At a time when baby girls were deemed a source of shame, even buried alive, the Prophet came to rectify this grave wrong. Ever since then, everyone knows the value that comes with a female child.

If you have a female child, you so fortunate. The hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessing be upon him) about raising girls are beautiful and amazing. Girl children come with great rewards and blessings. If you offer care, love, support and education to your girl child, Paradise awaits you.

Let's examine some advantages you can experience as a parent of female children as narrated by prophet (S.A.W)

Paradise Awaits You:

1. Narrated Abdullah ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him):

The Prophet (pbuh) said:

If anyone has a female child, and does not bury her alive, or slight her, or prefer his male children to her, Allah will bring him into Paradise (Ahmad, authenticated by Al-Hakim, graded Hasan by Ahmad Shakir)

2.Jabir ibn Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (pbuh) said:

Whoever has three daughters and he accommodates them, show mercy toward them, and supports them, Paradise is definitely guaranteed for him.

3.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 (close to each other) like this –The Messenger of Allah joined his fingers to illustrate closeness.” (Muslim)

Discrimination of female child has become a thing of concern, as it was believed female children are sources of shame all other false beliefs needs to amended not only by religious leaders but a bid needs to be passed Into law, this will promote gender equality and equity of resources and treatment in general. Female child's rights need to be protected.
