In praise of Allah's blessings
Daughters are a special blessing and gift from Allah. In Islam, nurturing and raising daughters with love, care, and dignity is highly emphasized. The Quran and Hadith repeatedly highlight the importance of treating daughters with kindness and ensuring their rights.
Allah says:
"He bestows daughters upon whom He wills, and bestows sons upon whom He wills. Or He bestows both males and females, and He renders barren whom He wills."
(Surah Ash-Shura: 49-50)
This makes it clear that granting children is Allah's will, and daughters should be seen as a special gift and blessing from Him.
2.In another Hadith, he said:
"Whoever has two daughters and cares for them properly, they will be a shield for him from Hellfire."
(Muslim: 2629)
Daughters should not be seen as a burden but as a blessing from Allah.
It is our responsibility to ensure their proper upbringing, education, and moral development.
Treating them with kindness and granting them equal rights is an essential teaching of Islam.
By considering daughters as a special mercy from Allah and raising them accordingly, one can attain peace and rewards both in this world and the Hereafter.
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) spoke highly about daughters and emphasized their care and respect. He regarded daughters as a great blessing from Allah and gave glad tidings of Paradise to those who take good care of them. Here are some key sayings (hadiths) of the Prophet (peace be upon him) regarding daughters:
2.Daughters as a mercy from Allah
He said:
"Whoever has three daughters or three sisters and takes care of them well and treats them kindly, Allah will grant him entry into Paradise."
(Tirmidhi, Hadith: 1912)
These hadiths illustrate that raising daughters with care and kindness is a virtuous act and a means of attaining Paradise. In Islam, daughters are considered a blessing from Allah, not a burden.
The responsibility of the family and the father towards a daughter is a profound social and cultural matter. It varies across different societies, cultures, and religious contexts. Generally, it can be understood as follows:
Preserving honor and values: Daughters are often seen as responsible for upholding family values and traditions.
Education and self-reliance: It is the father’s responsibility to ensure the daughter receives proper education and becomes self-reliant.
Social guidance: Helping the daughter navigate societal norms and cultural expectations.
In many societies, parents save or allocate property for their daughter’s future.
Providing financial support during marriage is often seen as a father’s responsibility.
A father plays a vital role in building the daughter’s personality and confidence.
Supporting the daughter emotionally and encouraging her to achieve her dreams is essential.
In some societies, daughters are viewed as the "symbol of immortality" for their fathers, as they carry forward values and teachings to the next generation.
It is the family's responsibility to create a positive outlook for the daughter, enabling her to hold her head high in society.
A daughter’s responsibilities should be treated equally to those of a son, focusing on nurturing her, respecting her freedom, and ensuring her rights.
In summary, the responsibility towards a daughter is to raise her to be self-reliant, confident, and capable of making a positive contribution to society. The father’s role is crucial in achieving this.
