Will people in Paradise return to the form and beauty of Prophet Adam, or only to his height, as stated in the Prophetic Hadith? Is it permissible to supplicate to Allah to grant the supplicant the same form and beauty of the most beautiful human He created by His power and mercy in Paradise?
The people of Paradise will enter in the utmost beauty and handsomeness, with the height of Adam, the beauty of Yusuf, and the age of Jesus (33 years). It is permissible for a Muslim to supplicate for whatever he loves, as long as it does not involve aggression or sin. However, his primary concern should be entering Paradise, which is the highest of aspirations, for in it the servant attains complete contentment and everything he desires. It suffices for the supplicant to say: "O Allah, I ask You for Paradise and what brings one closer to it of word or deed, and I seek refuge in You from the Fire and what brings one closer to it of word or deed." There is no need to detail the request concerning Paradise and its delights, for aggression in supplication is forbidden.
