Father is central to the emotional well-being of their children and considered to be the backbone of family. He is capable caretaker, disciplinarian and help in developing right type of career of the children.
Father has greatest kind of affection, contributing greatly in cognition, language and social development, as well as academic achievement.
Prophet Mohammad SAW role model to whole Umma has taught Islamic principles through which father has to treat affectionately to his children especially to daughters. He treated them with the love and compassion and drew their attention towards their status in Islam.
Daughters are a gift from Almighty Allah. Those parents who are kind towards them, then Almighty Allah is generous towards such parents. Those who are merciful to their daughters, Almighty Allah are Merciful towards them.
But before few days this holy relationship and trust breached by a father in district Banidipora.
When he has been raping his 27 year old daughter continuously from few years , and the crime came to the surface through police when her younger sister exposed all the alleged act done by father. On narrating the ordeal it has came to know that one of her uncles used to sexually assault his daughter and thus victim' s father followed the suit and experimented on her daughter.
This is morally a beastly act done by someone to his daughter, this crime has worst kind of place in all crimes and in Islam it has defamed all the respect and love of all the daughters.
When Islam was revealed, it decreed a daughter – like a son – was a gift from Allah, to be granted to whomever Allah wishes of His worshipers:“For Allah only is the kingship of the heavens and the earth; He creates whatever He wills; He may bestow daughters to whomever He wills, and sons to whomever He wills. Or may mix them, the sons and daughters; and may make barren whomever He wills; indeed He is All Knowing, Able.” [Surah al-Shoora, Verses 49-50]
But it is a dishearten picture for daughters that they have been targetted sexually and assaulted in every corner of society. Once they are born from mother a grievous kind of wave blows in the whole family and lamenting on this kind of blessing.
The Prophet (blessings and peace be upon him) of Islam made Paradise the recompense of every father who conducts himself well with his daughters, has patience in raising them, provides their moral education, and observes Allah’s commands concerning them until they come of age or until his . The Prophet (blessings and peace be upon him) made the place of the father in Paradise next to him. Hadrat Anas reported that the Messenger of Allah SallAllahu Alaihi wa Sallam said,
“Whoever brings up two girls till they reach the age of puberty, he and I will come on the Day of Resurrection like this,” (and he joined his blessed fingers.)
The beloved Prophet (Peace and Blessings of Allah be Upon Him) has stated that “When a boy is born, then he brings one Noor (light) and when a girl is born, then she brings two Noors.”
It has been narrated in a Hadith that the Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of Allah be Upon Him) has stated that
“If parents are kind and generous towards their daughters, then they will be so close to Him (The Holy Prophet Peace and Blessings of Allah be Upon Him) in Jannah, like one finger is to the next.”
The Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of Allah be Upon Him) has also stated that
“The person who is faced with hardship due to his daughters, and makes Sabr (is patient), then his daughters will be a Pardah (curtain) between him and the Hell-fire.
Daughters are without doubt a great blessing from Almighty Allah. They are a means of salvation and a path to Jannah (Heaven) for their parents. The crux of one narration states that “One who loves his daughters and withstands the hardship of grooming and getting them married, Almighty Allah makes Jannah compulsory (Waajib) on him and keeps him protected from the Fire of Hell.”
And in another Hadith, the beloved Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi wa Sallam said:
“They will be a shield for him from the Fire.”
With these references from Quran and Hadith, the birth of girls is not at all a fearful burden nor is it a bad omen. On the contrary, it is a blessing to be thanked for and a mercy to be desired and this kind of blessing must be embraced from everyone.
So all parents should take it serious as daughters have only shelter that is their fathers if they try to destroy their daughters safety and home themselves then who could be real ,moral and modest safeguard for our daughters.
