Is the saying, "Girls have abundant provision," when one is blessed with a daughter, for consolation, or does it have a Shariah-based proof?
In the pre-Islamic era of Jahiliyyah, people abhorred daughters and believed they were a cause of constricted sustenance. Islam came to invalidate this belief. The indicates that females are a gift from Allah and prioritized them over males in the Quran. Whoever is blessed with daughters has been granted abundant good, so let him praise Allah and be content with His decree. Sustenance is broader than many people imagine; it includes the good and honor Allah bestows upon His servant in the Hereafter. Excellent upbringing and care for daughters necessitate great reward and abundant recompense, which is a vast form of sustenance in its broader sense. Many prophetic traditions have been reported, clarifying the virtue of raising and caring for daughters, and that this is a cause for entering Paradise and salvation from the Fire.
