1. Disregarding daughters is the attitude of the people of Jahiliyyah (pre-Islamic days of ignorance) and it is not the attitude of the people of Islam. 2. What is mentioned in the verses of the Quran describing sons as an adornment is simply stating how people regard them, and it is not a command to do that. 3. The Muslim should show compassion towards his daughters, love them and treat them kindly. 4. With regard to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stating that women form the majority of the people of Hell, that has nothing to do with not loving them or hating to have daughters. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said this to the women of the Companions to urge them to do good, not to condemn them. 5. Allah’s honouring of the sons of Adam includes women too.
