Answer 3

WOW- great answers, people! (sarcasm)

Okay, as a Muslim woman giving this answer, here's the Islamic response to this question (which was a valid question by the way- many Muslim women want to know what paradise has to offer for us as well!):

First I want to start off by saying that in paradise, not all Muslim men will have 72 wives.  Secondly, there is nothing but joy and happiness in Paradise, and there is no room for hatred in the hearts of the people of Paradise. Paradise is the place where God honors people, and there is no evil or envy there.

No woman will be unmarried in Paradise. Every woman will have a husband, and there will be no single people in Paradise.  

(This comes from the hadith narrated that Abu Hurayrah: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: “…there will be no one in Paradise who is unmarried.” Hadith by Muslim 2834).

Both women and men will get everything they wish for in Paradise.

In Paradise, spouses will be content with each other, they will be beautiful and will love one another, a love that does not desire anyone else.

But non-Muslims, please know that the Muslim view of Paradise isn't all sexual!  Yes, there will be all kinds of pleasures (physical included), but that's not all there is to it!!!

There is MUCH more to Paradise and what God has told us of its delights, (being surrounded by gardens beneath which rivers flow, reclining on chairs and being in the company of believers & reunited with family members, eating delicious food, fruits, drinks, etc), and it's important to keep in mind that a lot of its realities are known only to God.

"For Muslim men and women,- for believing men and women, for devout men and women, for true men and women, for men and women who are patient and constant, for men and women who humble themselves, for men and women who give in Charity, for men and women who fast, for men and women who guard their chastity, and for men and women who engage much in Allah's praise,- for them has Allah prepared forgiveness and great reward."

(interpretation of Qur'an 33:35 - note how God made a point to mention both men AND women about 10 times in this verse)

But, I want to emphasize that the BIGGEST blessing of all in Paradise, for BOTH men and women, will be to see God/Almighty Allah <3

"The Believers, men and women, are protectors one of another: they enjoin what is just, and forbid what is evil: they observe regular prayers, practise regular charity, and obey Allah and His Messenger. On them will Allah pour His mercy: for Allah is Exalted in power, Wise.

Allah hath promised to Believers, men and women, gardens under which rivers flow, to dwell therein, and beautiful mansions in gardens of everlasting bliss. But the GREATEST bliss is the good pleasure of Allah: that is the supreme felicity."

(Qur'an 9:71-72)

Answer 12

1. h**r mentioned in the Qur’an

The word h**r occurs in the Qur’an in no less than four different places:

(1)   In Surah Dukhan chapter 44, verse 54

"Moreover, We shall join them to companions

With beautiful, big and lustrous eyes."

[Al-Qur’an 44:54]

(2)   In Surah Al-Tur chapter 52 verse 20

"...And We shall join them to companions, with beautiful,

big and lustrous eyes."

[Al-Qur’an 52:20]

(3)  In Surah Rahman chapter 55 verse 72

"Companions restrained (as to their glances), in goodly pavilions."

[Al-Qur’an 55:72]

(4)   In Surah Al-Waqiah chapter 56 verse 22

"And (there will be) companions with beautiful, big and lustrous eyes."

[Al-Qur’an 56:22]

2. h**r Translated as Beautiful Maidens

Many translators of the Qur’an have translated the word h**r as ‘beautiful maidens’ especially in the Urdu translations. If h**r means ‘beautiful maidens’ or girls, then they are meant only for the men. Hence, what will the women get if they enter Paradise?

3. Meaning of h**r

The word h**r is actually the plural of ahwar (applicable to man) and of haura (applicable to woman) and signifies a person having eyes characterized by hauar a special quality bestowed upon a good soul, male or female in paradise and it denotes the intense whiteness of the white part of the spiritual eye.

The Qur’an describes in several other verses that in paradise you will have azwaj which mean a pair or spouse or companion which means you will have spouses or companions pure and holy (mutaharratun means pure, holy).

"But give glad tidings to those who believe and work righteousness, that their portion is gardens, beneath which rivers flow. Every time they are fed with fruits therefrom, they say: "Why, this is what we were fed with before", for they are given things in similitude; and they have therein companions pure (and holy); and they abide therein (forever)".

[Al-Qur’an 2:25]

"But those who believe and do deeds of righteousness, We shall soon admit to Gardens, with rivers flowing beneath – their eternal home; therein shall they have companions pure and holy: we shall admit them to shades, cool and ever deepening". [Al-Qur’an 4:57]

Therefore the word h**r has no specific gender. Mohammad Asad has translated the word h**r as spouse and Abdullah Yusuf Ali as companion. Therefore according to some scholars a man in paradise will have a h**r that is a beautiful maiden with beautiful big and lustrous eyes and a woman in paradise will get a man with beautiful big and lustrous eyes.

4.     Women will get something exceptional in Paradise

Many scholars say that in context, the word h**r used in the Qur’an refers only to ladies since gents are addressed. A reply that would be accepted by all types of people would rather be the answer given in the Hadith when a similar question was posed that if a man gets a h**r, a beautiful Maiden in Paradise, then what will the women get? The reply was that the women will get that which the heart has not desired for, the ear hasn’t heard off and the eye hasn’t seen, indicating that even the women will get something exceptional in Paradise.

Answer 13

Peace and quite.  

Answer 14

I've always wondered that too. What a patriarchal reward. Maybe they get to serve the men after they have s*x with the 72 virgins.

Answer 15

They get to have childbirth forever, that's what they taught us in world history

Answer 16

they get to become men.

Answer 17

their Virginity back?

Answer 18

They get to go to h**l

Answer 19

72 virgins to take care of their husband so they don't have to. That's my guess anyway.

Answer 20

apparently yes  not something I would want  I think it says  will have virgins ( of the opposite s*x)

Answer 21

Peace and blessings be upon you.

This depend if this muslim woman was good or bad , according to her sins and her work ,she will be in the h**l for time then moved to the heaven.

and in the heaven ,we will find all what we like , and none is sad there, so we don't worry.

some women like jewelary more than s*x.

Answer 22

Peace and quiet......
