What will women get in Paradise?

I have never thought to question what I'll get in heaven if I ever indeed get there. Seems a little selfish to me. Lovely read though, reassuring to many I presume. May Allah (SWT) reward you for your efforts.
 
I think I am trying to look for some hope, really. All my life I wished just to have at least one man that loved only me and treated me kindly. Apparently, this is impossible, but Allah is greater than what anyone on this earth says. I look forward to being brainwashed into not caring about it anymore. My heart is so broken and my dreams are shattered. I don't know what I will tell my children if I can't tell it to myself. An issue such as this really hurts my iman. I thought that even Muhammad, PBUH said to Ali when he wanted to take a second wife: "What hurts her hurts me." And there is the golden rule in Islam as well: "One doesn't become a believer until he wants for his (brother/sister) what he wants for himself." I am not trying to say that men should want their wives to have other men. I am saying men and women are really not too different in what they desire, but women are the ones forced to sacrifice not only in this world, but in the next as well. Men really need to think about this and treat us with a lot more kindness and compassion. I would rather work like a slave day and night for the rest of my life knowing I would have my own love at the end of it all and that I would never be lonely again.
 
I still don't understand. Why does a woman have to share her husband in heaven?
 
Her husband if from this Earth will have his own free will if he chooses to exercise it, and same applies the other way around for the lady.

So basically if a woman does not want her hubbie from this Earth she doesn't have to be with him, and vice versa.

So basically the reward is equal for men and women, and Allah knows best.

Just my 2 cents.

I don't think so. What if he wants a 2nd wife and she wants to be his only wife?
Anw, I probably should'nt have asked... we don't really know what paradise will be like. I should be more concerned about entering paradise first...
 
I really dont know the mysteries, but it would be sufficient to know that, God knows what pleases us the most and if you read the initial article, that is what it talks about. That we will be rewarded according to what we want and there will be no ill feelings towards each other.

So its unknown to us all the answers of "what if"
 
Allah is just. He isn't going to be unjust to women. In Paradise Allah will give everyone whatever their hearts desire. so if a woman wants a man all to herself, I'm sure Allah will give him to her.

In the Quran perpetual youths are also mentioned, not just hoor. and the description is similar in some places to the descritiption of hoors (like scattered pearls, well-guarded pearls).

in this world, our nature serves a certain purpose. for example, men are allowed more than one wife so that they can have many children and can provide for divorcees and widows while women aren't allowed more than one husband so that it can be known who the father is. but in some animals, for example in ants the queen ant mates with many males in order to fertilize many eggs. in this world, men aren't allowed gold and silk but in paradise men and women both will get gold and silk.
 
I don't think we should question what is fair and what isn't fair. Just think about the people who will be going to hell. For them, all they will wish for is just to have a LOOK into paradise. What we need to question is if what we are doing is good enough, and leave the rest with Allah.
 
Well, I definitely don't want to be a crispy critter. But I will say that there is DEFINITELY NO EXCUSE for a man to EVER be cruel or even condescending to women after all we must sacrifice. And Alhamdulillah, Allah sent down DNA paternity testing if there is ever a doubt. I understand the need for some 'damage control' during this life, but I really think there are some other problems as well. The Prophet, PBUH, granted a divorce to a woman who just said she didn't like the way her husband looked. Here in USA, imams and husbands tell their wives and women of the ummah that since there is no Islamic court system/tribunal here, women can't get a divorce without permission from her husband, whereas the husband can just snap his fingers and that's it (of course after 3 months maintenance, but that doesn't keep a woman off the streets forever.) This happened to me here in Texas. Furthermore, Muhammad, PBUH didn't want Ali to take a wife other than Fatima as "what hurts her hurts me..." was spoken. No, he didn't say that Ali couldn't have another wife, but really, who wants to hurt the Prophet SAWS? Perhaps there is a model to be followed here---polygyny shouldn't be excercised freely. Men need to take into account what the most responsible and kind decision would be for his family, and give his existing wife the option of finding a better match if she so chooses. Men also need to think about the difference between dividing everything from finances to time from full to half (or less with more wives.) before making such a decision and not just be lust-stricken by someone they met (and sometimes have already started a relationship with--which is wrong!). With all that men will be rewarded with and all the rights they have---really I am beside myself to see so many of these men fall into ridiculous patterns, decadence, and abusive behaviors. InshAllah, I hope Al-Mahdi comes soon with '3Isa allayis salam......there is so much fitna in marriages and in politics these days......I have almost no knowledge, and I can see the discrepancies.....
 
Also, there seems to be a clause where women must "ransom" themselves. This is the language of slavery. I didn't know that when I marry, I became a slave. Isn't it wrong to enslave a free person?! Sorry, I digress......
 
So to sum up this.

1. Women are made equal with men in reward in Hereafter, however the status in Paradise is determined according to the deeds you did, just as the martyr is in higher rank than others so this applies to both men and women

2. Women and men will get everything they desire, so if a women wants to be in her palace or if she wants to walk in the gardens and drink from the rivers of wine, water, milk and honey which Allah (swt) mentioned in Surah 47, or if she wants to sit on her Thrones or if she wants to fly in Paradise wherever she wants, whatever she wants she will get.

3. There will be full justice on Judgment Day, you will be rewarded for your deeds. Not because you were a man or women but because of what you did in this life and both men and women will be equally punished/rewarded in the Hereafter.

So all muslim women and men of course should first of all prepare for the Day of Judgment so they can avoid Hell-fire and once you enter Paradise you will get whatever you desire even if you are at the lowest rank of Paradise.

And there are many verses in the Qur´an which explains this for example refer to Surahs 3:195, 4:124; 9:71-72, 33:35, 33:73, 40:40.

I have heard in many lectures that pious Muslim women from dunya will be 70times more beautiful than the hoor al ayn in Jannah.

Would anyone have any hadith to maybe prove this, i would appreciate it...

Some more info...

In this hadith, the relevant part is bolded and underlined, but its context is provided to help understand the discussion between the umm al-mu'mineen, Umm Salamah rd and the Prophet Muhammad saws:
Umm Salamah says, "I asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, inform me about the saying of Allah:
وحور عين
​
{And there will be Hûr with wide lovely eyes} 56:22
He said, 'Huge eyes; the edge of an eyelid of Al-Hûr is like the wing of an eagle.'

I said, 'Inform me about His Saying:
كأمثال اللؤلؤ المكنون​
{Like unto preserved pearls} 56:23
He said: 'Pureness, from the pureness of the pearls which are in shells that have not been touched by hands.'

I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, inform me about His Saying:
فيهن خيرات حسان
​
{Therein (gardens) will be khayrâtun hisân (fair (wives) good and beautiful)} 55:70
He said, 'Wonderful manners and beautiful faces.'

I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, inform me about His Saying:
كأنهن بيض مكنون
​
{(Delicate and pure) as if they were (hidden) eggs (well) preserved} 37:49
He said, 'Their delicateness is like the delicateness of the skin on the inside of an egg (i.e. the fine layer that comes after the shell)...'

I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, inform me about His Saying:
عربا أترابا
​
{Loving (their husbands) only, (and) of equal age} 56:37
He said, 'They are the ones who become decrepit in the world, afflicted with Rams (shedding of tears caused by sickness) and Sham (whiteness of the hair). They will love passionately and they will be loved. And they will be Atrâban, born on the same day (i.e. of the same age)'.

I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, inform me: are the women of this world better or Al-Hûr Al-'Een?'
He replied, 'Rather the women of this world are better than the Al-Hûr Al-'Een, like the superiority a garment to its lining.'

I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, with what (are the women of this world superior)?'
He replied, 'With their prayer, their fasting, and their worship of Allah. Allah will clothe their faces with light, and their bodies with silk. White in color, with green garments, and yellow adorments...and their combs are gold. They will say: We will live forever and never die, we are comfortable and will never become wretched, we are settled and will never travel away. Lo! We are the pleased ones and we will never become dissatisfied or angry. Tooba (blessings) for he who is for us and has us for him.'

I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, a woman from us marries two, three or four husbands (in the world, after divorce or after the husband's death), and then she dies. Then she enters Paradise and they enter with her. Who will be her husband?'
He replied, 'O Umm Salamah, she is given a choice, and she chooses the one from them who had the best manners, so she will say: O my Lord, this one had better manners towards me in the abode of the world than the rest of them, so marry me to him.
O Umm Salamah, good manners have taken the goodness of this world and the hereafter.' " (Related by At-Tabarânî)
​

Here is a narration that gives an understanding of the status of Al-Hûr Al-Een:

Sa'îd ibn Jubayr related that Ibn 'Abbâs said, "Were a Hûrî to bring out her hand between the heaven and the earth, all created beings would be captivated by her beauty. And if she were to bring out her veil, the sun compared to its beauty would be like a wick (of a candle) compared to the sun: no light does it have. And were she to bring out her face, its beauty would illuminate that which is between the heavens and the earth." (Related by Abu Bakr ibn Abî Ad-Dunyâ)

So, if this is the status of Al-Hûr Al-'Een, then contemplate the status of the believing women of this world who are superior to the Hûr in every aspect!

The renowned mufassir Imâm Al-Qurtubî writes the following:
Anas ibn Mâlik related that the Messenger of Allah said, "Verily, the wives of the dwellers of Paradise will sing for their husbands with the most beautiful voices that anyone will have ever heard. This is from what they will sing: we live forever and never die, we are safe and never become afraid, we are settled and will never travel away." (Related by Ibn Abî Dhuaib)
When they say that statement, the believing women from the people of this world will say, "We are the one praying ones, and you never prayed; we are the fasting ones and you never fasted; we are the ones who performed wudoo and you never performed wudoo; we are the ones who gave charity and you never gave charity." Aishah said, "They (the believing women of this world) will overcome them (with their words)."

And Allah knows best. (At-Tadhkirah)

SubhanALLAH, i did not see this

this it seems to be enough for me

May Allah reward you for posting this

:cry: Glory be to Allahh
 
I dont know why you are bothering in quoting these hadith? Some of them such as the one found in Tabarani have been quoted by some as not authentic and the others are from collections which are full of fabricated reports and weak reports.

Rather women will have the same status in Paradise as men, in other words they are completely equal with regards to rewards.

Aleikum selam

What does it matter? Seriously we shouldnt bother about this. In Paradise women will have the same status as that of men and will get whatever they desire and will have eternal hapiness as all other inhabitants of Paradise.
