Question
Assalaamu alaykum. I was just wondering; when the Quran says that we will have whatever we desire or want or wish in Paradise, are these verses only for the men, or are they for the men and women of this world? Do these verses include the women of this world, or is it just the men?
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ʻalayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.
Allah, the Exalted, prepared Paradise for His obedient servants from the men and women of this world. This is proven by what Allah, the Exalted, mentioned in the Quran; that Paradise is promised for the obedient male or female, as in the following verses:
· {And their Lord responded to them, “Never will I allow to be lost the work of (any) worker among you, whether male or female; you are of one another. So those who emigrated or were evicted from their homes or were harmed in My cause or fought or were killed - I will surely remove from them their misdeeds, and I will surely admit them to gardens beneath which rivers flow as reward from Allah, and Allah has with Him the best reward.”} [Quran 3:195]
· {And whoever does righteous deeds, whether male or female, while being a believer - those will enter Paradise and will not be wronged, (even as much as) the speck on a date seed} [Quran 4:124]
· {Whoever does an evil deed will not be recompensed except by the like thereof; but whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a believer - those will enter Paradise, being given provision therein without account.} [Quran 40:40]
Allah knows best.
