Allah is fair and just, He won't program you to be satisfied with what we think you will get or won't get.

:salam:
we think of the Akhira and Jannat from what we know of this world. So all we know is what Allah has revealed to us. Jannah has not been seen by k imankind, Allah has not shown it to us, yet. Afaik.
So since we think of Jannat from the interpolation of this world, i.e. say, a huge Mansion in Jannah, you will think of a mansion and beautify it as much as you can.
But that beauty which you can compherehend and imagine, even if it be the most beautiful thing you have imagined or seen in this world. It is nothing compared to what is in Jannat.
So it is futile to compare one's feelings and wants from this world, and then interpolate it into Jannah. Of course, if you want a car, you will get that. Thing is, Allah knows us better than we know ourselves.
So, in short, Allah :swt: KNOWS what the hearts want. Allah :swt: CREATED you.
Correct me if I said anything wrong.
What we see and imagine is formed by our experiences and ability to think. We are limited in that regard.
Trust Allah, Allah WON'T disappoint us. That should assure anyone. But question is - will we disappoint ourselves?
Allahu alam.
I think the Hoor-ain have a choice as well. They probably asking Allah to show them their prospective spouses in this world. That's why one should always be gentleman evens if you single inshallah.
7, 70 and 700 was used by the arabics in the old days to describe a big number. So who knows what 72 wives really means :) I still don't know how one will pray for so many woman inshallah if one is fortunate to receive this blessing inshallah.
I was wondering, about the houri being white, a scholar told me this;
The word hur actually means the one whose eye has large space of whiteness. The statements you may have come across are either mistranslation or a personal interpretation of the scholar that other scholars may disagree with. The divine text talk about the brightness (which often mistranslated as whietness) and clear skin they have. Again, as I mentioned, it is an interpretation not a textual evidence
He told me that the houris being white skinned is just interpretation as he is saying here. Is he right?
The scholar who told it to you, I know him very well. What he is saying is not correct. All the years, the `Ulamaa are unanimous that Bayaadh means "whiteness" and not "brightness". That is taken even from the very word itself. He is giving an interpretation to it. An Usool is that, when it comes to Hadeeth, we always take the Zhaahir (literal) meaning unless there is a supporting evidence to show that in this case, the literal meaning is not intended. The literal meaning of the Ahaadeeth describing the Hoor-ul-`Een point out to them being fair-skinned. He says that it is an interpretation whereas it is not an interpretation.
In any case, this is not something which is worthwhile to debate over, at all. Absolutely no Faa'idah (benefit) will come from it. Islaam instructs people to focus on what concerns them, on what is beneficial, whether it is benefit to one's Aakhirah, which is the primary benefit, or if not, then at least Dunyawi benefit. But something which has no benefit at all, neither in the Dunyaa nor in the Aakhirah, is not something a Muslim spends any time in.
Use your common sense, ofcause they are of different colours. Different Eye colours and different facial features. But one thing that is certain is that they are all beautiful. It's the noor of their faces that is the key to their beauty Alhamdullilah. Allah did'nt create just white woman on earth, why would he create just white hoor-ain in Jannah firdous?
Hi Huzaifah, I was just wondering about this ayat:
حُورٌ عِينٌ {22
056:022 Khan :And (there will be) Houris (fair females) with wide, lovely eyes (as wives for the pious),
I was wondering, when it uses the word 'fair' in this context, does it mean fair as in fair skin or beautiful according to the ulema?
Do you know the authencity of this hadith?
دخلتُ الجنةَ، فإذا جاريةٍ أدماءَ، لعساءَ، فقلتُ : ما هذهِ يا جبريلُ ؟ فقال : إن الله تعالى عرفَ شهوةَ جعفرِ بنِ أبي طالبٍ للأَدِمَ اللَّعِسَ، فخَلَقَ لهُ هذِهِ
