The situation of the believing woman in Paradise will be better than the situation of the hoor al-‘iyn; she will be higher in status and more beautiful. Several ahaadeeth and reports have been narrated concerning that, but none of them can be proven to be sound. But if a righteous woman from among the people of this world enters Paradise, then she will do so as a reward for her righteous deeds and as a honour from Allaah to her for her religious commitment and righteousness. As for the hoori who is one of the delights of Paradise, she has only been created in Paradise for the sake of someone else, and has been made the reward for the believing man for his righteous deeds. There is a great difference between one who enters Paradise as a reward for her righteous deeds and the one who was created as a reward for one who did righteous deeds. The former is a queen and a princess, and the latter, no matter how beautiful she is, is undoubtedly lower in status than a queen, and she is subject to the command of her believing master for whom Allaah created her as a reward.

Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah have mercy on him) was asked: Does the description of the hoor al-‘iyn include the women of this world?

He replied:

It seems to me that the women of this world will be better than the hoor al-‘iyn, even in outward appearance, and Allaah knows best.

Fataawa Noor ‘ala al-Darb.

We ask Allaah the Almighty to give us the best of that which He gives to His believing slaves.

And Allaah knows best.

that reminds me of this...


I understand that heaven is not meant only for men and I firmly believe that Allah is just and that all muslimeen who enter heaven will recieve their due rewards. However the problem was with that specific quote you wrote and I wont attribute it to you because I have read it in other places that the wife will be the leader of the hoors and be the most beautiful as if the main concern with women is being more beautiful compared with the 72 other houris it's a very simplistic way to look at women really although beauty is important and women care more about beauty then men it's not the most important thing.
your husband will have 72 houris but don't worry you will be the most beautiful of these, give women some credit subhanAllah I can't speak for all women but I find it a very strange thing to say.

Why'd he lie to her? He broke her heart every night for three years...we all know that is tantamount to breaking down the kabah every night for three years...
 
Salams Lisa,

I totally agree with you.

The Quran is the best book to follow as is the word of Allah and there is no mention of 72 hurs for a martyr in there at all. It's also best to learn Arabic as the English translation does not do justice to the true meaning of the Quran since the Arabic vocabulary is rich in different connotations and meanings.

Please be very careful what you read about hadiths as some of these are fabricated myths and are untrue.

In case anyone missed my post.

Please be very careful what you read, not all hadiths are authentic. Some hadiths are weak, or fabricated.

Peace Mercy And Blessing of Allah be upon all of us.

Sister, i just asked a knowledgable brother: This is what he replied;

I dont think this issue is so important actually. The hadith about the lowest having 72 houris is a weak hadith as I have heard by hadith experts. However the hadith about the martyr having it and 6 other special blessings are as I have heard authentic.

However we shouldnt base our longing for Paradise on this because once we enter Paradise we will get whatever we desire, and we will not only have whatever we desire but even more than that. And not only that we will get whatever we desire but we will also get whatever will please our eyes in Paradise.

As Allah (swt) says

Surah 16:31

Gardens of Eternity which they will enter: beneath them flow (pleasant) rivers: they will have therein all that they wish: thus doth Allah reward the righteous― (31)

Surah 25:16

"For them there will be therein all that they wish for: they will dwell (there) for aye: a promise to be prayed for from thy Lord." (16)

Surah 36 : 56-57
They and their associates will be in pleasant shade, reclining on thrones (of dignity); (56) (Every) fruit (enjoyment) will be there for them; they shall have whatever they call for; (57)

Surah 39:34

And he who brings the Truth and he who confirms (and supports) it― such are the men who do right. (33) They shall have all that they wish for, in the presence of their Lord: such is the reward of those who do good: (34)

Surah 41: 30-32

In the case of those who say "Our Lord is Allah", and further, stand straight and steadfast, the angels descend on them (from time to time): "Fear ye not!" (they suggest) "Nor grieve! but receive the Glad Tidings of the Garden (of Bliss), the which ye were promised! (30) "We are your protectors in this life and in the Hereafter: therein shall ye have all that your souls shall desire; therein shall ye have all that ye ask for! (31) "A hospitable gift from One Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful!" (32)

Surah 42 : 22

Thou wilt see the wrongdoers in fear on account of what they have earned, and (the burden of) that must (necessarily) fall on them. But those who believe and work righteous deeds will be in the luxuriant meads of the Gardens: they shall have, before their Lord, all that they wish for: That will indeed be the magnificent Bounty (of Allah). (22)

Surah 43: 68- 72

My devotees! No fear shall be on you that Day nor shall ye grieve― (68) (Being) those who have believed in Our Signs and bowed (their wills to Ours) in Islam. (69) Enter ye the Garden, ye and your wives, in (beauty and) rejoicing. (70) To them will be passed round, dishes and goblets of gold: there will be there all that the souls could desire all that the eyes could delight in: and ye shall abide therein (for aye). (71) Such will be the Garden of which ye are made heirs for your (good) deeds (in life). (72)

Surah 50: 31-34

And the Garden will be brought nigh to the righteous no more a thing distant. (31) "This is what was promised for you for everyone who turned (to Allah) in sincere repentance who kept (his law). (32) "Who feared (Allah) Most Gracious unseen, and brought a heart turned in devotion (to Him): (33) "Enter ye therein in Peace and Security; this is a Day of Eternal Life!" (34) There will be for them therein all that they wish and more besides in Our Presence. (35)

So in Paradise we will get even more than what we desire and we will get whatever will please our eyes. Also here is a good tafsir of verse 16:31 from Abu ala Mawdudi (ra)

Quote:
This is the best blessing of Paradise. The dweller will get there whatever he will desire and wish and there will be nothing at all to offend him. This is the blessing that has never been attained even by the richest and the most powerful people in this world. On the contrary, every dweller of Paradise will enjoy this blessing to his fill because he will always have everything to his desire and liking, and will have each and every wish and desire fulfilled.

So we shouldnt look for the details, rather we know once we get in Paradise we will get whatever we desire. And this applies for both men and women in Paradise since their reward in Paradise is equall.

And Allah knows best

The word 'Hur' is the plural of both Ahwar (Masculine) and Hawra (Feminine) which literally translates as "white-eyed", or persons distinguished by Hawar, signifying "intense whiteness of the eyeballs and lustrous black of the pupils." (ref: Qamus ), hence 'the purity' (ref: Tafsir al'Tabari, and Tafsir al-Razi in 3:52). And as for the phrase, "In it is the plural of both 'Ayan' (Masculine) and 'Ainao' (Feminine)",[24] it was also used to refer to the beautiful eyes of the wild-cow whose eyes are blond. In general, this word implies 'most beautiful eye' irrespective of the person's gender. Thus, it seems that the most appropriate English rendering of the compound word Hur'In might be: "Companions pure, most beautiful of eye."[25] and it is applicable to both male and female.[26]..

The houri are mentioned in several places in the Qur’an, although in plural no specifics are given as to the number of houries available. Likewise it does not appear from the Qur’an that only girls should be available; both sexes are mentioned. And they are made available to all Muslims, not just martyrs.

"Thus shall it be. And We shall pair(zawajnahoom: pair them, marry them). Note zawj (lit., “a pair” or - according to the context - “one of a pair”) applies to either of the two sexes,a man to a woman and a woman to a man, as does the transitive verb zawaja, “he paired” or “joined”, i.e., one person with another)[31]them with companions pure, most beautiful of eye."[Chapter (Surah) Ad-Dukhan (The Smoke)(44):54][32]
"In these [gardens] will be mates of modest gaze [qasirat at-tarf: Lit., “such as restrain their gaze”, i.e., are of modest bearing and have eyes only for their mates (Tafsir Razi).This phrase applies to both genders.[4]], whom neither man nor invisible being will have touched ere then." [Chapter (Surah) Ar-Rahman (The Most Beneficent(55):56][33]
"[There the blest will live with their] companions pure and modest, in pavilions [splendid] [Chapter (Surah) Ar-Rahman (The Most Beneficent)(55):72][34] "reclining on couches [of happiness] ranged in rows!” And [in that paradise] We shall mate them with companions pure, most beautiful of eye [Chapter (Surah) At-Tur (The Mount)(52):20][35]

Here is a verse that refers to one’s spouse renewal to a pure state:

"And [with them will be their] spouses, raised high: for, behold, We shall have brought them into being in a life renewed, having resurrected them as virgins [Chapter (Surah) Al-Waqi'a (The Event)(56):34-36][36]

There are also verses regarding both genders explicitly:

God has promised the believers, both men and women (Lit., waalmuminoona (male believers) waalmuminatu (female believers), gardens through which running waters flow, therein to abide, and goodly dwellings in gardens of perpetual bliss: but God's goodly acceptance is the greatest [bliss of all] -for this, this is the triumph supreme! [Chapter (Surah) At-Taubah (The Repentance) (9):72][37]

As for anyone - be it man or woman [Lit., min (from) thakarin (male) aw (or) ontha (female)][16:97] - who does righteous deeds, and is a believer withal - him shall We most certainly cause to live a good life, and most certainly shall We grant unto such as these their reward in accordance with the best that they ever did. [Chapter (Surah) An-Nahl (The Bee) (16):97][38]

A verse regarding other companionship:

“And, O our Sustainer, bring them into the gardens of perpetual bliss which Thou hast promised them, together with the righteous from among their forebears, and their spouses, and their offspring - for, verily, Thou alone art almighty, truly wise [Chapter (Surah) Ghafir (The Forgiver)(40):8][39]

On the other hand, here is a verse reflecting on the relationship between a husband and a wife in this life. In particular, noting that the engendering of love and tenderness is not just in the hereafter:

^ Salams,

You may be right there and it makes me upset to see Islamic info there rather than on our websites, but what has happened to all of our Islamic sites which had this info there and where have they disappeared?

Also if the info is correct, the evidence is there and we have scrutnized it then is there any harm in accepting it esp when the hadith quoted above about the 72 virgins, is weak and not authentic in the first place?
