The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: In the Book of Allah the Exalted, the descriptions of the women of Paradise are mentioned in many places in the great Qur'an, to encourage men with what Allah has prepared for the people of Paradise, whereas Allah the Exalted did not mention in His Book the descriptions of the men in Paradise. What is the wisdom behind that?
The Shaykh:
The wisdom behind that is that the spouses are also a blessing for the wives; their eyes are pleased with them, and their eyes are pleased with them. Therefore, [they are] women who keep their eyes lowered, content with their husbands, not looking at anyone else because of his beauty, his handsomeness, and his love. So Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, [provides] pleasure for both parties, for both parties, in this world and in the Hereafter. Yes.

(14) Beautified for people is the love of that which they desire - of women and sons, heaped-up sums of gold and silver, fine branded horses, and cattle and tilled land. That is the enjoyment of worldly life, but Allah has with Him the best return. (15) Say, "Shall I inform you of [something] better than that? For those who fear Allah will be gardens in the presence of their Lord beneath which rivers flow, wherein they abide eternally, and purified spouses and approval from Allah. And Allah is Seeing of [His] servants -
