Is a woman's wearing of the khimar or isdal in this world a reason (by Allah's will) for her to wear the khimar in Paradise, in confirmation of the hadith: "And her head-covering – meaning the khimar – is better than the world and what is in it"?

A woman's obedience to her Lord and her compliance with His command to wear the hijab is a cause for her happiness in this world and the hereafter, by entering Paradise. Consequently, she will attain what the Almighty has promised the women of Paradise in terms of beauty and delight, as in the hadith: "If a woman from the people of Paradise were to look out upon the people of the earth, she would illuminate everything between them and fill it with fragrance, and the veil on her head is better than the world and everything in it."
