What does the Qur'an say about favouring sons over daughters?

Key findingsEditorial

One finding for each passage this study carries, in the order the study reads them. Each is the reason that passage was signed into the study, in full and unedited - including, where the renderings disagree, the disagreement.

  1. 01 16:58–59 WHEN IF ONE OF THEM RECEIVETH TIDINGS OF THE BIRTH OF A FEMALE, HIS FACE REMAINETH DARKENED, AND HE IS WROTH INWARDLY. HE HIDETH HIMSELF FROM THE FOLK BECAUSE OF THE EVIL OF THAT WHEREOF HE HATH HAD TIDINGS, ASKING HIMSELF: SHALL HE KEEP IT IN CONTEMPT, OR BURY IT BENEATH THE DUST? VERILY EVIL IS THEIR JUDGMENT. In as ONE PASSAGE because it is the fullest description of the attitude anywhere in the text - the face, the concealment, the deliberation - and 16:59 ends with the verdict.
  2. 02 43:15–19 And they allot to Him a portion of His bondmen... OR CHOOSETH HE DAUGHTERS OF ALL THAT HE HATH CREATED, AND HONOURETH HE YOU WITH SONS? AND IF ONE OF THEM HATH TIDINGS OF THAT WHICH HE LIKENETH TO THE BENEFICENT ONE, HIS FACE REMAINETH DARKENED AND HE IS WROTH INWARDLY. In as ONE PASSAGE because the argument is that they assign to God the very thing they are ashamed of, which is the sharpest form of the rebuke.
  3. 03 52:39 OR HATH HE DAUGHTERS WHEREAS YE HAVE SONS? In because it is the same argument in six words.
  4. 04 42:49–50 He createth what He will. HE BESTOWETH FEMALE UPON WHOM HE WILL, AND BESTOWETH MALE UPON WHOM HE WILL; or He mingleth them, males and females, and He maketh barren whom He will. In as ONE PASSAGE because it names female FIRST, treats both as bestowals, and closes the question of whose doing it is.
  5. 05 81:8–9 AND WHEN THE GIRL-CHILD THAT WAS BURIED ALIVE IS ASKED FOR WHAT SIN SHE WAS SLAIN. In as ONE PASSAGE because the question at the Judgment is put TO HER, not to the killers, and because the phrasing assumes there was no sin. ALSO CARRIED by What does the Qur'an say about the killing of infant girls?, with a different reason there.
In plain wordsEditorial written by the editors, not a translation

Written by the editors. Not a translation, and not a source. It is an editorial restatement of the verses in this study and carries their name because someone has to answer for it.

The Qur'an describes this attitude with more psychological detail than it gives to almost any other social fault, and then argues against it in an unexpected way.

16:58-59 is the description. On hearing of a daughter's birth: HIS FACE REMAINETH DARKENED, AND HE IS WROTH INWARDLY. He HIDETH HIMSELF FROM THE FOLK because of the evil tidings. And then the deliberation, quoted: SHALL HE KEEP IT IN CONTEMPT, OR BURY IT BENEATH THE DUST? The verse follows a man through humiliation to a calculation about a child's life, and ends: EVIL IS THEIR JUDGMENT.

The argument the Qur'an makes against it is not a defence of daughters. It is an exposure of inconsistency.

43:16 and 52:39 both point out that these same people attributed daughters to God: OR CHOOSETH HE DAUGHTERS OF ALL THAT HE HATH CREATED, AND HONOURETH HE YOU WITH SONS? They assigned to God the thing they were ashamed to have. 43:17 then repeats the darkened face - this time about a man hearing of the birth of what he has just likened to God.

42:49 settles whose doing it is, and its word order is deliberate: HE BESTOWETH FEMALE UPON WHOM HE WILL, AND BESTOWETH MALE UPON WHOM HE WILL. Female first, both called a bestowal, and barrenness named in the same breath as a third possibility.

And 81:8-9 is the verse that ends the argument. At the Judgment, THE GIRL-CHILD THAT WAS BURIED ALIVE IS ASKED FOR WHAT SIN SHE WAS SLAIN. The question is put to the victim, and its form presumes the answer: none.

not a scholar — what this signature means

I am not a scholar, and nothing here asks you to treat me as one. The plain words on this site are my restatement of what the five translations shown above say, together with counts derived from the text itself — nothing more. I sign them so that a named person is accountable for every sentence, not so you'll take my word for anything. The authority on this page is the text and its translators. If my words don't match theirs, mine are the ones that are wrong.

Scope of this study

This platform shows the verse, its easy-read line, its translations, a plain-words reading, and each verse among its neighbours. It does not supply occasion of revelation, interpretation (tafsir) or history, and it never invents them.

What this study does not answer, and which source would be needed. It does not say on what occasion any of these verses was given: this study holds no source whose usage rights can be verified. It does not report how any commentator has read them: this study holds no either - the Arabic of , and is public domain by age, but no English edition with verifiable usage rights exists. And it offers no academic-historical reading: this study holds no such scholarship. Each of those is an absence with a named cause, not an omission.

What this rests on

Opens with 16:58–59, widening across 5 passages in all.

Easy-read is a simplified pronunciation, not authoritative — a rule-by-rule romanisation, not a reading. Each verse ends in its pause form, as it is said when you stop there. Pauses inside a verse and other tajwid rules are not shown. It is derived from the Tanzil Simple edition, while the Arabic above is the Uthmani edition; both are cleared, but they are not the same edition and their orthography differs.

The versesSource fact 5 passages, each with every cleared translation

5 passages, chosen for this question and signed as part of it. Each carries the reason it is here, and each renders in full: the Arabic, then every cleared translation of that verse under its translator's name.

Each verse opens on the translation that comes first in the site's fixed order, which runs from the newest translation to the oldest. The order is not a preference. Open Compare translations on any verse to read the others.

16:58 E, kur ndonjërit prej tyre i jepet lajmi për lindjen e ndonjë vajze, i nxihet fytyra dhe mbushet plot hidhërim.

43:17 আর তাদের কারো কাছে যখন সেই সন্তানের(৬) সুসংবাদ দেওয়া হয়, যাকে সে পরম করুণাময়ের জন্য উপমা হিসেবে স্থির করে, তখনই তার মুখমণ্ডল কালো হয়ে যায় এবং সে অন্তর্জ্বালায় দমিত হয়ে থাকে।

43:18 আর (৭) যে অলংকারে সজ্জিত অবস্থায় লালিত পালিত হয় এবং সে বিতর্ককালে সুস্পষ্ট বক্তব্য প্রদানে অক্ষম।

43:19 আর তারা রহমানের বান্দা ফিরিশতাদেরকে নারী হিসেবে গণ্য করেছে। তারা কি তাদের সৃষ্টি প্রত্যক্ষ করেছে? তাদের সাক্ষ্য অবশ্যই লিখে রাখা হবে এবং তাদেরকে জিজ্ঞাসাবাদ করা হবে।(৮)

43:15 E Gli hanno attribuito una parte dei Suoi servi: in verità l’uomo è un chiaro miscredente!

43:16 Lui si è forse scelto delle figlie tra ciò che ha creato, concedendo a voi i maschi?

43:17 E se ad uno di loro venisse annunciato ciò che lui attribuisce al Compassionevole, la sua faccia si farebbe cupa e si rattristerebbe.

43:18 Lui sceglierebbe chi è allevato nei vizi e non si distingue nelle liti?

43:19 E hanno considerato gli angeli, che sono servi del Compassionevole, femmine: ma hanno forse assistito alla loro creazione? La loro testimonianza verrà scritta e ne saranno interrogati.

43:15 15. Tačiau vis tiek jie priskiria kai kuriems Jo vergams Jo dalį (apsimesdami, kad Jis turi vaikų arba laikydami juos lygiais Jam arba Jo partneriais garbinime). Iš tiesų, žmogus tikrai yra aiškiame nedėkingume.

43:16 16. Arba argi Jis prisiėmė dukras iš to, ką Jis sukūrė arba Jis parinko jums sūnus?

43:17 17. Ir jei vienam iš jų pranešamos naujienos apie (dukros gimimą), kurį jis pateikia kaip panašumą Malononingiausiajam (Allahui), jo veidas tampa tamsus, ir persipildo liūdesio.

43:18 18. (Mėgsta jie tada Allahui) kūrinį, kuris yra išauginamas puošmenose (dėvint šilką ir auksinius papuošalus, t. y. moteris) ir kuris ginče negali savęs paaiškinti?

43:19 19. Ir jie padaro angelus, kurie patys yra Maloningiausiojo (Allaho) vergai, moterimis. Ar jie matė jų sukūrimą? Jų liudijimas bus įrašytas, ir jie bus apklausti.

43:15 Но они приписали Ему часть из Его рабов. Воистину, человек — явно неблагодарен.

43:16 Или же Он взял Себе дочерей из того, что творит, а вам избрал сыновей?!

43:17 А когда кому-либо из них сообщают весть о том, что он приписал Милостивому, лицо его мрачнеет, и он полон сдерживаемой скорби.

43:18 И неужели [они приписывают Аллаху] того, кто взращён в украшениях и в споре не способен ясно изъясниться?!

43:19 И они сочли ангелов, которые сами являются рабами Всемилостивого, [существами] женского пола. Неужели они присутствовали при их сотворении?! Их свидетельство будет записано, и они будут спрошены.

Talal Itani2012 But if they turn away-We did not send you as a guardian over them. Your only duty is communication. Whenever We let man taste mercy from Us, he rejoices in it; but when misfortune befalls them, as a consequence of what their hands have perpetrated, man turns blasphemous.

Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall1930 But if they are averse, We have not sent thee as a warder over them. Thine is only to convey (the message). And lo! when We cause man to taste of mercy from Us he exulteth therefor. And if some evil striketh them because of that which their own hands have sent before, then lo! man is an ingrate

What this study rests on, and what it refusessigned with it4 of the 5 paragraphs signed with this study; the paragraph naming what it does not answer is at the top of the page

The selection above and this account of it are part of what was signed. Where the renderings disagree it says so; where the question runs past what has cleared the rights audit it says that too.

Read across the four public-domain translations - Sale 1734, Rodwell 1861, Palmer 1880, Pickthall 1930 - of 16:58-59, 43:15-19, 52:39, 42:49-50, 81:8-9, in full, and nothing else. This study consults no , no , no occasion of revelation and no biography, because none is yet available in an edition whose usage rights can be verified. Itani 2012, the fifth translation shown with these verses, was not consulted for this study.

How this set was arrived at. The verses were found by a word search of the four public-domain translations, using terms chosen by the editor and listed here as they were searched - when + if + one + of + them + receiveth + tidings + of + the + birth + of + a + female; his + face + becometh + dark; shall + he + keep + it + in + contempt + or + bury + it + beneath + the + dust; ye + have + sons + and + he + hath + daughters; he + bestoweth + female + upon + whom + he + will. The search was a way of finding passages, not a judgement about what they mean: that several translators chose the same English word is not evidence about the Arabic. A different choice of terms gives a different set.

Verses carried by more than one study. Some passages here also serve another study. Each carries its own reason in each place, and the reason states where else it appears.

Where the translations part company, named rather than resolved. How differently the translations word each verse is shown on that verse's page, and the study names the differences it turns on rather than choosing between them.
