Answer:
Which 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 none 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 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

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 6.302 Narrated by Abu
Huraira
Allah's Messenger
(saws) said, "Allah said, 'I have prepared for my pious worshipers such
things as no eye has ever seen, no ear has ever heard of, and nobody has ever
thought of.' "
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
Question: …..will we get the woman we love in paradise as our wife or will it
be the woman we marreid in this world?
Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 50 Surah Qaaf verse 35:
There they (the men and women of
Dear and beloved brother, in the realms of Paradise, it is
not that one will be forced to keep or live with the wife one married on this
earth against their will…..but when given a choice the fortunate dwellers of
Paradise will choose and desire their own wife above all the women of
Paradise….such will be the attraction, and love, and beauty the Lord Most
Gracious will instill in the sight of the couple who were married to pious
spouses on this earth, and both were fortunate enough to enter Paradise!
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.
