I have always thought that it is unfair that a woman in paradise must share her husband with 70 or 72 hour al-ein. I Dunno.
Anyways, I live in an arab muslim society (Tripoli, Lebanon) and I asked about this and most people I asked don't belive in this and some didn't even know about this.
The people I asked are religious and they practice Islam...so if the idea was correct they would agree with it.
Then I asked a mufti and his answer was that in the Quran it is not mentioned that a man gets 72 virgins. In The Quran it is mentioned that there are young boys who will serve the people of paradise and the Hour Al-Ein are also mentioned. Maybe they are also servants?
The mufti I asked said that the people who believe that a man gets 72 virgins in paradise quote a hadith from the prophet (PBUH) that is weak.
Oh and I wanna say that the people I asked r from 3 different generations...now personally this idea that we don't know if a man gets 72 virgins in paradise made more sense to me. I never liked the idea of a woman sharing her husband even if u say that God removes the jealousy from her heart. Why does God remove the jealousy from a woman's heart instead of removing lust from a man's heart? Ur thoughts plz...

Jazakallah khair!

asalam alaikum wr wb,

What would be the point in having even one wife if Allah was to remove lust from a man's heart? The jannatees hearts will be one, so you might actually be over the moon (lol literally) about your husband having another wife

wa alaikum asalam wr wb.

Interesting thread...only one question comes to mind;does a woman have to be with her wordly husband in Heaven,or can she marry another?

Not every woman on this earth who gets married is completly and madly in love with her husband,maybe they married each other out of responsibility,maybe she married him because he was a proper husband,but was never really attracted to him,and she never really "clicked" with him.She only gets her husband in jannah,and that means she gets him,and him only for eternity.Does she have an option,or is it her husband right away?


I'd imagine that if he mistreated her gravely,then he would be in Heaven..

Sorry if I sound a bit pessimistic,I've just been surrounded by a lot of "blank" marriages,where women and men do not seem happy,just...o.k.They married because it was "there time".I do believe that a woman should be the happiest with her husband,but not everyone gets a perfect fairytell ending on this earth.And since we are talking here about jannah and eternity and complete bliss,I wonder if it would be allowed for her to marry another man in jannah.

Sorry if this question is unproper
