How Mothers Play a Part in Raising Daughters Who Become Feminists
Mothers, are the ones who guide their daughters and set the example of how to be a woman. They play a major role in raising the future generation of spouses and parents. It’s an important obligation that mothers must acknowledge and aim to fulfill for the sake of Allah SWT.
Dear fellow mothers, let’s not misguide our daughters in any way. We need to teach them to be good women, wives, and moms.
Dear daughters, study your deen to gain beneficial knowledge if you did not learn this from your parents.
And to those who think, “What about fathers?” Well, they don’t know the impact mothers have on their children’s upbringing or the example mothers set for their daughters. A father’s role is crucial in their children’s upbringing as well, but in a different way. Mothers usually spend the most time with their children and are at the forefront of child-rearing.

When mothers demand that their daughters study for a high career, and marry up so they can boast pridefully to family and friends.
When mothers are too cultural and place greater emphasis on their daughters following traditions over their Islamic responsibilities,
This post is not meant to insult the efforts of mothers. But the sad reality is that the points mentioned, are happening far too often. I've mentored countless young women who've been raised by controlling mothers who sabotage their daughters' futures and steer them towards duniya instead of akhira goals.
Mothers impact society immensely!
