Introduction to the maidens Of Jannat.
The two types of women in Jannat are;
1. Human woman;
The first type is the human woman of the world who will be re-created according to the beauty of Jannat. Allah ~
says;
"We created them as a new creation. And we made them virgins, loving to their husbands, equal in age."
Allah will make old women into young women and non-virgins into virgins. No matter how their appearance was in this world, Allah ~ will make them all beautiful and good-looking in accordance to the beauty of Jannat.
What will a woman of this world receive in Jannat?
Mufti Mahmud was asked that if men will receive hurs, what will women receive? He replied that the wives of the believers will stay with their own husbands.
Women who never married in this world will be given a choice to get married with any (unmarried) man they
wish. If they do not like any of them, a special man will
be created for them (similar to the hurs) and Allah
will join both of them in marriage.
Allamah Almusi also mentions in his tafsir that a person's wife in this
(56:35-37)
, (Safwatut Tafi'isif 3/309 - Darul Qalam, Beirut).
This world will remain his wife in the hereafter. The love
between a Muslim husband and wife is a true love
because it will last forever.
Superiority of the human women over the hurs.
Ummu Salamah narrates that she said to
Rasulullah "RaSullullah, are the women of this
world superior or the hurs?" He replied, "The women of
this world will have superiority over the hurs just as the
outer lining of a garment has superiority over the inner
lining.
"Ummu Salamah then asked, "0 Rasulullah,
what is the reason for this?" He answered, "Because
they performed salah, fasted, and worshipped [Allah].
Allah will put light on their faces and silk on their
bodies. [The human women] will be fair in complexion
and will wear green clothing and yellow jewelry. Their
incense-burners will be made of pearls and their combs
will be of gold. They will say,
'We are the women who
will stay forever and we will never die. We are the
women who will always remain in comfort and we will
never undergo difficulty. We are the women who will
stay and we will never leave. Listen, we are happy
20 (RClhulMan125/ 136 - Dar Ihya At-Tawrath AI-A'rabi, Beirut)
~~~~~~~~~~==~====~~=======~~~~~===--~-.
We are women and we will never become sad. Glad tidings to
those men for whom we are and who are for us.'
