The Prophets were Fathers of Daughters
– Ibnul-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah رحمه الله
💎💎💎💎
Ibnul-Qayyim al-Jawziyyah رحمه الله [751 AH] said; “Allah ﷻ has revealed in regards to the right of women
فَإِنْ كَرِهْتُمُوهُنَّ فَعَسَى أَنْ تَكْرَهُوا شَيْئًا وَيَجْعَلُ اللهُ فِيهِ خَيْرًا كَثِيراً “If you dislike them, it may be that you dislike a thing and Allah brings through it a great deal of good.” [Surah an-Nisā 4:19]
And just like daughters, a person may find much good in them in this life and the next. It is quite repulsive that a man should hate that which pleases Allah ﷻ, and to hate a blessing that is bestowed upon him. It was mentioned that Ṣāliḥ ibn Aḥmad said; ‘Whenever my father [Imām Aḥmad] had a daughter born to him, he would say: the Prophets were the fathers of daughters, and in regarding the daughters there has come [in the narrations a reward] that is known.’ Yaʿqūb ibn Bukhtān said; ‘Seven daughters were born to me, and every time I had a daughter born to me I would go to Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal and he would say to me; ‘Yaʿqūb! The Prophets were fathers of daughters..’ and his speech would do away with my worry.'”

Uqbah ibn Aamir narrated, I heard the Messenger of Allah (pbuh) say:
“Whoever has three daughters and is patient towards them, and feeds them, gives them to drink, and clothes them from his wealth; they will be a shield for him from the Fire on the Day of Resurrection.” (Authenticated by Al-Albani)

The lack of masculine men is toxic. Society is now filled with emasculated fools simping over immodest feminists who they have themselves empowered. The secular education system and government owned scholars (in the churches and mosques) have further contributed to the destruction and eradication of the traditional family.

"A Mother Can Take Care Of TEN Children But Sometimes TEN Children Can't Take Care of ONE Mother"

Treat Your parents right or else...
Sh. Muqbil رحمه الله said:
“It is possible that a supplication from the parents may destroy a man and ruin his Dunyā and also his Ākhirah due to a Duʿā made against him by his mother or his father.”

All this teenage romance that you see in colleges/universities, perhaps stems from mommy/dady issues at home ... the unmet emotional needs at home pull them closer outside ... and then more heart breaks follow ... as you can't quench your thirst with a bread ... so on so forth ....

Imam Ibn al-Qayyim quotes a beautiful saying:
لا تكرهوا أولادكم على آثاركم فإنهم مخلوقون لزمان غير زمانكم
‘Don’t force your traditions upon your children, because they were created for a different era than you.’
[‘Ighathatu al-Lahfan‘, 2/265].

When Imam Bukhari was 3 years of age, he lost his eyesight.
His mother promised herself that she would pray #tahajjud salah until Allah restores her son's eyesight back.
And that's exactly what she did. She prayed tahajjud every night until one night in a dream she saw Ibrahim (as) give her the good news that Imam Bukhari's eyesight had been restored. She ran to her son and when he awoke, he found himself with vision again.
Lessons for me: This mother didn't go into a state of helplessness after her young child lost his eyesight. Being a single mother, she didn't lose hope and become disheartened with the difficulty she would have to face with bringing up a son with a disability. She knew very well the power of dua. She knew the beauty that lies in praying tahajjud salah. She knew Allah comes down to the lowest heaven asking his servants to make dua to Him at this time. Her taqwa, her conviction in the Might of Allah is what led her to consistently pray. To pray tahajjud salah means you sacrifice your sleep. But she did it without fail. It wasn't a "sacrifice" on her behalf but a most needed task.
When we read about the life of Imam Bukhari or know what his contribution to Islamic history and education is, how can we not look back at the household he grew up in. The mother that raised him. The mother that made dua for him in the darkness of the night.
A widow, a single mother. But she had a wealth many of us fail to embrace. She devoted herself as a slave.
These women are our role models. These women are who we look up to. Not because we know how pretty or amazing they were in looks. But because in the face of tests, they remained close to Allah. With a history filled with women who brought up men like Imam Bukhari and others, how can we feel demotivated when it comes to our own children.
If we want good for our children, and see them grow up to be good slaves, we need to take the necessary steps to become a good slave too.
This reminder about this mother's dua came at such a perfect and apt time for me. A time when I've become extremely worried about my children. This reminded me that dua is no small thing.

*❤ Parents expectation from their child?*
____
*Mother:*
I fought with death when I was giving birth to you. I spent sleepless nights when you were sick and crying. I never ate without feeding you first. I bore so many pains to bring you to the stage that you are in today. _How will you repay me my child_?
*Child:*
When I grow up, I will find a good job and earn lots of money for you so you can enjoy the pleasures of this world.
*Mother:*
Your father is doing this already and I do not expect this from you too. By the time you are earning I will be old and will not be in need of any worldly luxuries.
*Son:*
I will find a pious lady and marry her so she can cook for you and take care of you.
*Mother:*
That is not her duty my son and neither should you marry for that reason. It is not compulsory on her to do any service to me, neither do I expect this from her. Your marriage should be for you, a companion and a comfort for you as you go through this journey of life.
*Child:*
Tell me mother how can I repay you then?
*Mother:*
(With tears in her eyes) Visit or call me often. A mother only requires this much from you while she is alive.
Then when I die give me your shoulder and bury me.
Whenever you perform prayers, supplicate for me.
Give out in charity for me.
Remember your every good deed will benefit me in the hereafter so be good and kind always.
Fulfill the rights of all those around you.
_The sleepless nights and pains I took to bring you up was not a favour to you but was for my creator. He blessed me with you as a beautiful gift and as a means for me to attain His pleasure. Your every good deed becomes my repayment._
Will you do it my child...?
*Child*: (Cannot speak and had tears in his eyes)
_Beautiful message for all the amazing Mothers out there._

One of the signs that a parent loves his child is that he makes sure that his child is getting proper education. So, he enrolls him in school/college, pays for his tuition fees, and provides for him with every amenity to make his life easier. But what does the son do? He squanders, wastes precious time and resources, and misses out on the opportunities that he received to excel in life.
And to Allaah belongs the highest examples.
The sign that Allaah loves us and cares for us is that He تعالى guided us towards Islaam, and He تعالى provided all the good things, like Salaah, Zakaah, Siyaam, Hajj, for our benefit in this life.
Now, it is up to us to use this opportunity and be successful in this world by being obedient to Him and worshiping Him alone, so that we get to the Jannah, or we squander this opportunity and suffer miserably in Hell.
🌴🌴🌴
Remember, if we fail, we still get opportunities in life to make amends. But when death approaches, then all the opportunities are gone. That is a regret that will not benefit. And when they see the suffering that awaits them, they will all be unable to express the full depth of their remorse. Rather, the people of Hell will try to conceal their regrets from each other.
Allaah تعالى says:
وَأَسَرُّوا النَّدَامَةَ لَمَّا رَأَوُا الْعَذَابَ
{And each of them will conceal their own regrets (for disobeying Allaah during this worldly life)}
📚[Surah Saba (34):33]
