"Anyone who is blessed with the birth of a girl and does not bury her alive in the manner of the pagan days and does not look down upon her; neither shows preference to the boy over the girl, nor considers the boy in any way superior to the girl, such a man will surely be admitted to Jannah (Paradise) by Allah." -Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) Even still today, cultures throughout the world praise or desire sons over daughters. Some parts of the world continue the practice of murdering their daughters because of the perceived burden of a girl. This saying of the Prophet (pbuh) shows the believers the blessing of having and raising daughters. Having a boy is a blessing as well, but the point of this saying to was to inform the believers that preferential treatment of sons over daughters was a pagan practice to left alone.
