Provide equal opportunities to sons and daughters
The mother of Maryam (AS), who had pledged her forthcoming baby to the service of Allah in the temple, was faced with a dilemma when she gave birth to a girl ' as only sons were customarily dedicated for such service. However, she decided to fulfil her pledge to Allah, praying to Him to always guide and protect her daughter. Allah graciously accepted young Maryam (AS) for His service, as He states in the Quran, 'So her Lord accepted her with good acceptance and caused her to grow in a good manner.' (3:37) Like Maryam’s (AS) mother, we should provide equal opportunities to our sons and daughters, and apply the same standards while bringing them up.
