The state of the believing woman in the Hereafter if she dies and has not married

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
If a believing woman dies and has not married afterward, what is her fate in Paradise? Because if a believing woman dies and she has a husband, she will be with her husband in Paradise, and if she has two husbands, she will be given the choice between them. So, what will be the fate in Paradise of the believing woman who dies and has not married yet?

If she did not marry, Allah will make for her a husband:
Indeed, We have produced the women of Paradise in a [new] creationإِنَّا أَنشَأْنَاهُنَّ إِنشَاءً
[al-Waqi'ah: 35]
and made them virginsفَجَعَلْنَاهُنَّ أَبْكَاراً
[al-Waqi'ah: 36]
companions of equal ageعُرُباً أَتْرَاباً
[al-Waqi'ah: 37] Allah will make for her a husband from among the people of Paradise.

But perhaps you will say to me: Do we not say in the funeral supplication: (O Allah, replace her husband with a better one than her husband), and this supplication is problematic;Because if she was married, how do we say: (O Allah, replace her husband with a better one than her husband), and if she was not married, where is her husband?The answer to this is that we say: Our saying: (Replace her husband with a better one than her husband) in the case where she was not married,The meaning is: means a better one than the husband destined for her had she remained, and as for if she was married, the meaning of it being better than her husband is: better than him in attributes in this world;Because the replacement is: 1- By replacing the entities, as if you sold a sheep for a camel, for example.
٢-And it is by replacing the attributes, as if you said: Allah replaced this man's disbelief with faith,And as in the saying of Allah the Exalted:
[It will be] on the Day the earth will be replaced by another earth, and the heavens [as well]يَوْمَ تُبَدَّلُ الْأَرْضُ غَيْرَ الْأَرْضِ وَالسَّمَاوَاتُ
[Ibrahim: 48] and the earth is the earth; but it was expanded, and the heavens are the heavens; but they were split.
