   I dont think i completley understand this one. Can you explain please?

   @ abdullah
   This narration basically mentions that the human women who enter Paradise will be better in status than the Hur Al-Ein, who are the women created especially for Paradise. The reasoning is that the former have done good deeds and been obedient to Allah, for which He will admit them into Al-Jannah. Allah knows best.

   bismillaah

   maashaaAllaah, this statement brings sweetness to the heart because many of the quotes that get mentioned in talks are about the hurul ayn and their beauty. The reality is that the daughters of Aadam (a.s) that enter jannah will be better than them.

   Allaahumma innee as'alukal jannah aameen

   The authentic hadiths from the Prophet – Allâh’s peace and praise be upon him – tell us that women who enter Paradise will be with their husbands who enter Paradise. Perhaps you are asking about women who were unmarried on Earth? Here is a question and response from Shaykh Muhammad  b. Salih Al-‘Uthaymîm – Allâh’s mercy be upon him. Perhaps it answers your question.

   The Shaykh was asked: If a woman is in Paradise, but has never been married in this world, or was married but her husband has not been admitted to Paradise, who will she have?
   The Shaykh responded: The answer to this is taken from the general meaning of the statement of Allâh the Exalted (Quran 41:31 – the meaning in English): ‘And you will have therein (in Paradise) what your souls desire, and you will have what you ask for…’ and His statement (Quran 43:71): ‘And therein is whatever the souls desire and whatever delights the eye, and you will abide therein forever.’ Based on this, if a woman is going to Al-Jannah and she has never been married, or her husband is not going to Al-Jannah, when she enters Paradise there will also be men who never married, and they will have wives from Al-Hûr (maidens of Paradise), and they will have wives from the women of Earth if they so desire. And we say the same regarding the woman who had no husband, or who had a husband on Earth but he is not going to Paradise with her: if she desires to be married, she must get what she desires because of the general meaning of the verse quoted.

   Allâh knows best.

   @ honey
   If you mean by "to herself" that she does not have to 'share' him with all his al-Hûr al-‘În then the answer is no, wAllaau a3lm. This sentiment is found in women in this dunya life, such as jealousy in polygyny. But please keep in mind that this mentality will not continue in Jannah.. Gheerah (jealousy) is taken from our hearts along with envy, greed, etc.. So no woman in Jannah would have a problem with that – in fact I imagine it's rather the opposite: you would inshAllah be proud of the number he has because it is demonstrative of how high a rank he has gained & reflects how good a muslim he was in this life. It may be hard to imagine now, but remember that it is ALL GOOD in Jannah, our perception of matters is different.. If your husband had hundreds & hundreds of wives in Jannah it does not affect YOU in any bad way.. You wouldn't be sad, angry, hurt, offended, insulted etc.. There is no negativity in Jannah, you would be happy for him & be happy yourself :O)

   If that was NOT what you meant by your question, then I hope that someone else may benefit, inshAllah! May ALLAH grant us al-Jannah, ameen.

   Masha Allah this truly made me happy with this knowledge.jazakAllah

    Assalamoalikum,
    what if a woman in jannah does not wish to be with her husband of duniya , n wishes otherwise? or she desires someone else.

11. Owais Al-Hashimi on November 30, 2009 08:46

    Wa alaykumus-salam,

    Allâh knows best, but I believe the answer to this is contained in previous comments: In Paradise, no one will be left regretting, fearing or wanting for anything, and what Allâh will give to the people of Paradise will be a perfect and ample reward. So even if a specific text does not mention the answer to your question, the general verses of the Quran about the reward of the people of Al-Jannah leaves no doubt in the heart as to the bliss its inhabitants will be on – both men and women, married or unmarried.

    Assalaamu alaykum wa Rahmatullaah,

    JAZAAKUMULLAAHU KHAIRAN. When i read in the comments above "remember that it is ALL GOOD in Jannah, our perception of matters is different" this bought tears to my eyes, SubhaanAllaah, how true that is… we get upset and forget about the REALITY… ALLAAHUL MUSTA'AAN. I feel i forget too often… may Allaah forgive me, ameen.

    allah save all muslims from jahannum

16. Abu Zaynab on June 20, 2011 15:24

    Assalamu Alaykum, I loved the quotation of our pious salaf which will surely encourage our sisters to do good for the hereafter. I was also wondering what is the authenticity of this saying from any hadith or Quran.

17. Abdullah on June 28, 2011 06:36

    As salamu alaykum

    Abu Zaynab's question still remains valid and unanswered and I think it should have been the first thing to ponder over right from the onset

18. Owais Al-Hashimi on June 28, 2011 10:32

    Wa alaykumus-salam,Question answered above. This opinion was mentioned, without knowing its specific proof, since it is based on the generally established principle of the more taqwa, iman and good deeds a person has, the better he/she is. It is not purely a matter of the unseen in which there is absolutely no room for ijtihad.Of course, if evidence to the contrary is brought forward, then that is what is relied upon.
