Trust Your Upbringing, Trust Allah

Parenting is not about micromanaging adult lives. It is about planting seeds, then trusting them to grow. Overcontrol signals lack of trust in your own values, in your daughter, and ultimately, in Allah.

Islam emphasises tawakkul; reliance on Allah after sincere effort. When you teach, guide, and instil principles, your job is done. Let the daughter navigate her relationships. Let her make choices, even mistakes. Every step is part of her spiritual and emotional growth.

Interfering constantly leads to emotional dependence masked as rebellion, fear disguised as obedience, and distance replacing closeness.

A daughter needs her parents as a foundation, not as jailers. If she fears judgement in her own home, she learns to protect herself elsewhere, perhaps too late.

Faith in upbringing, combined with reliance on Allah, transforms fear into freedom. The greatest gift parents can give is trust, not control.
