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:
Is it possible, to
give birth to children in paradise ?
(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:
Children birth 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.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 46 Surah Ahqaaf verse 15: We have enjoined on man kindness to his parents: in pain
did his mother bear him, and in pain did she give him birth.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 31 Surah Luqman verse 14: And We have enjoined on man (to be good) to his parents: in
travail upon travail did his mother bear him and in years twain was his
weaning: (hear the command) "Show gratitude to Me and to thy parents: to
Me is (thy final) Goal.
The
whole process of a birth and the weaning of child in its infancy is engulfed in
the pain and the sacrifice one’s parents bear for their children; and the
Promise of the Lord Most Gracious to the righteous and fortunate dwellers of
Paradise is that in that Eternal and Blissful life in the Hereafter there will
be no pain, no sacrifice, no fear, no grief, and no hardship!
To the
best of our knowledge, there is absolutely nothing mentioned in either the
Quran or the Sunnah that the fortunate dwellers of
But the
life of the Promised Hereafter is Endless and Everlasting, no one will get old,
no one will get sick, and no one will die or need inheritors…thus the very need
for bearing and having children would not remain!
Although
nothing specific is mentioned regarding the giving of birth to children in
Paradise in the Quran or Sunnah, in light of the guidance of the Quran and the
Sunnah and the nature of that blissful and beautiful life of abundance in
Hereafter, the very need to give birth and wean children there does not seem
probable.
Whatever
written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance,
and whatever of error is of me alone.
Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.
Your Brother in Islam,
