JAKARTA - Happy news is surrounding the family of Habib Usman bin Yahya and Kartika Putri. The couple is preparing to welcome the birth of their sixth baby which is expected to be born in the near future.

Habib Usman revealed that the wife's estimated birthday (HPL) fell between December 10 and 12. He also asked for prayers from the community so that the delivery process could run smoothly.

"The contraction started 3-4 days ago, it has been a contraction for one week," said Habib Usman in the South Jakarta area, recently.

After previously having two daughters with Kartika Putri, this time they will welcome a son. The presence of the son will complement their extended family who already have three sons and two daughters.

The name for the baby has also been prepared meaningfully since long ago. "Alhamdulillah, now Muhammad Ali," he said with a serial face.

He joked that even though his name was like a legendary boxer, the baby already showed "strengthenity" in the stomach. "Not boxer, not boxer, but already fierce like a boxer. So kick to the right, left, everything down," he said.

The choice of this name turned out to have been planned for a long time. This couple intends that if they are blessed with a son, they will be named Ali, and if the woman will be named Fatimah.

Confidence in the sex of the baby has been obtained since the age of four months of pregnancy. This is known through the results of the NIPT (Non-Invasive Prenatal Testing) test, which has very high accuracy.

In accordance with the tradition in his family, the first name "Muhammad" is pinned as a form of respect and prayer. "All of our sons in front of Muhammad. And the sunnah has a son who gives his name Muhammad," he explained.

Regarding the number of children, Habib Usman admitted that he had a target of seven children, while Kartika Putri wanted eleven. However, he left everything to God's will while continuing to be grateful.
