Daughters in Islam

The Prophet (Peace be upon him) said,

"Any Muslim who has two daughters and has been good to them as long as he accompanied them, they will cause him to enter paradise,"

Also, he (Peace be upon him) said,

"Whoever had three daughters, three sisters, two daughters, or two sisters and disciplined them and had been good to them, he will enter Paradise.”

Anyone who has a heart that feels and a mind that understands will realize fully the significance of the Prophet's weighty words, which ask us to look after daughters in accordance with Allah's orders and injunctions.

Allah has created mankind, both males and females, and assigned for each sex a suitable position and function in the human society. Allah, Most High, says,

“The nature on which Allah has made mankind: no change (there is) in the work (wrought) by Allah: that is the true Religion: but most among mankind know not.” (Surah Ar-Rum: 30)

The need of one sex for the other and the mutual inclination between them are from nature, Allah, the Almighty, says,

“Fair in the eyes of men is the love of things they covet: women and sons; heaped-up hoards of gold and silver.” (Surah Al-‘Imran: 14)

This mutual inclination or liking, if not controlled, can lead to the ruin of the society. The Messenger (Peace be upon him) said,

“I have not left behind a trial which is harder on men than (the trial of) women. Assuredly, the first cause of the destruction of the Children of Israel was women.”

My sister in Islam! You are the pure womb which will carry the coming baby whom Allah wants to protect along with the lineage of all human beings. So that He has surrounded you, in particular, with the gentle boundaries of His Rules.
