The Blessing of Daughters. Daughter is the most beautiful flower of your garden because they blossom with great blessing and as a reward in the life of parents. Daughters are real love and heart warmer. They are the most precious and beautiful gift of Allah. In pre-Islamic times, when people heard that a woman had given birth to a daughter, their faces would turn dark with grief (as described in Surah An-Nahl 16:58). Islam ended this attitude. See also our posts on Islamic quotes about love and kindness. Islam promises of a higher rank in Jannah for a father who take cares of two daughters with patience. The father-daughter bond between Muhammad (PBUH) and Fatimah (RA) is among the most beautiful examples in history. The Prophet (PBUH) said:
Fatima is a part of me, so whoever angers her has angered me. (Bukhari and Muslim)
This shows the great love and affection for his daughters, and we can realize how much daughters were loved by our Prophet PBUH. After all He was a father of four daughters. The Prophet PBUH promised a great reward, even closeness to him in Paradise, for the one who raises daughters with patience and kindness. So everyone should wish to have a daughter in their life. We have quoted some Islamic sayings and quotes about daughters.
For Allah only is the kingship of the heavens and the earth; He creates whatever He wills; He may bestow daughters to whomever He wills, and sons to whomever He wills. Or may mix them, the sons and daughters; and may make barren whomever He wills; indeed He is All Knowing, Able.” (Surah al-Shoora, Verses 49-50)

Muslim Quotes About Daughter
Daughters are a gift from Almighty Allah. Those parents who are kind towards them, then Almighty Allah is generous towards such parents. Those who are merciful to their daughters, Almighty Allah is Merciful towards them.
When Imam Ahmad Ibn Hanbal (Radi Allahu Ta’ala Anhu) would hear that one of his relatives or friends had a baby girl, he would reportedly say to them, “Congratulations, for the Prophets were mostly fathers of daughters.”
Girls are a source of reward and sons are a blessing; rewards are in one’s favour (on the Day of Judgement) whereas one will be held accountable for blessings.
