Anisa Rahman’s “Do’a Maryam” — The Indonesian Spiritual Song That’s Comforting Mothers Around the World
There are songs that entertain — and then there are songs that heal.
Anisa Rahman’s new single, “Do’a Maryam (Prayer for Expecting Mothers)”, belongs to the second kind.
It’s not just a melody — it’s a prayer, a whisper, and a shelter for every mother carrying life within her.
Produced by Bobby Anugrah and released under Pop Art Music (a sublabel of HP Music Indonesia), the song is making quiet waves across Southeast Asia and beyond — and for good reason.
A Universal Prayer Wrapped in a Timeless Voice
At its core, “Do’a Maryam” retells the sacred lineage of Hanna, Maryam (Mary), and Isa (Jesus) — a story shared across Islam and Christianity.
“Hanna waladat Maryam, wa Maryam waladat ‘Isa...”(Hanna gave birth to Maryam, and Maryam gave birth to Isa.)
That simple verse, repeated like a heartbeat, turns into a spiritual mantra — a calm rhythm that feels both ancient and alive.
It’s as if Gregorian chants met modern Islamic devotion, and the result is something transcendent.
Where Western listeners might turn to Lauren Daigle’s “You Say” for comfort, or Enya for serenity, Anisa Rahman offers something different — a sacred melody that carries centuries of faith, yet feels deeply human and modern.
A Song That Feels Like a Blessing
You don’t need to understand Arabic to feel this song.The repetition, the gentleness of Anisa’s tone, and the purity in her delivery turn “Do’a Maryam” into something beyond language.
It’s the kind of music that could play in a yoga studio, a birthing center, or even a quiet night drive — something that reminds us that creation, birth, and faith are all connected.
It’s not hard to imagine the song appearing on a Spotify “Peaceful Meditation” playlist next to artists like Snatam Kaur or Aurora.That’s how universal the emotion feels.
From Indonesia, With Faith and Heart
What makes “Do’a Maryam” special isn’t just its message — it’s where it comes from.Indonesia, the world’s largest Muslim-majority nation, has a rich tradition of spiritual and pop fusion music — and HP Music has been at the forefront of giving that music a global voice.
Like Def Jam did for hip-hop or Republic Records for pop icons, HP Music champions authenticity, emotion, and identity.
Artists like Anisa Rahman represent a new wave of Indonesian performers who don’t chase trends — they create truth.
Her voice feels raw yet refined, traditional yet cinematic.You can almost imagine her sharing a duet with Maher Zain or performing at a UN Women event celebrating motherhood and resilience.
The Visual Side of “Do’a Maryam”
The Official Music Video — directed by Ahmad Haekal — keeps things simple and reverent.Soft lighting, calm imagery, and Anisa’s graceful presence turn every frame into a visual prayer.
It’s a reminder that spirituality doesn’t have to be loud — sometimes, the softest voices leave the deepest echoes.
Why “Do’a Maryam” Matters
In an age of anxiety and noise, songs like this feel like a reset button for the soul.
They remind us of stillness, gratitude, and the quiet beauty of creation.
Whether you’re a believer or not, “Do’a Maryam” feels like an offering — from one heart to another.
“Hanna melahirkan Maryam, dan Maryam melahirkan Isa.Lahirlah wahai anak, dengan kuasa Allah Ta’ala.”(Hanna gave birth to Maryam, and Maryam gave birth to Isa.Be born, O child, by the will of God Almighty.)
