Before the advent of Islam, girls were
considered to be a sign of misfortune and they used to be buried alive
as a ritual of the pre-Islamic Arab society. However, Islam removed all
such traditions and regarded girls with the same standard as boys. The
arrival of Islam signified equal rights for girls, as boys. It is
credited to Islam that today, girls are considered to be an element of
respect in the society. Islam is the first religion in the world to have
accepted girls and boys as equal.
In modern times, the western world has
voiced for women rights. They are promoting the freedom of girls but in a
way that is creating restlessness in the society. This freedom that
they are promoting encourages girls towards vulgarity. On the other
hand, Islam gave protection to women’s rights by binding them in
relations like mother, daughter, sister, which becomes a sign of respect
for the society.
In order to create accordance between
girls and boys, Islam has strengthened girls socially. According to
Islamic principles, girls can even qualify for judiciary posts. Though
being a wife, Islam has not prioritized woman over her husband. However,
as a part of the society, because of the following reasons, girls are
considered to be better than boys.
Girls make better mentors. They are
better at bringing up their children. The role of a mother is much more
important than that of father. Even Islam has accepted the supremacy of a
girl in the role of a mother. Girls understand the psyche of kids
better and they know well how to treat a child for the better
development of his character and his capabilities.
Girls actively participate in household
chores. They help their mothers in the best way they can. Girls are
naturally more sensitive. They have a more understanding nature. It is a
common observation that whenever parents are in trouble or are going
through a suffering, a daughter is always there for her parents. She
always tries to share their sorrows and lessen them the most.
In different fields of life, girls and
boys have a different role to play. If girls are more sensitive, boys
are generally stronger. Both sexes have their own strong and weak
points. In today’s progressive world, none of the two lack in any
regard. Certain attributes are particular to boys and certain traits are
restricted to girls. For a complete society, the role play of both
girls and boys is very important in every field of life and it is
impossible to achieve success without the contribution of either boys or
girls. Hence, it is quite a difficult task to decide if girls are
better or boys.
