Dear Islamic brothers! We have just learnt from these blessed Hadith that being kind and gracious to daughters, and making them happy, is a beautiful Sunnah of the Messenger of Allah صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَاٰلِهٖ وَسَلَّم. Keeping this in mind, parents should not be sad when girls are born, nor consider them a means of shame. They should ignore any taunts from family members, and show utmost love and kindness to their daughters. Also, they should respect the permissible wishes of their daughters, and keep them happy as much as possible. Make a sincere effort to ensure their education and upbringing is carried out in the best way possible, and keep in mind the great reward reserved in the Hereafter if you do so.

Encouragement for Pious Deed number 17

اَلْـحَمْـدُ لـِلّٰـه, Dawat-e-Islami is continuing its efforts to highlight the significance of daughters and the importance of fulfilling their rights. You should also affiliate yourself with this religious environment, and wholeheartedly take part in the 12 religious works.

From these 12 religious works, there is one religious work which is to fill in the ‘Pious Deeds’ booklet. From among the Pious Deeds prescribed by Shaykh-e-Tareeqat, the Ameer of Ahl al-Sunnah
دَامَـتْ بَـرَكَـاتُـهُـمُ الْـعَـالِـيَـهْ, one is Pious Deed number 17, which says: “Today, did you speak politely at home and outside with every young and elderly person?”

If you wish to become punctual in performing good deeds, and want to get rid of sinful habits, start filling in the Pious Deeds booklet. Gradually, you will find yourself performing many good deeds.

صَلُّوۡا عَلَى الۡحَبِيۡب                                                                 صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مُحَمَّد
