Bringing Up of Daughters

Daughters in Muslim society are cared from the very beginning. They are treated as a gift and blessing of God and it is parents’ responsibility to raise her with chaste and get her educated and married with right person. She should be given knowledge of Islam (as much as possible) along with the education of present society. They are raised with special care of her modesty; even she is never seen naked in her infancy and childhood by her father or brothers. She is well clothed (not exposing her body parts figures expressly) when she is getting adult. Also getting her known the requirement of a girl respect, safety and keeping away from non-mahram men till married.

Parents have great responsibility and reward for upbringing children.

"O ye who believe! Save yourselves and your families from a Fire whose fuel is Men and Stones." (Surah At-Tahreem, 66:6)

The pious and good children will be left over from them who will pray Allah for them after their death.

Allah's Messenger, (Peace be upon him) said: "Upon death, man's deeds will (definitely) stop except for three deeds, namely: a continuous charitable fund, endowment or goodwill; knowledge left for people to benefit from; and pious righteous and God-fearing child who continuously prays Allah, the Almighty, for the soul of his parents."  (Reported by Muslim)

There is very high reward for girls’ upbringing and getting them married.

“One who trains and educates 3 or 2 daughters or sisters out of fear of Allah, will go to Paradise (even if the number is one).”

“Bringing up of daughters is a test; one who passes the test will be safe from Hell.”

So, parents are given good news of getting heaven in reward for upbringing girls and getting them married. Can you imagine such reward in western thinking? No, not at all, because over there girls are exposed to whatever they like, especially no care of their modesty and virginity.
