Will the women of this world be more beautiful than the Houris in Paradise?
The women of this world in Paradise are superior to the Houris (women of Paradise) due to their devotion to Allah in this life, and Allah will cover their faces with light and clothe them in silk. It was narrated from Umm Salama, may Allah be pleased with her, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was asked: "O Messenger of Allah, are the women of this world better or the Houris?" He replied: "Indeed, the women of this world are superior to the Houris, just as the outer garment is superior to the lining." It was asked: "And why is that?" He said: "Because of their prayers, their fasting, and their worship of Allah the Almighty. Allah has clothed their faces with light and their bodies with silk. They are fair in complexion, wear green garments, and have golden adornments. Their censers are pearls, and their combs are gold." However, Al-Albani stated that this is munkar (denounced).
