Islam Encourages More Affection Towards the Daughter!
Submitted by ShiaSisters.net

Islamic literature encourages more affection to be given toward the daughter than the son. Allah instructs parents to offer more attention to their daughters by way of example. For instance, when parents leave on a trip, the last one they should say good-bye to is their daughter, and, upon their return home, she should be the first one to be greeted.This is what the Prophet did to his own daughter, Fatima. Whenever she walked into the room the Prophet used to stand up, kiss her, and offer her his seat. He would invite her to eat meals with him. Whenever the Prophet returned home from a trip, he would stop at his daughter’s home before going to see his wives.

Sayings about Daughters:
The best of your children are your daughters.

The sign of a lucky woman is that her first child is a girl.

First, he should give to his daughters then to his sons. Whoever keeps his daughter happy will get a reward equal to the one who has freed a slave from the progeny of Prophet Ishmael.

Whoever brings up faithful daughters, educates them, disciplines them, and marries them will be rewarded Paradise.
