Do women have spouses in Paradise?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : We know that men in Paradise have the houris among the women, so what do women have?
The Shaykh : They have their men; every woman is with her husband. Allah the Exalted said:[Ghafir 40:8] And He the Exalted said: [At-Tur 52:20-21].
As for the one who did not marry, Allah will make it easy for her to have a husband from among the children of Adam, whether they married or did not marry. Then, Paradise contains every kind of bliss, including what souls desire and what is pleasing to the eyes. So this question is asked only out of ignorance; otherwise, Paradise contains what souls desire, and there is no sadness in it and no fatigue, neither physical fatigue nor mental fatigue. So the woman should be reassured, and the whole matter is that she enters Paradise. Once she enters Paradise, she obtains everything.
The Shaykh : They have their men; every woman is with her husband. Allah the Exalted said:
Our Lord, and admit them to gardens of perpetual residence which You have promised them and whoever was righteous among their fathers, their spouses and their offspring
رَبَّنَا وَأَدْخِلْهُمْ جَنَّاتِ عَدْنٍ الَّتِي وَعَدتَّهُمْ وَمَن صَلَحَ مِنْ آبَائِهِمْ وَأَزْوَاجِهِمْ وَذُرِّيَّاتِهِمْand We will marry them to fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes. (21) And those who believed and whose descendants followed them in faith - We will join with them their descendants, and We will not deprive them of anything of their deeds.
وزوجناه بحور عين وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَاتَّبَعَتْهُمْ ذُرِّيَّتُهُمْ بِإِيمَانٍ أَلْحَقْنَا بِهِمْ ذُرِّيَّتَهُمْ وَمَا أَلَتْنَاهُمْ مِنْ عَمَلِهِمْ مِنْ شَيْءٍAs for the one who did not marry, Allah will make it easy for her to have a husband from among the children of Adam, whether they married or did not marry.
