Question

I would be grateful if you could answer the above. Jazakallah khair

Answer

In Jannat there are many types of bounties and rewards. Additionally, one%0D%0Ashould bear in mind that Allah Ta'ala has promised different bounties in%0D%0AParadise for different categories of people as well as for different deeds.%0D%0AThis ayah outwardly addresses the males of this ummah and promises them%0D%0AHoors in the Hereafter. Consequently, a Muslima will not be adversely%0D%0Aaffected when her pious husband is endowed with a Hoor. It is explicitly%0D%0Amentioned in the Holy Qura'n that :%0D%0Aa) Allah Ta'ala shall remove from the hearts and minds of the inmates of%0D%0AParadise any rancour, malice, jealousy or sense of injury. [See 15:47]%0D%0Ab) The Believing wife and children will be joined with their Believing%0D%0Ahusband%2F father in Paradise. [See 52:21]%0D%0AFrom the above one can safely conclude that a Muslima will not be deprived%0D%0Aof her husband's company in paradise.%0D%0AFurther it is mentioned in a lengthy Hadith that Rasulullah%0D%0ASallallaahu-alaihi-wasallam was asked a similar question one day by one of%0D%0Ahis wives. He consoled her by explaining that the believing woman of this%0D%0Aworld will be far more beautiful and attractive than the Hoors. This will be%0D%0Adue to the excessive ibaadah that they (the woman of this world) had%0D%0Aperformed.%0D%0A%0D%0Aand Allah Ta'ala Knows Best%0D%0A%0D%0AMufti Ebrahim Desai
