1. QUR’AN AND HADITH

1. Qur’an and Hadith ~ 21 ~ One who brings up three daughters, teaches them good manners and morals, arranges their marriages and treats them with fairness, deserves to be ushered into Paradise.24 If a man to whom a girl is born neither buries her alive, humiliates Her, nor gives his sons preference over her, he will be allowed to enter heaven by God, as a reward.25 Shall I not tell you what the best object of your charity is? It is your own daughter who has returned to you as a widow, or a divorcee, and who has no one to earn for her except you. 26 (That is, to spend on a daughter in need is the best form of charity.) When a man is tested through his daughters by God, and he treats them well, his actions will guard him form hellfire,27 17. At-Tirmidhi, Sahih, Abwab at-Tafsir, 11/238. 18.
