Reading the Kidung Sahabat Nabi is
believed to have many benefits. It can
neutralize base lusts, bad intentions,
and can help to cure mental and

Jabang Bayi is used to keep a baby from
being disturbed by ghosts, worm
diseases and to inspire hope that the
baby may become a useful person for its
country and religion.
