What is Paradise? Muhammad p.b.u.h. replied "It is what the eye hath not seen, nor the ear heard, nor ever occurred to the mind of man."

so how about we leave it at that?.. we are only told of the things that we love in this world that we can relate to, only Allah swt knows what awaits the righteous..

i agree with amna_mirza, although it is stated in the quran this can be a very difficult thing to accept for us girls, especially those with husbands whom we love very much. to think of another female to give pleasure to our husband can be at times frustrating. there must be a better explanation for this, i am sure that Allah would never give an unfair or unjus command to his creation. therefore there must be a misinterpretation.

If it has to be this way then ....Alhumdulilah we accept...If jealousy will be eradicated from the hearts in jannah thats great - meanwhile how to sort it for now...

Hoors are as they have been described pretty much... wow.
If women from the world will be queen/leaders of the hoors........ imagine...70 or however many hoors after your husband and you will be the preferred and most desired one.

The hoors (if its possible for them to feel this) would have plenty to be jealous about.. What fun is a competition when you are the only one competing?
Does the fact not feed the earthly self in one ? you and he and they know you are the best....I think that's indulgence?

I just find it a hard concept to believe because it it totally not what we are taught in this world concerning chastity. And what about the woman? If that man can have all the Hoors? what does the woman get? I have heard someone quoting something on the matter saying that women will have something similar.

Chastity will still remain in Jannah, because the Hoors will be their spouses in Jannah. Spouses indicate marriage, thus it is not like fornication has suddenly become permitted for Jannah. In Jannah there will be no lustful / evil desires.

From what I'm aware, Allah has created man to be able to handle and want more than one woman. I understand that hurts, but that's reality. Given the fact the polygyny is halaal for a man in the dunya, provided he can be fair and just with all four, why would a man not be given the right to have more then one spouse in Jannah, a place that is free from all pain, jealousy, and negative feelings? The feelings we experience in this world is a test for us to overcome, and once we've made it to Jannah we've passed the test so there is no need for those feelings.

True, a Muslimah won't get multiple men in Jannah, but I'm not sure if you actually want that?? Generally the desires of a women is more directed at beauty and having her home furnished in the most luxurious ways possible, and all those material things and that is what Allah will bless them with.

Umme Salamah (Radiahallahu Anha) narrates that she said to the Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) "O Rasûlullah, are the women of this world superior or the hûrs (of Paradise)?" He replied, "The women of this world will have superiority over the hûrs just as the outer lining of a garment has superiority over the inner lining."

Umme Salamah (Radiahallahu Anha) then asked, "O Rasûlullah, what is the reason for this?" He answered, "Because they performed salâh, fasted, and worshiped [Allah]. Allah will put light on their faces and silk on their bodies. [The human women] will be fair in complexion and will wear green clothing and yellow jewelry. Their incense-burners will be made of pearls and their combs will be of gold. They will say, 'We are the women who will stay forever and we will never die. We are the women who will always remain in comfort and we will never undergo difficulty. We are the women who will stay and we will never leave. Listen, we are happy women and we will never become sad. Glad tidings to those men for whom we are and who are for us.'"
[Tabrânî]
^ Isn't that more then we could possibly ask for?

May Allah forgive our sins and by His mercy accept us into Jannah. Ameeen.

I wanted to add as an addendum to this post that the word Janna denotes (that which is hidden from sight) and its derivatives are of course Jinn, Jinoon..
so by its mere definition, we couldn't possibly fathom an iota of what paradise is like, very likely that Allah swt, only allowed us to know very few things that we consider most desirable on earth, such as marriage, children, having mansions, streams and rivers.. in reality we really don't know what it will be like and I'd personally rather keep it at that..

" Jinn comes from the Arabic word janna which mean hidden, or unseen."

You know how men just don't get some things.. ...this is proof...they're surely lacking somewhere :X
...so it had to be spelt out for them what they could be getting.

As for women.... I think Allah swt trusts us...
We have the capability to know whatever we get will be beyond imagination and we'll love it.

Lets pray we are able to use the capability that men have been deprived of.

The original question was answered about 26 posts back. There is no sense in us going on with guesses and speculations, about all we accomplish that way is end up speaking in error and spreading our errors.
