| It's been removed. Sis Bismilla -- the only other thing I can think of, if you want something specifically for your daughter, is to find lessons from the Companions. Perhaps you can find some morals or fine life examples from the active women during the Prophet(pbuh)'s time (perhaps one of their recorded sayings?) http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/history/biographies/sahaabah/biographies.html You could also see if your local mosque carries books on women in Islam. (there might be specific verses or hadith referring to daughters???) |

| Assalamu Alaikum The Excellence of Raising Daughters By Yoosuf ibn 'Abdullaah Al-'Areefee The encouragement to seek children covers both sons and daughters, and along with this general encouragement Islam has given special merits to seeking and bringing up girls - contrary to the thinking of the people of ignorance (age of 'Jaahiliyyah') of the past and present, since the people of ignorance - wherever and whenever found - hated (some of them 'still do') to have daughters and were grieved and angered by their births! "And when the news of (the birth of) a female (child) is brought to any of them, his face becomes dark, and he is filled with inward grief! He hides himself from the people because of the evil of that whereof he has been informed. Shall he keep her with dishonor or bury her in the earth? Certainly, evil is their decision." (An-Nahl 16:58-59) But the Messenger of Islam, Muhammad(saw), came elevating the status of this gift given by Allah(swt), welcoming the daughters, and raising high the importance of their upbringing with words to delight the hearts of the believing fathers and bring joy to their souls: "Whoever takes care of two girls until they reach adulthood - he and I will come (together) on the Day of Resurrection - and he interlaced his fingers (meaning in Paradise)." (Reported by Muslim) So can there be any greater honor given to daughter and for those who wish to have them and bring them up properly? And he said in another Hadith: "Whoever has three daughters or sisters, or two daughters or two sisters, and lives along with them in a good manner, and has patience with them, and fears Allah with regard to them will enter Paradise." (Reported by Abu Dawud, Al-Tirmidhee and others) And in another Hadith: "They will be a shield for him from the Fire." (Reported by Ahmad and Ibn Maajah) And along with the Messenger’s(saw) honoring the daughters with his words, we find that he also gave us a living example in his own actions and behavior - for example, "One day he (s.a.w) led his Companions in Prayer whilst carrying Umaamah bint Zaynab(ra) when he made rukoo’ he would put her down, then when he stood, he would pick her up." (Reported by Al-Bukhari and Muslim) So the position of daughters in Islam is very clear and the encouragement that it gives for them, and also the hatred it has for those who hate them or are grieved at their births! We know from this that hatred in some souls toward something - if found - is not a true judgement upon that thing and this is explained in the Qurân, as Allah(swt) says: "…If you dislike them, it may be that you dislike a thing and Allah brings through it a great deal of good." (An-Nisa’ 4:19) So how many righteous women have brought happiness and well-being upon their families and their Ummah!? And how many corrupt young men have brought every form of misfortune and trial upon this Ummah!? Therefore, it is upon the parents who have intellect to accept whatever Allah’s(swt) gift is with full joy and happiness, whether the gift is male or a female. Since its being a male or being a female is due only to Allah’s(swt) order alone - He, the One free from all imperfections - and Most High says: "To Allah belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. He creates what He wills. He bestows female (offspring) upon whom He wills, and bestows male (offspring) upon whom He wills. Or He bestows both males and females, and He renders barren who He wills. Verily, He is the All-Knower and is Able to do all things." (Ash-Shura 42:49-50) |

| Assalaiu alaikum Reward of Provision and Raising Children Dr. Hussein Al-Hussein Raising children is a great mission in this life and should hold a place of high priority. Spending on one's family to cover their essential needs is more rewarding than spending in any other cause. The Prophet (s.a.w.) said: When the human being dies, his/her deeds will come to an end except three kinds: Sadaqah Jariah (continuous charity), beneficial knowledge, and a good child that will pray for him/her. (Muslim). The Prophet (s.a.w.) also said: A dinar (currency unit from gold) you spend in the sake of Allah, a dinar you spend to free a slave, a dinar you donate to the poor, and a dinar you spend on your family, the most rewarding among them is the dinar that you spend on your family. (Muslim). The Prophet (s.a.w.) also said: The best dinar a man spends is a dinar he spends on his family, a dinar he spends on his animal, and a dinar he spends on his companions in the sake of Allah. (Muslim). Whoever offers or loses three or two children in the sake of Allah, they will protect him/her from the Hell fire, as the Prophet (s.a.w.) told us. The Prophet (s.a.w.) said: When three children die for a Muslim the Hell fire will not touch him except for fulfilling the oath. (Muslim). The oath fulfillment refers to the Qur'anic verse that declares that every human being will touch the Hell fire. Allah (s.w.t.) said: There is not one of you but shall approach it (Hell). That is a fixed ordinance from Allah. Then We shall rescue those who kept from evil, and leave the evildoers crouching in it. [Al-Qur'an: Maryam (19:71-72)]. Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri narrated: A woman from Al-Ansar came to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.) and said: "The men have got all your speeches, so, make a day for us on which we come to you to teach us from what Allah taught you." He said: "Meet on such and such day". They met, and he came to them and taught them from what Allah taught him, and then said: "Every woman among you offers (in the sake of Allah) three children they will be protection for her from the Hell fire." A woman asked: "How about two?". The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.) said: "And two". (Al-Bukhari and Muslim). Raising children, especially girls, is very important in Islam. It is a good way to seek more rewards in the hereafter. Many people tend to discriminate between their sons and daughters, and tend to favor the boys. The Prophet (s.a.w.) emphasized the reward of raising daughters and showed that it is a protection from the Hell fire. Imam Al-Bukhari narrated these four Hadiths in his book Al-Adab Al-Mufrad (not to be confused with his famous book of Hadith called Sahih Al-Bukhari): The Prophet (s.a.w.) said: Whoever had three daughters and was patient on raising them, and clothed them from his substance, they would be a protection for him from the Hell fire. The Prophet (s.a.w.) also said: Any Muslim has two daughters, and be a good companion to them, will enter Heaven because of them. Jabir Ibn `Abdillah narrated: The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.) "Whoever has three daughters that he provides a dwelling for, supports, and has mercy on, Heaven is his guaranteed reward." A man asked: "How about two?". The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w.) said: "And two". The Prophet (s.a.w.) said: Whoever has three daughters or three sisters and supports them will enter Heaven. |

| Assalamu Alaikum "The person who is put to a test because of the birth of the daughters and then treats them generously, they will become a means of rescue for him from Hell.” (Bukhari, Muslim) “The one who brought up two girls till they attained their maturity, will appear along with me on the Resurrection Day… Saying this the Holy Prophet joined and raised his fingers.” (Bukhari) “The one who has a daughter born to him and he does not bury her alive, nor keeps her in disgrace, nor prefers his son to her, Allah will admit him to Paradise.” (Abu Da’ud) “The one who has three daughters born to him and, he is patient over them, and clothes them well according to his means, they will become a means of rescue for him from Hell.” (Bukhari, Al-Adab al-Mufrad, Ibn Majah) The Holy Prophet said to Suraqah bin Ju’sham: “May I not tell you about the greatest of charity?” Suraqah replied: "Sure, O Messenger of Allah." The Prophet said: "Supporting your daughter who (after being divorced or widowed) returns to you when she has no one to support her except you." (Ibn Majah, Bukhari: Al-Adab al-Mufrad). |

| Assalamu Alaikum Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "Whoever supports two girls till they attain maturity, he and I will come on the Day of Resurrection like this". Messenger of Allah (PBUH) joined his fingers illustrating this. [Muslim]. `Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: A woman came to me with her two daughters. She asked me (for charity) but she found nothing with me except one date-fruit, so I gave it to her. She accepted it and then divided it between her two daughters and herself ate nothing out of that. She then got up and went out. When Messenger of Allah (PBUH) came in, and I narrated to him the story, he said, "He who is involved (in the responsibility) of (bringing up) daughters, and he is benevolent towards them, they would become protection for him against Hell-fire". [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. `Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported: A poor woman came to me carrying her two daughters. I gave her three date-fruits. She gave a date to each of them and then she took up one date-fruit and brought that to her mouth to eat, but her daughters asked her that also. She then divided between them the date-fruit that she intended to eat. This (kind) treatment of her impressed me and I mentioned that to Messenger of Allah (PBUH) who said, 'Verily, Allah has assured Jannah for her, because of (this act) of her,'' or said, "He (SWT) has rescued her from Hell-Fire". [Muslim]. |
