercyوَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ مَا هُوَ شِفَاءٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ
[Al-Isra 17:82]
Yes.
