Beautiful Women

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
In the Name of Allah, Most Merciful, Most Compassionate
Assalaamu alaykum

Dear Friends

I pray that you are well.

What is told about Paradise is only an approximation, indescribable in worldly terms. What we can imagine of Jannah is a small fraction of the real thing. Everything will be a new pleasurable experience in Jannah, nothing we can comprehend in this life. May Allah grant us the highest Paradise.

Every women in Paradise are beautiful. The Prophet, Allah bless him and grant him peace, mentioned about the beauty of the women of Paradise.

...If one of the women of Paradise appeared to the people of the earth, she would fill the space between Heaven and the Earth with light and pleasant scent and her head cover is better than the world and whatever is in it.
[Bukhari]

The wives of men in Paradise are so beautiful that it was said by one of the scholars who wrote about Paradise, that the husband would stare at her for 40 years, just contemplating on her beauty.

This alone should put our short term in this life into perspective and start putting our acts together.

All this half naked women in flashy and tight clothing, and makeup and perfume that they wear thinking that they look beautiful and smell good, they are not going to be that beautiful women of Paradise. In fact, they are aiming for a great torment in the next world because the fitnah they have caused to men and families, intentionally or unintentionally, by the fact that they choose to expose what they are not supposed to expose and wear what they wear.

For men, lower your gaze...save your gaze for the women in Paradise, whether they be Hoorain or your wife from this world.

Marry someone who can help you get to Jannah because there is where the real pleasure is, for men as well as women. The pleasure here in this world is temporary and always coupled with pain, immediately or some time in the future.

A woman came to Khalifah Omar and told him that she did not love her husband. Omar then advised her about marriage -- that marriages are not established on love, that it is cooperation in this world, and then we are going to die.

Asma binti Abu Bakr came to her father and complained about her husband, Zubayr ibn Awwam (one of the 10 promised Paradise). Abu Bakr knew that Zubayr will have one of the highest status in Paradise and he wanted his daughter to be with him and he advised Asma to be patient because a woman who has a righteous husband and does not remarry after he dies, Allah will bring them together in Jannah.

Whatever we do, it is not all about this world. It is about our eternal life. Do we want to be companions of people of Paradise or people of Hellfire...we have to make the choice now.

May Allah save us from the fitnah of this world and forgive all our sins and shortcomings. Ameen.

Please don't forget us in your night prayers. Jazakallahu khairan.

And Allah knows best.
Wassalaam
