Men get Hoor Al’Een in Jannah But what do woman get??!!
Written By Asma Binte Shameem, Edited by PrinXess *IM*
Most of the time, sisters and even Non muslim females do ask: Men get Hoor Al’Een in Jannah….But what about us women…….what do we get??!!
My dear sisters…..first of all Jannah and Jahannum (and Hoor Al’Een, for that matter) and all what happens in them are matters of the Hereafter. These are a part of the realm of the Unseen of which we have very limited perception. Such matters are beyond our understanding and cannot be known by reasoning and thinking and we have really no knowledge of these things except what the Quraan and the authentic Sunnah tell us.
All we do is to believe in such matters of the Unseen, while remembering that its realities are known only to Allaah.
And actually, one should not really get into the details or indulge in discussions of the matters of the unseen without knowledge, because there is really no benefit in that. Rather if such a question comes up, we should say Allaah knows best.
As Allaah says:
“And follow not (i.e., say not, or do not, or witness not) that of which you have no knowledge. Verily, the hearing, and the sight, and the heart of each of those ones will be questioned (by Allaah)” (Surah al-Isra’ :36)
And, dear sister, from whatever limited knowledge we do have about Jannah that Allaah and His Messenger (sal Allaahu Alayhi wa Sallam) have informed us, there are a few points that we, as believing women, should remember, when questions such as these pop up in our heads.
1. Allaah is Most-Just and the Most-Merciful
The first and foremost thing to remember is that this is Allaah, Rab ul Aalameen we are talking about here.
Subhaan Allaah.
Remember that He is ar-Rahmaan ar-Raheem, the One who is Just and there is no one more just than Him…. And He is the One who is Fair and there is no one who is more fair than Him!!
He will never ever let you down or be unfair to you. If He has promised the men of Jannah Hoor Al’Een, then surely He will give the believing women of Jannah something equally pleasing too. There is no way that He will favor the men over the women, aoodhu billaah. Subhaanahu wa Ta’ala.
“If any do deeds of righteousness, be they male or female, and have faith, they will enter Jannah, and not the least injustice will be done to them.” (Surah an-Nisa:124)
2. Allaah created men and women differently
Another thing to remember is that what pleases women may be different from what pleases men. And everybody knows that. So wouldn’t He, Who created us in the first place know that better than anybody else?
“Shall He who has created (all things) not know? He is the Subtle, the Aware.” (Surah Mulk: 14)
So have this firm belief in Him, and have blind trust in Him, Subhaanahu Wa Ta’ala….He, who knows us women and our nature best and He, who will give the women of Jannah whatever will please her the best.
“Therein you shall have (all) that your inner-selves desire” (Surah Fussilat:31-32)
Woman are strong temptation for man, than a man for woman
Who is going to disagree with the fact that man are more inclined toward woman, more attracted toward feminine beauty, and have more attraction to lust and hunger for sex – if we use plain words. It is just natural what Allah created, even the scientific facts prove this. The basic body desires are just Natural, on which no one is to be blamed,
The Prophet (sall-Allaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said:
“Watch out for this worldly life (safeguard yourself from its temptation) guard yourself from the allurement of women. Verily, the first trial for the people of Israel was caused by women.” (Reported by Muslim)
He also said: “After me I have not left any affliction more harmful to men than women.” [As men are tempted most by woman than any other worldly material which lead them to ultimate fitnah]
“O young men, those among you who can support a wife should marry, for it restrains eyes from casting (evil glances) and protects the private parts from adultery; but those who cannot should keep on fasting for it is a means of controlling sexual desire.” [Agreed upon]
Yet Islam says men to control them selves and ordered them strictly to lower their gaze and guard their private parts, Those who obey the Lord will definitely got to heaven InshaAllah, and may get hoor al-ayen in reward of their patience and steadfastness in this world inshaAllah.
Tell the believing men to lower their gaze (from looking at forbidden things), and protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts). That is purer for them. Verily, Allâh is All-Aware of what they do. [An-Noor 24:30]
“Such is the Paradise which We shall give as an inheritance to those of Our slaves who have been Al-Muttaqoon (the pious)”[Maryam 19:63]
“But as for him who feared standing before his Lord, and restrained himself from impure evil desires and lusts. Verily, Paradise will be his abode” [al-Naaz’i’aat 79:40-41]
4. In Jannah the righteous woman will be married to her husband and she will be pleased with that
Allaah will marry the believing women to their husbands of the dunya if they were righteous and make them pleased with that. That IS what they would desire. They wouldn’t want any one else.
And if a woman did not get married during her worldly life, or if her husband was not from the people of Jannah, then Allaah will marry her to one of the believing men in Jannah. The women will live with their husbands and children and families in their own realms in Paradise, and they will be so content with that.
“Gardens of perpetual bliss: they shall enter there, as well as the righteous among their fathers, their spouses, and their offspring.” (Surah ar-Ra`d: 23)
“Enter the Garden, you and your wives, you will be made glad. There will be brought round for them trays of gold and goblets, and therein is all that the souls desire and eyes find sweet and you will stay there forever. This is the garden, which you are made to inherit because of what you used to do. Therein for you is fruit in plenty whence to eat.” (Az-Zukhruf 43: 70-73)
Ibn Katheer said: “ they (the women of Jannah) lower their gaze and avoid looking at men other than their husbands, so they do not think that there is anything in Paradise that is more handsome than their husbands. This was stated by Ibn ‘Abbaas, Qataadah, ‘Ata’ al-Khuraasaani and Ibn Zayd. And it was narrated that one of them will say to her husband: By Allaah I do not think that there is anything in Paradise finer than you, or that there is anything in Paradise dearer to me than you; praise be to Allaah Who has made you for me and made me for you.” (Tafseer al-Qur’aan al-‘Azeem).
5. In Jannah there will be no jealousy
Remember,my sister, that life in Jannah will be nothing like life here in this world. It is a different world that has nothing in common with this world except names only; the realities of things are completely different.
Pleasures and feelings that we experience here in this life will be experienced in a different and much better and purer way. We will eat and drink but there will be no filth or dirt. Our bodies will not excrete wastes nor will we grow old. And not only our physical bodies, but our psychology and nature will be different also.
“And We shall remove from their chest any (mutual) hatred or sense of injury….” (Surah al-A’raaf:43)
The Prophet (sal Allaahu Alayhi wa Sallam) said:
“The first group to enter Paradise will look like the moon when it is full. They will not spit or blow their noses or defecate therein. Their vessels and combs will be of gold and silver, their incense burners will be of aloeswood and their sweat will be musk. Each of them will have two wives, the marrow of whose calves will be visible from beneath the flesh because of their beauty. There will be no dissent or enmity among them and their hearts will be as one, and they will glorify Allaah morning and evening.” (al-Bukhaari, Muslim)
He also said: “they will not envy one another.” (Bukhaari)
So even if the men will have Hoor Al’Een, we will not be jealous. Yes, it seems hard at this time, but it is just as hard to imagine eating and drinking without any excretion, although it is surely true. So rest assured…there will be love and peace and no jealousy.
Besides, think about it….Isn’t the One capable of making you the way you are in this world with all your jealousy and the other ‘womanly’ feelings, capable of making you without jealousy in the Hereafter??!! Of course He is!
6. Men have to strive hard in deen for Jannah, while For woman Allah made so many easy rewards:
What else u need sister when Allah subhana wa’tala made jannah easier for you
The Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “The woman who dies in pregnancy or childbirth is a martyr.” Narrated by Abu Dawood, 3111; classed as saheeh by al-Nawawi in Sharh Muslim, 13/62. And he said: the one who dies in childbirth, i.e., she dies with something (the child) inside, not separated from her.
He also said, Woman giving Birth to many child will be rewarded more.
Hadith no: 595 Narrated / Authority Of: Aisha (the mother of the faithful believers) I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! We consider Jihad as the best deed.” The Prophet said, “The best Jihad (for women) is Hajj Mabrur.”Rejoice, O sister, the believing women will be better than the Hoor Al’Een
Read the quote below, my sister, and rejoice!
“The situation of the believing woman in Jannah 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 honor 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 said regarding this matter:
“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).
Logically speaking……Wouldn’t you rather be beautiful??
When we look at ourselves and our nature, we realize Allaah’s infinite Wisdom and Justice in the way He has created us. It is in our very nature that most of us women are generally pleased with and devoted to only one man.
Ask yourself this or any woman out there you know, this question and you would know what I mean. Ask them….
“What would you rather be……be extremely beautiful with one loving husband or be ordinary looking with several husbands??!!
I am sure there will not be very many women out there who would pick the second choice…!!!
We have no right to question to Allaah
Actually, if you think about it, we have no right to question Allaah in whatever He does, how He does it and when He does it. We should not question Allaah’s wisdom in making us in the nature we are now or in re-creating us in the nature we will have in the future. We know that He is generous and merciful, and we have to trust Him.
He is All-Wise, All-Knowing. He is the Just and He knows Best.
AND, for arguments sake, EVEN IF, in His Infinite Wisdom, Allaah chooses to give men Hoor Al’Een and the women absolutely nothing, so be it. Know firmly, in your heart and believe unshakably in your mind, that, this is what was better for you. Know that He will NEVER be unfair to you and He will give you ONLY and ONLY if He pleases. And He will withhold from you, ONLY and ONLY if you deserve it.
Where is our trust in the Almighty??
The real focus
Instead of worrying about what Allaah has promised men and competing with them, we should focus on how to serve Him and worship Him better. We should try to improve our relationship with Him so that we may hope for His generous reward and forgiveness, so that out of His Mercy, He may enter us in Jannah.
Think about it, sister, if we learn all the details of what life in Jannah will be like and what rewards women will get, but fail to worship and serve Him the way He and His Messenger have taught us to…. then our knowledge is pretty useless, isn’t it…?
If you are among those women who leave this world having won the pleasure of Allaah, then good news to you, my sister. When you enter Jannah you will have delights and pleasures such as no eye has seen, no ear has heard and no mind has ever imagined. You will have all that you wish for in the best of ways. You will be more beautiful than you can ever imagine, with a status higher than you can ever conceive and happier than you have ever been, content with your husband and family. Everything that you will ask for will be granted, and everything that you long for, you will get. You will never find anything to upset or disturb you, or make you jealous for you will be in the care of the Most Generous, Most Merciful.
What more could you ask for….????

A true muslim, man or woman should first follow Allah’s SWT and Hazrat Muhammad’s (SAWW) teachings. If they are true muslims, they should not worry of what they will get in the hereafter. Whatever they get will be too good for them to understand right now. We should pray to Allah SWT and perform the good deeds and be the good Muslims we can be. The rewards will definitely follow you now and in the hereafter Inshallah. At the moment we should try to make this world a better place by following Hazrat Muhammad’s teachings which were given to him by Allah SWT. If that happens, everything will work in a correct and smooth manner.

This article is being written by a man that’s why he has no definite answer for a woman. No matter how many (irrelevant) ayats you present, the fact remains that Islam gives lower status to women than men! Why else would it give all preferences to men and urges women to be their slaves forever?
Jannah presents nothing new to it’s dwellers other than the material things they strived for in the world (gold, silver, sex etc). How else do you think the Hoors serve their male masters other than sex? It’s pathetic and presents itself as no different a place than a brothel !
Islam teaches you to accept and be blindly satisfied with things you should never try to understand, which totally dismisses the objective of “Aqal”..

if SHE has no definate answer it may be because The Most Merciful did not make it crystal clear fo reasons best known to him.My reply henceforth is based on the assumption that you are muslim.A muslims faith rests heavily on the belief that everything is by the wil of Allah and that he knows best.Islam has not given a lower status to women but wallahi even if it had a true muslimah would not question why but strive to please her creator anyway.your name ‘not a blind believer” puts across a very doubtfull and inquistive person,islam has warned you against that!! but if you want to continue quetioning why not start with why we are all referred to as slaves of Allah in the Quran,why just zero in on women being put at the level of slaves in islam.if you accept you are a slave of Allah you should have no problem being a slave to whomever your Master would want you to slave for(this does not mean i agree with your descibing women as mens eternal slaves).as for your description of jannah,subhanalah,only a person deficient on its knowledge would write that!That aqal you want to use you should also remember is a blessing,it would beat logic if you dared use it to question Its Bestower.Finally i hope this ayat does your aqal some good. “The example of those who disbelieve is like that of one who shouts at what hears nothing but calls and cries cattle or sheep – deaf, dumb and blind, so they do not understand.” Surat Al-Baqarah(2:171)

By the comments you have made, You are obviously not a believer.Women are NOT the slaves of men in Jannah.They are companions and spouses to each other.
Also the quality of material life e.g. gold, silver, is MUCH better in Jannah than it is in Dunya. And comparing having sexual relations with the Hoors as no different than a brothel degrades the people of Jannah, for in that case they are having sexual relations with their lawful mates, whereas a brothel a brothel is immoral and illicit!
Islam does encourage people to use their “Aqal”, but also encourages people to have faith in the ‘Unseen’, e.g. the Angels, Jannah, Hell etc.

I am a born again Christian, praise God. HouSehold I believe some things in Islam are of quality the idea of God gifting men with countless women in Heaven a very strange concept of God Almighty. And certainly a very negative view of God’s love and respect for women. The question to ponder would be why God would allow Heaven to be filled with carnal lust when it is sin on earth? This is certainly why the world views this religion as degrading to women…I hear men happy for this concept,yet, yet I don’t hear them say they want to spend eternity with their wife who spent her years loving him?

When God forbids something in this world, He forbids it because he knows it will harm us. In Paradise, the reasons that these things were forbidden for will not be applicable so there is no meaning that they are still considered as sins. For example, drinking wine is forbidden in this world but this will not be the case in Paradise, why? Because wine will not get people drunk in Paradise but people will enjoy its taste without getting drunk (Of course it cannot be compared with wine in this world).
