Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh.  (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

I have read books on life of the hereafter and I have read repeatedley that if a man has no partner in heaven they are offered "Hurs", While I have not yet come across that if a Woman is in heaven without a partner nothing is mentioned that there will be a male partner offered to her, why?

(There may be some grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in confidentiality.)

Answer:

Partner for Women in Paradise

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is no one (no idol, no person, no grave, no prophet, no imam, no dai, nobody!) worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

There are several narrations from the Messenger of Allah (saws) who said that the woman who makes it to Paradise alone, Allah will arrange a husband for her from among the men in Paradise. If a man makes it to Paradise alone, Allah will also arrange a wife for him from among the women in Paradise.

The truth is that Allah has promised the fortunate people who reach Paradise, that they will get there whatever their hearts desire. All they have to do is ask Allah, and Insha Allah, it will be provided by our Generous and Bounteous Lord. This is the promise of Allah Subhanah to the fortunate ones who will make it to Paradise!

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 50 Surah Qaaf verse 35:There they (the men and women of Paradise) shall have all that they will desire, and We have with Us yet more for them!

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 25 Surah Furqan verses 15-16:As them, “Is this (the Fire) better, or the everlasting gardens which have been promised to the God-fearing, righteous people (men and women)?”. That will be the recompense of their good deeds and the final destination of their journey, wherein, they will get everything they desire, and wherein they will dwell forever. This is a promise which your Lord has taken upon Himself to fulfill.

No want of any individual in Paradise will remain unfulfilled! There he/she can have whatever their hearts desire. This is a promise which our Lord has made it incumbent upon Himself to fulfill! Subhan Allah!

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your Brother in Islam,

Burhan
