Girl Child in Islam Quran Hadith on Female Women status

Assalam O Alaikum,
Our creator Almighty Allah say in Quran that Male and female child are his decision.
لِلَّهِ مُلْكُ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَاءُ يَهَبُ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ إِنَاثًا وَيَهَبُ لِمَنْ يَشَاءُ الذُّكُورَ

أَوْ يُزَوِّجُهُمْ ذُكْرَانًا وَإِنَاثًا وَيَجْعَلُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ عَقِيمًا إِنَّهُ عَلِيمٌ قَدِيرٌ (الشورى: 49,50).
 


To Allah belongs the kingdom of the heavens and the earth. He creates what He wills. He grants females to whom He wills, and grants males to whom He wills. Or He combines for them couples, both males and females, and makes whom He wills barren. Surely,He is All-Knowing, Very-Powerful 

 (Surah Shura the counsel 42:49,50

[81:10]

When the sun will be folded up,and when the stars will swoop down,and when the mountains will be set in motion, and when the ten-months pregnant she-camels will be abandoned,and when the wild beasts will be gathered together,and when the seas will be flared up,and when the people will be arranged in categories,and when the girl-child that was buried alive will be asked, for what sin she was killed,

Special status of female child in eyes of our creator and his Last messenger Muhammad sallallahu Alaihi wasallam.

Anas  may  Allaah  be  pleased  with  him reported that the Prophet  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) said: "He who raises two daughters until their puberty will be with me in Paradise like this", and he symbolized the proximity by showing two of his fingers with a slight gap between them." (Muslim Shareef)
'Uqba ibn 'Amir reported that he heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, "If someone has three daughters and is patient with them and clothes them from his wealth, they will be a shield against the Fire for him." 
 Hadith from  Imam Bukhari Rahimullah collection of Al Adab Ul Mufrad
1. Ibn 'Abbas reported that he heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, "There is no Muslim who has two daughters and takes good care of them but that he will enter the Garden." 
2.Abu Sa'id al-Khudri said that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "No one has three daughters or three sisters and is good to them but that he will enter the Garden." 


3.Jabir ibn 'Abdullah reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Anyone who has three daughters and provides for them, clothes them and shows mercy to them will definitely enter the Garden." A man from the people said, "And two daughters, Messenger of Allah?" He said, "And two."
 Someone who looks after three sisters
.

Prophet (PBUH), also told: “Whoever is tested with daughters and treats them well, they will be for him a shield against the Fire of Hell.” (Bukhari Muslim)

 Imaam Hasan Basri   may  Allaah  have  mercy  upon  him said: “Girls are a source of reward and sons are a blessing; rewards are in one's favour (on the Day of Judgement) whereas one will be held accountable for blessings.”
 A daughter is a great bounty and an honour granted by Allaah, and a gate towards Paradise.
