Fathers
Salaam
My dad’s been away for the last three weeks. He came home yesterday….and only when he walked through the door I realised I REALLY missed him.
This thread will be a sort of fathers appreciation thread (linking in with the last “mother’s appreciation” thread).
Anyone can be a father…but it takes a special kind of guy to be a daddy.
In my house, my brother doesn’t really have that much of a good relationship with dad…he’s closer to mum. That’s because my dad has a tight leash on him. Dad happens to be closer to his daughters.
I never used to be close to dad as a child/teenager…my perception of him changed as I grew older and so did he.
And for some reason…overall people don’t have that much of a good relationship with their father as they do with their mother. How come?
And how come men change in their old age? Isn’t it correct to say that they become a LOT more soft and sweet?
To be a protector/ maintainer and be responsible for everyone under your roof can NOT be an easy task I’m sure….
Hadrat Fatima (ra) relationship with her beloved father ﷺ is so incredibly touching….feel free to post up any incidences from their lives.
What’s so great about YOUR dad? What does Islam say about fathers? If you’re a guy would you like to be like your dad when you become a father?
What makes a good dad? What’s YOUR relationship like with your father? Is your dad closer to his daughters then his sons (or vice versa)?
Share your thoughts…

Whenever Hadra Aisha (ra) was asked “who does the Holy Prophet ﷺ love the best?’, Hadrat Aisha (ra) would say “‘His daughter Hadrat Fatima (raa)’.
Holy Prophet ﷺ has also said ‘Fatimah is my flesh whoever hurts her has hurt me, and whatever pleases her pleases me’.
Whenever the Holy Prophet ﷺ returned from a journey, he used to visit his daughter, Hadrat Fatimah (raa) first.
It was the custom of that time for people, out of love or affection for each other to say ‘May my family sacrifice their life for you’. Hadrat Umar Farooq (ra) said that he heard the Holy Prophet ﷺ say to his beloved daughter Hadrat Fatima (ra) ‘May your father sacrifice his life for you’.
Hadrat Fatimah (raa) was the most doted beloved daughter of the Holy Prophet (saw). She was the apple of His eyes. However she was worthy of this love and did not take any worldly profit out of this honour.
On a side note does anyone's dad still baby their grown up daughters?
