Reward for Women in Paradise
Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the Worlds; and blessings and peace be
upon our Prophet Muhammad and upon all his Family and Companions.
Allah has set up for His believing servants men and women alike the
Paradise. He says:
{But give glad tidings to those who believe and
work righteousness, that their portion is gardens} [1:25].
He made ready for them everlasting comfort and happiness along with a
continuous pleasure that does not cease. Allah says:
{There
are all that the souls could desire, all that the eyes could delight in
and you shall abide therein (for aye)}. [43:70].
Allah also says:
{Now, no person knows what delight of the eyes
are kept hidden-in reserve- for them as a reward for their (good)
deeds}. [32:16].
So anyone who does righteous things –be a male or female- and who is a
believer will be rewarded with the Paradise. Allah says:
{whoever
works righteousness, man or woman and has faith, verily to him will we
give a life that is good and pure, and we will bestow on such their
reward according to the best of their actions}.[16:96].
He will be given the good life during this life and the reward during
the Hereafter. Among this comfort are the beautiful Paradise women.
Allah says:
{And there will be companions with beautiful
big and lustrous eyes. Like unto pearls well guarded}. [56:22].
this comfort is set up for men. As for the woman, they will be the wives
for their husbands in this life. If the woman had in this life more than
one husband she will in the Hereafter either stays with the one who had
the best behavior or with the last one she got married to. It is said in
a sound Hadith that Mu'awiya proposed to marry um-Darda. She said: “I
heard Prophet Muhammad (Blessings and peace of Allah be upon him)
saying:
“the woman is for her last husband”
and I don’t like anybody more than Abu-Darda”.
As for the women who never got married during This life, Allah will give
them husbands or let them choose among the men in Paradise who died
before getting married or whose wives didn’t enter the Paradise with
them because they died unbelievers or deserved to be punished for a
period of time.
Allah
knows best.
