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:

Assalamualaikum!
as you answered a question about that, what will women get in paradise, as men get Hoors. you said that the women will be living with their families and husband. I wanted to ask that wheather a women will live in Paradise, with his Husband, who was her husband in This World. Also, many men and women marries more than one person, then whom will they live with.

And will the love for on`es husband or wife, remain in the heart in the life after death 

(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:

Which husband or wife 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.

Your Question: I wanted to ask that wheather a women will live in Paradise, with his Husband, who was her husband in This World

If both the husband and the wife were pious in their life of this world and are awarded Paradise by the Mercy of their Lord in the Hereafter, Allah Subhanah will increase their love manifold between them, and each of them would prefer none to be their everlasting spouse and partner except their pious spouse of this world.

Your Question: men and women marries more than one person, then whom will they live with.

If the believing man or woman happened to marry more than once in the life of this world, on their entry to Paradise, their Lord Most Gracious will give them a choice and an option to choose any one amongst their worldly spouse to be their husband/wife in the everlasting life of the Hereafter. The Prophet (saws) said that the one given the option would choose the spouse who was best in character in the life of this world.

Your Question: And will the love for on`es husband or wife, remain in the heart in the life after death?

Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 7 Surah Aaraf verses 42-43:

42 But those who believe and work righteousness, no burden do We place on any soul but that which it can bear, they will be companions of the Garden therein to dwell (for ever).

43 And We shall remove from their hearts any lurking sense of injury; beneath them will be rivers flowing; and they shall say: "Praise be to Allah Who hath guided us to this (Felicity): never could we have found guidance had it not been for the guidance of Allah: indeed it was the Truth that the Messenters of our Lord brought unto us." And they shall hear the cry: "Behold! the Garden before you! Ye have been made its inheritors for your deeds (of righteousness)."

Not only will the love between two who loved each other in world remain, but Allah Subhanah will, from His Mercy and Grace, increase their love in the everlasting life of the Hereafter. And as with any relationship, if there was any ill-will or lurking sence of injury, The Lord Most Gracious, from His Mercy, will absolutely remove every ill-will from their hearts and there will be nothing but absolute and pure love between the fortunate dwellers of Paradise; be it between husband and wife, between brother and brother, or between a friend and a friend! Everywhere one sees, everything one experiences in the Gardens of Paradise will be nothing but Honor, Peace, Happiness, and everlasting Bliss.

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 and well wisher in Islam,

Burhan
