Having Daughters: When Females Excel in the Balance of Giving
Society has long viewed women with condescension, as the idea of having children in our communities has been linked to a preference for sons.
With the passage of time and the honest experiences of life, these ideas have begun to lose their appeal in the face of more truthful and realistic notions: that having daughters is not a lack of luck, but rather a blessing and a divine gift worthy of gratitude.
A woman carries in her heart double the love and inexhaustible giving, and for this reason, giving birth to daughters is more beautiful and has a deeper impact than giving birth to sons.
Women play a vital social role:
- Promoting values of compassion and cooperation
- Reducing violence and social disintegration
- Strengthening family ties
- When women are given their right to education, they elevate society morally and intellectually.
As the poet said: “The mother is a school; if you prepare her well, you prepare a nation of noble character.”
Women also play a vital religious role:
- They are the first school to teach their children values and morals.
- The mother is the first school where a child learns the meaning of faith.
- The wife helps her husband obey the Creator.
- A daughter raises her parents' status in Paradise.
- Raising and nurturing daughters earns their parents Paradise.
Thus, women are essential partners in upholding, preserving, and transmitting the faith across generations.
But what is the reason for the inferior view of females and the preference for having sons?
- Masculinity is seen as an extension of strength.
- Some view masculinity as a symbol of physical strength and the ability to earn a living and provide protection.
- There is a misconception that males do not represent a financial burden.
- The male is seen as the continuation of the family and the bearer of the family name.
The preference for males is a social legacy passed down through generations without knowledge of the fair truth.
Society is not based on one gender, but rather it needs both males and females, each complementing the other. The relationship between the two parties must be based on mutual respect and recognition of shared roles. When we raise both well and give them an equal amount of love and opportunities, we contribute to building a cohesive and stable society and elevate our societies towards a more beautiful future.
