Answer:
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 none 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: What
promise has ALLAH made for jannati women?
The
fortunate people who will be rewarded Paradise by Allah Subhanah, will get an abundance of things from their
Lord: eternal life of pleasure, gardens,
wealth, properties, palaces, servants,
canals of milk and honey, natural
springs, abundance of food and
fruits, and loving husband/wives, children,
family, etc. And above all, they will get the Pleasure and Good Will of
their Lord and Creator!
The
‘hurs’ are only a part of the bounty that the men of
Allah
has promised the fortunate dwellers of
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 50 Surah Qaaf verse 35:
There they (the men and women of

As
regards the rewards that the successful people of
Allah
Subhanah, Who Created everything in
existence, also created its nature. And since man was created polygamous by nature, one of the rewards which The All Knowing and
All Wise Lord has promised the fortunate men of Paradise is the companionship
of many chaste, beautiful, and obedient wives in that Eternal Abode of
the Hereafter.
The
nature granted by Allah to women is not the same that was granted to men.
Unlike men, a woman is not polygamous by nature. The things that a woman desires most from her
husband is that he love her, cherish
her, honor her, respect her, and treat her like a queen. And every woman also has the desire to be the
most beautiful of all!
Thus,
of all the heavenly wives of the righteous men of
Allah says in the Holy
Quran Chapter 32 Surah Sajdah verse 17:
No living being knows
what comfort of the eyes has been kept hidden from them, as a recompense for their (righteous) deeds!
Sahih Al-Bukhari
Hadith 4.467 Narrated by Abu
Huraira
Allah's Messenger (saws)
said, "Allah, The High and Exalted He is, said, 'I have prepared for My
pious slaves (men and women) things which have never been seen by an eye, or
heard by an ear, or imagined by a human being.'
Your Question: Will
husbands get thier wives in Aakhrat?
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 36 Surah Ya
Seen verses 55-58:
Verily the People of the Gardens shall that Day enjoy
in everything that they do; they
and their wives will be in groves of (cool) shade, reclining on Thrones (of dignity). They shall have all kinds of tasteful fruits,
and they shall have there, whatever they
may desire. They will have been greeted
with ‘Peace’, a Word (of salutation) from a Lord, Most Merciful.
Allah Say sin the Holy Quran Chapter 40 Surah
Ghafir verses 7-9:
7 Those (Angels) who sustain the Throne (of Allah) and those around it
sing Glory and Praise to their Lord; believe in Him; and implore forgiveness
for those who believe: "O Our Lord! Thy reach is over all things in Mercy
and Knowledge. Forgive then those who
turn in repentance and follow Thy Path: and preserve them from the Penalty of
the Blazing Fire!
8 "And grant O our Lord! That they enter the Gardens of Eternity
which Thou hast promised to them and to the righteous among their fathers,
their wives, and their posterity! For Thou art (He) the Exalted in
Might Full of Wisdom.
Without an iota of a doubt, the married couple amongst the
believers who lived their lives on this earth in the obedience and awe of Allah
Subhanah and both were fortunate enough to enter Paradise, the Lord Most High,
Most Merciful will re-unite the pious couple in
In
short, the fortunate people who will be rewarded Paradise by Allah Subhanah, will
get an abundance of all things from their Lord Most Generous: eternal life of pleasure, gardens,
wealth, properties, palaces, servants,
canals of milk and honey, natural
springs, abundance of food and
fruits, loving husband/wives, and children, and family, and friends, etc. And above all, they will get the Pleasure
and Good Will of their Lord Most Supreme, Most Majestic!
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 5 Surah
Maidah verse 119:
Allah will say:
"This is a Day on which the Truthful will profit from their Truth: theirs
are Gardens with rivers flowing beneath their eternal home: Allah
well-pleased with them and they with Allah: that is the Great
Salvation!
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 98 Surah
Al-Bayyinah verse 8:
Their reward is with
Allah: Gardens of Eternity Beneath which rivers flow; They will dwell therein
for ever; Allah well pleased with them and they with Him: all this for such as fear their Lord and
Cherisher.
Your Statement: May
ALLAH forgive me if I am wrong in my question anywhere.
Beloved brother in Islam, never ever hesitate or
apologize for asking any questions in the deen; for the deen or ‘way of life’
called Al-Islam is based on the Perfect Wisdom and Knowledge of the All Knowing
Lord, and every single command of the All Wise Lord is abundant in common-sense
and logic. Asking any type of questions
in Islam to gain more knowledge, or to confirm the Truth so that one’s heart is
more content, or to understand and thus follow with more conviction the dictates
of the deen is not only permissible, but absolutely encouraged in Islam. It is the right of the brother or sister to
ask anything they wish to clarify in the deen; and it is the responsibility and
duty of the good scholars to address the question asked to the best of their
knowledge and ability, and in the most polite and humble manner.
What is discouraged in Islam is if one asks questions for
the sake of asking, or arguing to ridicule the Truth with absolutely no
intention of obeying or following when the Truth is made clear to them, etc. But if one asks questions to clarify and seek
knowledge so that one may better follow the deen; such seeking of the Knowledge
of Truth is absolutely encouraged in Islam
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
