    People fear your Guardian Lord! Why are you putting your girls into beauty contests and reducing them to chattle? Teach them about the oneness of God, how He has no mother, nor partner, nor son, and that it is folly to associate partners with your Lord when He created you alone and it is He, alone, to whom you shall return. So follow the guidance of God in the Qur'an: the Last Testament.
