THE MAIDENS OF JANNA T 7 THE MAIDENS OF JANNAT
Foreword
The temporary life of this world is a great test for man.
Temptations are many and man is weak. The
possibilities of faltering and sinning are not remote. Of
all the temptations, the temptation relating to the
opposite sex is thc highest. If the sexual urge of man is
left unchecked and unregulated, there will be total
anarchy and mischief in the world. Therefore, Almighty
Allah ~ placcd various rcstrictions upon man in this
regard.
To control and rcgulatc lhis desirc, any limn of illicit
affiliation with the opposite scx is slriclly I()rhiddcn. To
maintain a high Icvel of moral ily, (Shllll has ordaincd
very strict laws and mallY restricIiOlls 10 ellrIaiI Ihc

the bestial self - of man. The 1/{{j.'V COllsl;lI11lyslTks

control the wild desires of the nafs is no easy lask. I[ C;III
be likened to riding a strong, wild horse. Eithcr the rider
will keep the horse in check with great effort or thc
horse will throw the rider off. This is the constant
struggle that exists between man and his desires in this
world. For the youth, the struggle is even more intense
and great.
For those people who restrain and control the desires of
the nafs in this world, Allah ~ has promised immense
rewards in the Akirah (hereafter). Man sometimes
forgets these rewards and becomes inclined to sin. If he
is reminded about these rewards, his resolve to control
the nafs becomes stronger and more vigorous. It
becomes easier to sacrifice the desires in view of these
great rewards of the Hereafter. Besides the promise of
these eternal rewards of the Hereafter, there is little that
can control the desires of man, especially the desires of
the youth.
In this book, some of the rewards of the Hereafter,
especially those relating to the gorgeous, celestial, wide-
eyed beauties - the hurs - of Jannat, have been Set out in
a clear and concise manner. By reading and pondering
about the bounties of Jannat and its beautiful virgins, the
youth will feel a renewed vigour to fight the carnal
desires and strive for the pleasure of Allah ~ by doing
righteous deeds. Furthermore, the beauty of the women
of this world will appear pale and insignificant before
the beauty of those stunning damsels of Jannat.
There is not much authentic literature on this specific
topic, and hence this book fulfills this requirement in a
captivating way. I would recommend every youngster to
acquire a copy of this book, to read it, and ponder over
its contents. May Allah ~ accept and reward the efforts
of MI. Abdullah Nana of the US in compiling this
beneficial book and may Allah ~ inspire him to produce
many beneficial writings in the future as well. Amin.

Introduction
Allah ~ has placed in every human being the natural
desire and inclination for gold, silver, money,
transportation (cars), land, and other items of this world.
The test for a person is how he responds to his desire for
these items. If he uses these items to prepare for the
hereafter, he will be successful. On the other hand, if he
devotes himself to fulfilling his desire for these items
and forgets about his purpose in this world, he will be
amongst the losers in the hereafter.
Similarly, Allah ~ has placed in every person the
natural desire for the opposite sex, and out of all the
desires found in a person, the greatest test for a Muslim
is how he fulfills this desire. He can either fail this test
by spending all his energy to unlawfully satisfy this
desire, or pass this test by remaining chaste and fulfilling
this desire lawfully through marriage. Rasulullah ~ said
regarding the severity of this test, "I have not left a more
harmful and severe temptation for men than women. ,,1
This test is even greater for us today because of the
generally evil environment in which we are living in. It
has become very easy to commit evil and it has become
somewhat difficult to do good deeds because of this
environment. As Rasulullah ~ predicted, holding on to
the commands of Allah ~ and staying away from evil
during this time has become like holding on to a burning
coal.
In order to motivate us to pass this test, it is very
important for u<; to know what is the reward for
controlling one's desires and staying away from evil. It
becomes very easy for a person to undergo difficulty and
hardship to carry out an action when he knows what
reward he will receive for doing this action. For
example, a person will happily go to work every day and
tire himself because he knows that he will receive his
paycheck at the end of the month. In the same way,
Allah ~ and his Rasul have given us a detailed
description of the reward for controlling one's desires in
this world, i.e. Jannat (paradise).
Jannat is a place where a person will have all that he
desires, and he will live a perfect (lad ever-lasting life.
Each pleasure of Jannat will be far more superior than
the comparable pleasure found in this world, and a
person will be able to completely fulfill his desire for
that pleasure. For example, a person in this world is
always drinking liquids to quench his thirst. No matter
how many delicious and tasty beverages he consumes, he
will always become thirsty again in a few hours. But, in
the hereafter, a person will be able to drink as much as
he desires and quench his thirst permanently.
Similarly, the women of Jannat will be far more superior
than the women of this world. Once a person comes to
know of this, it will become very easy for him to stay
away from evil and work towards the hereafter. This
book contains a detailed description of these women

The Maidens of Jannat (Paradise)
and other bounties in the li~ht of the
Quran and Ahadith
I (Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim)

10 THE MAIDENS OF JANNAT 11 THE MAIDENS OF JANNAT
based on the verses of the Qurfm, tafsir (explanation of
the Quran), Ahadith, and stories of the pious.
The purpose of this book is to motivate us to work
towards the hereafter and to control our desires in this
world through marriage. We should not read this book
as a fairy tale or a fantasy; rather we should understand
that the contents of this book are a reality for which we
should all work towards. It is our fundamental belief that
Jannat and Jahannam (hellfire) are already in existence
and a person will fulfill all his desires in Jannat both
physically and spiritually.
========================.","'~'"',""-----
The permissibility of using a weak hadith for
describing virtues of actions
The majority of the ahadith in this book are authentic
ahadith. However, I have also included weak ahadith
because thi~~is a topic related to virtues. The famous
Shafi' scholar, Imam Nawawi says in his introduction
to the 'arbain' (40 ahadith) that the scholars have agreed
on the permissibility of using weak Ahadith for
describing the virtues of actions.
Hafiz ibn Hajar has further fixed three conditions for
using weak ahadith. One is that the hadith must not be
very weak, i.e. at least one chain of narrators of this
hadith must be free from a narrator who is a liar, is
accused of lying, or is known for making great mistakes.
The second condition is that it should fit under a general
principle, which is established and acted upon. Finally,
the third condition is that the person acting upon this
hadith should not believe it to be established, but he
should exercise caution in this regard2•
Only those weak ahadith have been included in this
book, which meet these conditions. The classification of
the ahadith by the eminent scholars of hadith has been
included with the hadith in Arabic.

Abu Sai'd Khudri narrates that RasGlullah said that
Allah ~ will say to the people of Jannat, "0 people of
Jannat." They will answer, "0 our Lord, we are present
and all goodness is in your hands." Allah ~ will then say
to them, "Are you pleased?" They will say, "0 our Lord,
how could we not be pleased when You have given us
[those bounties] which You have not given to any of Your
creation?" Allah ~ will say, " Should I not give you
something better than all this?" They will say, " What can
be better than all this?" Allah will say, "I enter you into
My happiness and I will never become angry at you."

them, 'Do you want anything else?' They will say, 'Did
you not brighten our faces and enter us into Jannat? Did
you not save us from Jahannam?' Then, Allah ~ will
remove the veil and they will not be given anything more
beloved to them than the sight of their Lord. ,,4
A person will only be able to completely enjoy the
bounties of Jannat when he knows that the owner of
these bounties is pleased with him and will never
become angry with him. His enjoyment of these bounties
will increase when he knows that it is iplpossible for him
to lose them.

all the difficulties and pleasures of this world

Anas narrates that Rasu.lullah said, "On the Day of
Judgement, that dweller of Jahannam (hellfire) who had
lived the most luxurious life in this world will be
brought and he will be put in Jahannam for a second and
taken out. He will then be asked, '0 son of Adam, did
you ever experience any good? Did you ever experience
any comfort?' He will say, 'No, I swear by Allah, my
Lord.' Then, that dweller of Jannat who lived the most
difficult life in this world will be brought and he will put
in Jannat for a second and out. He will be asked, '0 son
of Adam, did you ever experience any difficulty? Did
you ever experience any hardship?' He will say, 'No, I
swear by Allah ~, my Lord. I never experienced any
hardship and I never experienced any difficulty. '" 5
This hadith gives us a comparison of the pleasures of
this world and the pleasures of the Jannat. A person who
enjoys the pleasures of Jannat for just once second will
forget all the pleasures and difficulties of this world.
Therefore, all of us should work towards those pleasures
which are everlasting.

Mustawrid narrates that Rasu.lullah said, "The
comparison of the world to the hereafter is like di~ping
your hand into the ocean and examining how much water
you have taken out from it. ,,6
In this hadith, Rasu.lullah has compared the pleasures
of this world with the pleasures of the hereafter using a
concrete example which we can understand. Otherwise,
the pleasures of this world are not even a drop in the
ocean compared to the pleasures of Jannat. This is
because the pleasures of Jannat will last forever, whereas
the pleasures of this world are temporary.
The pleasures of Jannat are un-imaginable

AbU. Hurayrah narrates that Rasu.lullah said that
Allah says, "I have prepared for my pious slaves [in
Jannat] those comforts which no eye has seen, no ear has
heard, and no human being has ever imagined. Recite if
you wish, "No person knows the joy which is hidden
from them. 7" ,,8
From this hadith we can understand that no one can fully
comprehend what Allah ~ has kept for us in Jannat. The
actual pleasures and bounties of Jannat will be far more
enjoyable than what we can imagine them to be.

you will receive is that Allah ~ will say to him, 'Wish

whatever he desires]. Thereafter, Allah ~ will say to
him, 'Have you wished [for whatever you desire]?' He
will say 'Yes.' Then Allah ~ will say to him,
'Definitely, you will receive double that which you had
desired. '" Abu Said said, "You will receive what you
desired and ten times thereof. ,,10
A person will receive everything that he ever desired in
Jannat and more.

Simak narrates that he met Abdullah ibn Abbas in
Madinah after he had lost his eyesight and he asked him,
"[Tell me about the] clothes of Jannat." Ibn Abbas
answered, "There is one tree in Jannat which will bear
fruit similar to a pomegranate. When a friend of Allah
will desire clothes, the tree will automatically present to
him 70 pairs of clothes, each with a different colour.
[After he has chosen what he desires,] the tree will
return back to its place. "II

the Jews and the Christians which discusses such a topic which
cannot be determined by a person's logic and deduction is equivalent
to a h·,d'l h which is directly from Rasulullah :i'ii.

take this because nothing will satisfy you.'" 15

appearance [temporarily]." 16

Chapter 4: Introduction to the maidens
of Jannat
The two types of women in Jannat
10 Human woman
The first type is the human woman of the world who will
be re-created according to the beauty of Jannat. Allah ~
says,
wI Lil w .Co lS..l .0.• ~.~& s:.t..:z..jl ,0LLlWu ul0.J" o~ -J 0 ~ , V1r
"We created them as a new creation. And we made them
virgins, loving to their husbands, equal in age." 17
Allah will make old women into young women and non-
virgins into virgins. No matter how their appearance was
in this world, Allah ~ will make them all beautiful and
good-looking in accordance to the beauty of Jannat. 18
What will a woman of this world receive in Jannat?
Mufti Mahmud was asked that if men will receive
hurs, what will women receive? He replied that the
wives of the believers will stay with their own husbands.
Women who never married in this world will be given a

wish. If they do not like any of them, a special man will

Umme Salamah narrates that she said to
Rasulull:lh "0 RaSlllullah, are the women of this
world superior or the hurs?" He replied, "The women of
this world will have superiority over the hurs just as the
outer lining of a garment has superiority over the inner
lining." Umme Salamah then asked, "0 RasUlullah,
what is the reason for this?" He answered, "Because
they performed salah, fasted, and worshipped [Allah].
Allah will put light on their faces and silk on their
bodies. [The human women] will be fair in complexion
and will wear green clothing and yellow jewelry. Their
incense-burners will be made of pearls and their combs
will be of gold. They will say, 'We are the women who
will stay forever and we will never die. We are the
women who will always remain in comfort and we will
never undergo difficulty. We are the women who will
stay and we will never leave. Listen, we are happy
20 (RClhulMan125/ 136 - Dar Ihya At-Tawrath AI-A'rabi, Beirut)
~~~~~~~~~~==~====~~=======~~~~~===--~-.
women and we will never become sad. Glad tidings to
those men for whom we are and who are for us.' ,,21
Allah will make the women of this world more
beautiful and attractive than the hurs. Wherever in this
book the 'women of Jannat' are mentioned, both th ~hurs
and the human women could be meant.
2, Hilrs
What is a hur?
The second type of women will be those celestial women
specially created for the people of Jannat known as the
hur a'yn. A hur is a young, beautiful, fair-skinned
woman with intensely dark eyes. Another interpretation
is that there will be a sharp contrast between the
whiteness and darkness of her eyes which is considered
to very beautiful. Or it could also mean that her beauty
will dumbfound and astonish others. The meaning of
a'yn is a woman with big, attractive eyes, which is also
considered a sign of beauty. 22
What will the hurs be made of?
The following is a narration of two Sahabah
(Companions of the Prophet),
6: W -.9 ~~ ~ LS-.9jA l~ -.9 01~j.I1 ()A ~I J~l ~
: rl-.9J~1 LS.ll::.).lkl~ -.9'~ ~I W -.9~u ~ -.9u-JI -.9(j.JJ~
(274
It is narrated from Ibn Abbas Anas Abu Salamah
and Mujahid that the hurs will be created from
saffron. Saffron is an orange-coloured product extracted
from a flower and it is used to add colour and flavour to
2 (Tab ranI)
n (Hadiyul Arwah 259 - Daru! Kutubu! A'raby, Beirut)

food. When the present creation of mankind (which is
created from sand) has the best of forms and beauty,
then you can imagine the beauty of women created from
saffron! 23
There will be no jealousy between co-wives
Another interpretation of the verse "equal in age" is that
the women of Jannat will all be equal in age, which will
ensure that they get along with one another and make the
believer's life peaceful. 24 It is normally the case in this
world that co-wives have quarrels and arguments which
make the husband's life miserable. However, in Jannat
there will not be any jealousy, malice, or hatred between
the people. A hadith in Sahih Bukhilri and Sahih Muslim
mentions that the hearts of the people of Jannat will be
one and there will not be any difference between them.
Allah ~ also says in this regard,
~ ()A ~ JJ..l..a .) La ts.j.i -J
"And we will take out all [mutual] hatred from their
hearts. ,,25
This will ensure that all of a person's wives will get
along and will never become jealous of one other.

Chapter 5: A description of the
adornments and external features of the
maidens of Jannat
Internal and external purity of the maidens of Jannat
Allah ~ says,
lH.llL. ~ ~ -J;;~ (!l-Jjl ~ ~ J
"And they will have pure wives in Jannat and they will
stay there forever. ,,26 Qatadah mentions that these
women will be pure from all external impurities such as
menstruation, urine, excreta, and saliva. They will also
be free from all evil internal qualities such as malice,
hypocrisy, swearing, evil character, etc. Thus, they will
not have within them the smallest amount of
disobedience to their husbands. 27
The lovely skin colour of the women of Jannat
Allah ~ says,
6~1 )3).UIJti..1S ~ JF- -J
"And they will have fair females with big, lovely eyes
who will be like hidden pearls. ,,28 The women of Jannat
will be like fresh pearls because of their cleanliness and
fair skin colour.
Allah ~ states in another verse,
6~~~1S
"[These women will be delicate and pure as if! they were
preserved eggs. ,,29
26 (2:25)
27 (Hadiyu1 Arwah pg. 257)
28 (56:22)
29 (37:49)

Allah ~ says,
Allamah Alusi explains that the verse refers to those
eggs which human hands have not yet touched, so they
are clean from any dirt or dust. In the same way, the
hurs will be clean and free of all impurities. The
comparison between the hurs and eggs is also made
because of the yellow-whitish colour of both, which is
known to be the most beautiful skin-colour for women.
Another explanation for this comparison is that the parts
of an egg are known for being perfectly proportioned
and conforming to one another. In the same way, all the
body parts and features of the hurs will go perfectly
together. 30
64-~1 J w~~1 ~LS
"[In beauty] these women are like rubies and small
pearls. ,,31
The comparison between the hurs and rubies is in
transparency. A person can see through a ruby and know
what is on the other side. In the same way, a person will
be able to see through the hurs because of the cleanliness
and delicate nature of their skin and body. Allah ~ has
also compared the hurs to small pearls because of their
softness, whiteness, and pleasant sight.32

Jannat is better that the world and all it contains. If one
woman of Jannat were to glance towards the earth, she
would fill the space between the earth and the sky with
light and perfume. The scarf on her head is better than
the world and all it contains. ,,33
If just a smal~ part of Jannat is better than the world and
all it contains, then how will the rest of Jannat and all its
pleasures be? Also, if just the scarf on the head of one
woman of Jannat is better than the world and all it
contains, then how valuable is the woman herself?

Ibn Abbas narrates that we were sitting with Ka 'b
one day and he said, "If the hand of one hur were to
dangle from the sky, the whiteness and the rings of the
hand would illuminate the earth just as the sun gives
light to the world. What I said was just regarding her
hand, so how beautiful will her white face be when it is
adorned with a crown, ruby, pearl and emerald? ,,35

person will recline and relax in Jannat for 70 years, or
on 70 cushions before he moves. Then a woman will
come and tap him on the shoulder. He will see his face
in her cheek as clear as a mirror. (This will be due to the
clearness of her face and its brightness). The smallest
pearl that she will be wearing will fill the space between
the east and west with light. She will greet him with
Salam and he will respond to her greeting. He will ask
her, 'Who are you?' She will answer, 'I am from the
extra.' (This is referring to a verse of the Quran which
says, "And we have more by Us [for the people of
35 (Ibn AbiDunya)
Jannat] ") She will be wearing 70 [different types of]
garments, and the lowest garment will be red and made
from a tree in Jannat. He will be able to see the marrow
of her leg through the clothes. She will be wearing
crowns and the smallest pearl on these crowns will light
up the space between the east and west" 36

Abdullah Ibn Masud narrates that Rasululah said,
"Every person of Jannat will have two wives from the
hurs. Every wife will have 70 layers of clothes, and the
marroW of her leg can be seen through these clothes just
as a red drink can be seen in a white glass." 39
Outwardly, a person may consider it repulsive and
disgusting to see the marrow of the leg of the women of
Jannat. However, one narration clarifies this matter and
mentions that he will be able to see through her leg
because of her beauty; not because of some defect in
her. The purpose of mentioning this is to emphasize the
softness of the skin, clearness, and the delicateness of
the women of Jannat.40 Another benefit of being able to
see through her clothes is that he will be able to enjoy
looking at her beautiful clothes and what is underneath at
the same time.
The large breasts of the maidens of Jannat
Allah ~ states,
4jil Y"I-'p J
"And the people of Jannat will have full-breasted women
who will be equal in age. ,,41
The breasts of these women will be round like
pomegranates and they will never sag down because
these women will never become 01d.42

person who dies as a result of miscarriage or of old age
or of middle age will be resurrected at the age of 33. If
he/she is from the people of Jannat, then he/she will
have the form of Adam ~, the appearance of Yusuf
~, and the heart of Ayyub ,,44
43 (Sahih Muslim)
44 (Abu Ya'Ia, BayhaqI)

The people of Jannat will never grow old and will
remain permanently at the age of 33. The wisdom
behind this age is that a person is at the height of his
physical strength and his body parts are fully developed.
Therefore, he/she can experience maximum pleasure
from the bounties of Jannat.

Anas narrates that Rasulull:lh said, "I came to
Yusuf ~ and he was given half of all beauty. ,,45
By combining these two hadith, we can conclude that
each man and woman of Jannat will have the beauty of
half the people of this world. This will be the minimum
beauty of the people of Jannat, as they will always be
increasing in beauty.
A'ta Salami said to Malik bin Dinar "Definitely,
there is a particular hur in Jannat upon whose beauty the
people of Jannat boast and brag. If Allah ~ had not
allowed death for the people of Jannat, they would die
because of her beauty. "46
Hakim met another person and asked him, "Do you
have any desire for the hurs?" He said, "No." Hakim
then told him, "Desire them, because the light on their
faces is from the light of Allah." The man fell
unconscious and was taken to his home. The narrator of
the incident adds· that we visited to this person for one
month after this incident [to console him during his
sickness] .47

Ibn Abi Dunya relates that Yazid Ar-Raqashi said,
"I have heard that a light will shine in Jannat, and every
part of Jannat will start shining because of this light.
Someone will ask, 'Where did this light come from?' It
will be said to him, 'One hur smiled at her husband.'
The narrator Salih says," A man from the c'Jrner of
the gathering started screaming and continued to scream
until he died. ,,48

A human being has his own understanding of beauty
which is confined to his limited and deficient knowledge.
Allah ~ - in his infinite knowledge and wisdom - has
described these women as beautiful, so we can imagine
how beautiful these women must be!

when suddenly a cloud will come over them and rain
upon them a perfume which they will have never smelt

honour which I have prepared for you and take whatever
you desire. I They will find a market surrounded by
angels. In this marketplace, there will be what no eye
has seen, no ear has heard, and no heart has imagined.
They will take whatever they desire without any buying
or selling. The people of Jannat will meet each other in
this market. A person with a good appearance will come
b,fore one who is less beautiful than him - no one will
have a bad appearance. The second person will like the
clothes and appearance of the first person, and before
they finish speaking, his appearance will become better
than the first person This is because it is not appropriate
for anyone to be unhappy in Jannat. Then we will return
to our houses and our wives will receive us saying,
'Welcome. Definitely, you have come to us adorned
with more beauty and perfume than before.' The dweller
of Jannat will say, 'Today we were in the company of

lowest level of Jannat.? [If the lowest level is such], then
how will the highest level of Jannat be?' Ka'b
answered, "That which no eye has seen and no ear has
heard. I have heard that Allah has created a house and
placed in it as many wives, fruits, and drinks as He
willed. Then he sealed it shut so no one can see it; not
even the angels. ,,52

Abdullah Ibn Masud narrated this hadith to U'mar ibn
AI-Khattab "A door of Jannat will be opened for [the
last person to enter Jannat), and he will say, '0 my Lord,
enter me into this door.' AW'th will tell him, '0 My slave,
it is possible that if I enter you through this door, you will
ask Me for something else.' He will reply,' I take the oath
of Your majesty and grandeur that I will not ask You for
anything else if You enter me in this door.' He will enter
this door and while he is amazed with what is in this first
door, another door will be opened. The contents of the first
door will;eem trivial to him and he will ask Allah again,
'0 my Lord, enter me through this door.' AW'th will tell
him, 'Didn't you say that you will not ask Me for anything
else?' The person will say, 'I take the oath of Your majesty
and grandeur that I will not ask You for anything else.' In
this way, he will enter four more doors; each time asking
to be entered into the new door. Then, he will be greeted
by a person who is radiating with light. Upon seeing him,
the dweller of Jannat will fall in prostration before him.
The person with light radiating from him will ask the
person, 'What is the matter with you?' He will answer,
'Are you not my Lord?" The person radiating with light
will say, 'I am just one servant out of your thousand
servants who oversee your one thousand palaces.' Between
each palace is the distance of one year and he will be able
to see the farthest palace just as he can see the closest
palace. Then, a door made of green emerald will be opened
for him in which there are 70 doors. In each door there
will be wives, cushions, and servants. He will then sit with
his wife and she will give him a cup [of wine]. She will say
to him, ,You have increased in beauty 70 times from the
time I gave you this cup.' He will say to her, 'You have
also increased in beauty 70 times from the time you gave
me this cup.' She will be wearing 70 different pairs of

their husbands so that they can relate to each other better

each glass will have a type of drink not found in the

enjoyed the first. He will ask Allah, '0 my Lord, if you
permit me to feed and give drink to all the people of the

the hurs besides his wives from the world, and one of
them will have the width of one mile. ,,65

The inhabitants of Jannat will be enlarged in size in
order to gain maximum pleasure from the luxuries of
Jannat. This hadith also proves that one's wife in this

Abu Sai'd narrates that RasUlulah said, "The
person who will be in the lowest level of Jannat will
have 80,000 servants and 72 wives. A palace made of
pearls, emeralds, and rubies will be raised for him
[whose length and width] will be the distance between
Al-Jabiyah (A city in Syria) and Sana' (A city in67 '
Yemen)."
(,(,(Bayhaqi)
67 (Tirmidhi, Ibn Hibban)
l

46
The distance between these two cities is approximately
2,150 kilometres. Thus, we can imagine how great and
big this palace will be!
The ahadith mention different amounts of wives for each
person in Jannat. In Sahih Bukhari it is mentioned,
"Every person will have two wives." However, there is
no contradiction between this hMith and other ahMith
which state a person will have more than two wives.
Hafiz ibn Hajar mentions that one interpretation of
this hadIt11is that two is the minimum number of wives a
person will have. Another interpretation is that the
number two is also used in the Arabic language for a
large quantity and greatness of something. Thus, the
meaning here is not to fix an exact amount and limit for
the number of wives a person will have.6g Mulla Ali
Qari says that the best interpretation is that the two
wives mentioned in this hadith refer to the women of this
world and each person will have a minimum of 72
wives; 70 from the hurs and 2 from the humans. (,9

Imam Razi mentions that Allah ~ will give a believer
as many wives as Allah ~ desires for every good deed
that the believer does. 72 The exact number of wives for
each person will vary according to a person's obedience
to Allah ~ and his level in Jannat. Thus, we should try
to do as many good deeds in this world in order to enter
Jannat and thereafter gain as many wives as possible.-----~

Chapter 12: Intimate Relations in
Jannat
Loving nature of the women of Jannat and their
skillfulness in sexual intercourse
Allah describes the women of Jannat as,
" L:lyl L:-.P
"Loving in nature and equal in age. ,,73
Some scholars have translated the word u'rub in two
ways. One interpretation is that they have intense love
foc their husbands and the other interpretation is that
they are skillful at having sex with their husbands.74
Sexual intercourse only with virgins
Allah ~ says,
6L:ki ~.1 ~'iT ~ ~ 64- 'i J ~ u-Jl ~ rJ
"No human or jinn has touched [these women] before.
Then which bounty of your Lord will you both [humans
and jinns] deny?,,75
The reason for these women being virgins is because a
person generally derives more pleasure in having sexual
intercourse with them. As mentioned above, Allah ~
will also make all the human women into virgins in
Jannat. Imam Razi also says in the commentary of this
verse that Allah ~ mentions sexual intercourse of the
world with indirect words. However, in this verse he has
73 (56:39)
74 (Hftdiyu] Arwfth pg. 266)
75 (55-74)
mentioned the sexual intercourse of the hereafter in clear
and direct words. The objective of this is to show that
sexual intercourse in this world is not free of faults and
is not perfect, whereas sexual intercourse in the
hereafter will be perfect and free of all faults. 76

Muhammed ibn Ka'b Al-Qurazi narrates from a
person of the Ansar (people of Madinah) that
Rasulullah said, "I take the oath of that Being who
sent me with the truth, you are not more acquainted with
your wives and houses than the people of Jannat. A
person of Jannat will come to 72 wives which Allah
specially created in Jannat (hurs) and 2 human wives .
The human wives will have virtue over the [hurs]
because they worshipped Allah in the world. He will
come to the first of his wives in a room made of rubies.
[They will be on a] bed made of gold which is adorned
with pearls. This bed will be made of 70 different types
of silk. He will place his hand between her two
shoulders and he will see his hand through her clothes,
skin, and flesh. He will see the marrow of her leg just as
a person can see the thread inside a ruby. His inside will
be a reflection of her and her inside will be a reflection
of him. He will be in this condition; he will not become
bored of her and she will not become bored of him.
Every time he comes to her, he will find her to be a
virgin. His sexual organ will not tire and her sexual
organ will also not experience any difficulty. [While he
is in this condition], someone will announce, 'We have
known that you will not get bored and you will not make
her bored. Both the man and woman will not experience
ejaculation of sperm. You will have other wives besides
her.' He will go to the other wives one by one.
Whenever he will go to a wife, she will say to him, "1
swear by Allah, there is nothing in Jannat more beloved
to me than you. ,,79

Shuffi ibn Mati' narrates that Rasulullah said,
"Definitely, one of the bounties of Jannat is that the
people of Jannat will visit one another on swift animals.
RO Hafiz bin Hajar ~ says that if the Tabi' (Person who saw the
Sahabah) sometimes does not mention the final narrator of the hadith,
but it is known that he only narrates from those narrators who arc
reliable, then most scholars of hadlth along with Imam Ahmed do not
pass a judgement regarding this hadith because of the possibility of it
being acceptable and un-acceptable. However, such a narration
(known as mursal) is accepted un-conditionally according to the
scholars of KOJa, the followers of the Mftliki school of thought, and
according to one view of Imam Ahmad.
A horse will be brought to them with a saddle and reins.
(It will be ready to ride). This horse will not excrete and
nor will he urinate. They will ride this horse until they
reach the place which Allah desires. Then, they will
come to a cloud which will contain is what no eye has
seen and no ear has heard. The people of Jannat will ask
this cloud to rain upon them [whatever they desire]. The
cloud will continuously rain upon them [whatever they
desire] until they receive that which they never
imagined. Then, Allah will send a gentle wind and it
will spread mounds of musk on their right and left. They
will apply this musk on the foreheads and necks of their
horses. They will also apply this musk on their own
heads. Each man will keep his hair as long as he desires .
This musk will stick to their hair, horses, and the rest of
their clothes. They will keep proceeding on their animals
until they reach the place which Allah desires. Then,
suddenly a woman will call out to one of them, '0 slave
of Allah, don't you have any desire for us?' He will ask
her, 'What are you and who are you?' She will reply, 'I
am your wife and beloved.' He will say to her, 'I did not
know about you.' She will answer, 'Didn't you know
that Allah said, "No person knows the joy which is
hidden from them as a reward for their deeds. '" He will
say , 'Yes, I swear by my Lord.' Then, it is possible that
he becomes preoccupied with her for 40 years [having
sexual intercourse]. [During this time], he will not turn
his attention elsewhere and will not leave. His only
concern will be the pleasure and honour which he is
enjoying. ,,81

of Jannat. The cloud will say to them, 'What do you

be rained upon them." Kathir said, "If Allah gives me

the Sahabah) in such an topic which could not have been determined
by a person's logic and deduction is equivalent to a hadith which is
directly from Rasulullah except that it will be in a mursal in his
right.
the people of Jannat will eat and drink." Rasulullah
said, "By the oath of that being in whose hands my life
is, every person in Jannat will be given the power of 100
men in eating, drinking, and sexual intercourse. "S4
Since a person will have many wives in Jannat, Allah
will increase the sexual power of the men of Jannat so
that they can completely satisfy their desires.

Abu Sa'eed Khudri narrates that RasululHlh said,
"When a believer desires a child in Jannat, the
pregnancy, birth, and growth of the child [to the age of
33] will be take place instantly. "xs
The scholars have differed on whether or not there will
bc childbirth in Jannat. Ibn Kathir says, "Tawus,
Mujfthid, and IbrahIm An-NakhaI' hold the view that
sexual intercourse will take place in Jannat without
childbirth and this is correct. There will not be childbirth
in Jannat because there will be no need for it. Childbirth
is necessary in this world for the continuation of
humanity, whereas in Jannat the objective is lasting
pleasure. This is why there is no ejaculation of sperm
during sexual intercourse in Jannat because it would end
the pleasure. However, when the people of Jannat desire
children, they will immediately receive children. This is
because Allah ~ has said, "They will have in Jannat
whatever they desire. In this way Do We reward the
people who carry out Our commands and refrain from
evil" (16:31)

AbCI Hurayrah narrates that someone mentioned the
martyrs by RasUlullfth and he said, "Before the
ground can dry from the blood of the martyr, his two
wives rush to him as if they are a breast-feeding camel
who has found her lost child in an empty and barren
land. Each woman will have a pair of clothes in her hand
which will be better than the world and all it contains. "X7
This is an example to show that the love and excitement
of the hurs for their martyred husbands will be like that
of a breast-Jeeding camel who has found her baby camel.
Another interpretation is that the tenderness and
compassion of the hurs for their husbands will be like
that of the mother-camel who - out of her love for her
child - protects it from the sun in a barren land in which
there is no shade.
A Shahid will enjoy his wife in his grave

Mujahid narrates that Yazid bin Shajarah - one of
those people whos~ actions agree with their speech -
delivered a khutbah (sermon) and said, "When the
people are arranged in rows for Salah and when they are
arranged in ranks for combat, the doors of Jannat opened
and the doors of hellfire are locked. The hurs beautify
themselves and watch the battle. When a person heads
towards the enemy, they make dua' (invocation) to Allah
to help him. When a person runs away from the enemy,
they conceal themselves from him and make dua' to
! IIflh to forgive him and to destroy the enemy. The hurs
S;IY to the fighters, 'May our parents be sacrificed for
YOII, don't disgrace us.' The first drop which is spilled
01 the fighter's blood wipes out all his previous sins. His
two wives from the hurs come down to him and wipe the
dill from his face. Trey say to him, 'May we be

bad body odour and an ugly face. I c1on't have any
wealth. If I fight against these people U' ,til l am killed,
where will I be? RasUlullflh said, "In Janna1." So he
fought until he was killed. The Prophet came to him
and said, " Indeed Allah has brightened your face, made
a good smell emerge from your body, and has increased
your wc(l!th." The Prophet said to him or to someone
else, "Definitely I saw his wife from the hurs take off

Ibn Umar narrates that RasUlullah and his
Companions once passed by a bedouin's tent on their
way to a battle. The bedouin lifted the side of the tent
and said, "Who are these people?" Someone told him,
"RasUluliah and his Companions are on their way to a
~9 (Hakim)
battle." He then asked, "Are they acquiring wealth?"
Someone told him, "Yes. They are acquiring booty and
afterwards it is distributed among them. " He
immediately went to his young camel, tied a rope to its
leg, and joined RasUlullah and his Companions. He
tried to bring his camel close to Rasulullah but the
Companions prevented him. Rasulullah thereafter
said, "Allow the person from Najd to come closer to me,
because - by the oath of Allah - he is from the kings of
Janna1." The bedouin then fought the enemy in the battle
and was killed. The Prophet was informed about him
and came to him. He sat by his head smiling happily,
and then he turned away. We said, "0 Messenger of
Allah. We saw you smiling happily, and then you turned
away." He said, "I was happy because of the great
honour of his soul to Allah ~, and I turned away
because his wife from the hurs is by him now. ,,90

91 (AbO Ya'Hi)
We should try to learn this simple dua' and use it to ask
for Jannat. There will be more blessing in this dua
because it narrated from a Sahabi who recited in front of
Rasulullah
The importance of worldng towards Jannat
No one from amongst LIS has a guarantee that he will
reach .Iannat. One hadlth in Sahih Bukhari and Sahih
Muslim mentions that a person will do the actions of the
people of .Iannat until he is only a hand-span away from
.Iannat. Then, what is written for him will overtake him
and he will cIa the actions of the people of Hell until he
enters into hell. It is true that Allah has guaranteed to
eventually enter into Jannat anyone who recites the
Kalimah with sincerity, but no believer has a guarantee
that he will leave this world in a state of iman. Therefore,
it is necessary for every believer to constantly work to
please Allah Sin order to die with iman.

"And hasten towards forgiveness from Your Lord, and for
a Jannat prepared for the pious, as wide as the heavens
94
and the earth."
Ibn Abi Dunya narrates from Sulayman Ad-Darani
that there was a youngster living in Iraq who used to
worship Allah in abundance. He went on a journey with
his friend to Makkah, and he would perform Salah when
they would rest. When they would cat, he would fast. His
friend put up with him until the journey ended and they
were about to go their separate ways. Then, he said to
him, "() my brother. Please tell me, why are you doing
this?" He answered, "In my dream, I saw a·palace from
Jannat. There was a brick of gold and a brick of silver.
Where the building finished, there was a balcony made of
ruby and a balcony made of emerald, Between these two
balconies was a hur standing with her hair loose. She was
wearing silver clothes which moved when she moved.
She said, 'Work towards the pleasure of Allah to reach
me.' By Allah, I am working towards the pleasure of
Allah to reach her and this is why you see me fasting and
performing Salah. ,,95

lbn Abbas narrates that RasnIullah said, "The person
who falls in love, remains chaste, conceals this [from
others], and dies is a shahid."
Munawi explains that the love mentioned in the above
hadith refers to a love with a woman with whom marriage
is possible and it is such a severe love which affects all
the body parts. Although this love could occur because of
looking and hearing, this is not necessary because AlHih
~ can place this love in a person's heart without any
apparent cause. The person who remains chaste despite
being afflicted by this severe love and thereafter dies will
receive the reward of a shahid in the hereafter. The rank
of a person who remains chaste is similar to the rank of a
person who dies fighting in the path of Allah ~ because
hath have sacrificed their pleasure for the sake of AWih
Just as a fighter sacrificed his life for the uplifment of
[he religion of AWih, the chaste person strived against his
desires for the sake of Alliih ~.99 The youth especially
should strive to remain chaste in order to gain this virtue.

Anas bin Malik narrates that RasUlulHlh said,
"Hellfire has been covered with desires and Jannat has
been covered with difficulties." (Bukhari, Sahih Muslim)
The road to Jannat is filled with difficulties. A person has
to worship Allah ~, stand in salah, spend from his
wealth, cat only that which Allah ~ has allowed, and
many other obligations. This requires him to go against
his desin?,<; and strive to please Allah ~. On the other
hand, it is 'cry easy to follow one's desires and reach the
hellfire. A smart person will undergo the temporary
difficulties of this world in order to gain the eternal
pleasures or the hereafter.
