Hi Hana, this was an awesome read. I clicked reluctantly thinking I was going to get some old advice unrelated to our reality. No so. I have a 14yr old and its right on. Thanks.

Assalamu alaikum, I could not stop smiling when reading this article. It moves me when a man is proud of having a daughter. Allah swt tested my family with a great tragedy, which is ultimately a blessing in disguise because now I am ever close to my dad. Before the tragedy, we were blessed with abundant wealth and nobody had time for each other. Dad was always busy, almost never there for mom or for us. He was on his devices most of the time and spent more time with friends. Now, due to the tragedy, he was forced to be separated from us. He lives far away from us, and that changed him completely. Now he does his best to let us know how much he loves us, believes in us, and always wants to hear from us. SubhanAllah.

I certainly gained more respect from him after he got closer to us, and this also helps my modesty. When a young woman knows how proud she makes her dad, she does not seek attention from other men. She is confident and knows her value. Any man who would want to marry her will respect her and respect her father as well. I speak from experience. 🙂 Salaam

I’ve two cute baby girl. Always me and my elder baby girl used to go to mosque in Jumua. But many of Muslim discouraged me to go to mosque with baby girl. They told me that it spread fitna etc etc. Its’ heart me. Though, me and my baby girl not to stopped to go to mosque.
Many of poor beggars wait for some help at the time of Jumua prayer. We try to help them as our ability. One day my six (06) years old baby told me to prepare a free school for the poor beggars who did not have enough money to get minimum education. I do feel very proud of my baby who are keenly interested to do this. She is saving daily from her pocket money to do something for the underprivileged children. Make doa for my baby girl so that Almighty Allah SWT make her intention possible and give a solution for Fitna who told the baby girl not to enter in mosque.

Daughters become mothers
My dear mother, bless her soul
100 soon to be her birthday
Drawn to prayer with thanksgiving
Held my granddaughter in my arms
My son as proud father
My wife as proud grandmother

In addition to the second point, the foundation of a woman’s self esteem and worth is set by her father.
When a father believes in his daughter and she knows, then it will be very difficult for any man to lead her astray except if Allah (S W.T) wills.
