What the woman has in Paradise, in contrast to what the man has of the houris in Paradise.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner : ... .

The Shaykh : Yes?

The questioner : ... Many of the sisters say that you encourage and incite the young men to Paradise by mentioning the houris.

The Shaykh : So what is it for the women?

The questioner : So what is it for the women? Do the women have something corresponding to the houris in Paradise? How do we answer them with a satisfactory answer?

The Shaykh : The satisfactory answer is faith in Allah and His Messenger.

The questioner : Allahu Akbar.

The Shaykh : This question stems from...

Another questioner : Peace be upon you

The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
It stems from admiration for opinion and stems from distance from faith in Allah and His Messenger. This is like a woman saying, "Why did our Lord create me a woman to be ridden, and not create me a man who rides?" Is this what a believer says? This means a very serious matter. It is enough for this type of women to be reminded of the general text in the Noble Qur'an: in Paradise is that which no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no human heart has conceived. It is not supposed that men, let alone women, know the details of what Allah has stored for them of the eternal bliss in Paradise. It is not necessary for men, let alone women, for all of them to know what Allah has stored for the people of Paradise of the eternal bliss. It is enough for these women to be reminded that they meet the men in the greatest blessing enjoyed by the people of Paradise, which is their seeing their Lord therein. When they remember this blessing, it will overwhelm that trivial question which does not come from a person who thinks about this great blessing, which, if it were to occur for the believers in Paradise, men and women, they would forget the bliss of Paradise and what is in it.

The questioner : Allahu Akbar.

The Shaykh : And the truth is that this question stems from the mental and scientific emptiness of many women and men regarding some of the descriptions that came in detail in the authentic Sunnah, because when a person is saturated with some attributes of a self, he does not hope to know another attribute in that self.
I present this word for the hadith of 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), which the Imam Muslim narrated in his Sahih. He said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
I know the last man to come out of the people and the last man to enter Paradise. A man comes out of the Fire crawling... إني لأعرف آخر رجل يخرج من الناس وآخر رجل يدخل الجنة رجل يخرج من النار يحبو حبوا ...
The hadith is long, and as long as the food is present now, I will conclude it with its end, which is that this one who was the last to come out of the Fire and the last to enter Paradise came out of the Fire crawling, and he was like a black coal, unable to walk properly as Allah had created him before. This is when he reached the gate of Paradise. This is a summary of the story. Allah said to him, "Enter Paradise, and for you in it is like the world and ten times its weight. For you in Paradise is like the world and ten times its weight."
It does not enter the mind of this poor man, burned by the Fire, that he would have in Paradise like the world and ten times its weight. He says, "O Lord, are You mocking me, and You are the Lord?" The Messenger laughs, and the narrator of the hadith from the Messenger laughs, and each one of these levels is asked why he did not laugh? He said, "When the servant said to the Lord, 'Are You mocking me, and You are the Lord?' the Lord laughed, so the Messenger laughed, so Ibn Mas'ud laughed, and so on."
So whoever remembers this blessing among the women and men, is there still room for such a question? But it is the mental and scientific poverty that opens the way for these truly poor and wretched people to raise such a trivial, cold question that has no value. And please, O ... and you.

Another questioner : ... Because ... in this world, the hearts of its people are not constituted for the trials, and so on, but in the Hereafter
And We will have removed whatever is within their breasts of resentment ونزعنا ما في صدورهم من غل
[Al-A'raf 7:43]


The Shaykh : ... And I also wanted to say, Subhan Allah, but ... I say something and it is not this.
I wanted to say that the degrees in the Gardens are varied.

The questioner : Subhan Allah ... .

The Shaykh : ... And as came in some hadiths that the lowest degree sees from above as we see ... the horizon of the sky. So is there any hardship in their breasts? No. Likewise for the women. May Allah reward you with good.

Another questioner: Our ShaykhAbu Layla : ... He holds us back ... holding for the time of decision.

The Shaykh : Is it with truth or with falsehood?

Another questioner : By Allah, he will tell you this is in ... .
Abu Layla : ... A volunteer.

The Shaykh : is it

Another questioner : O our Shaykh, may Allah reward you with good for what you presented now in this tape regarding the question of our brother Abu Anas about plural marriage, and by Allah's will there is no power except by Allah.

The Shaykh : Of course, plural marriage is not the parties.

Another questioner : May Allah reward you with good. Plural marriage, yes. Your speech, always, praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, you place, as you say, the dots on the letters, and praise be to Allah. So we ask Allah, Mighty and Majestic, by His favor and generosity, to guide us and you always to the truth and the right path.

The Shaykh : Amen.
