Can a woman in Paradise have a husband who does not marry another woman, even from among the Houris, if a person will get everything they wish for in Paradise?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Paradise and its delights are not exclusive to men without women; rather, they are prepared for the pious of both genders, as stated in the Holy Qur’an: "And whoever does righteous deeds, whether male or female, while being a believer - those will enter Paradise, and they will not be wronged even by the speck on a date seed" and "Whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a believer - We will surely cause him to live a good life, and We will surely give them their reward [in the Hereafter] according to the best of what they used to do." All forms of delight mentioned in Paradise apply to both male and female.

The women of Paradise are described as "Qasirat al-Tarf" (those who restrain their glances), meaning they limit their gazes to their husbands and do not desire anyone else. They see nothing more beautiful than their husbands, which indicates their complete satisfaction and happiness. The multiplicity of a man's wives in Paradise does not diminish the delight of the woman, for the delight of Paradise differs from the delight of this world. The believer will be given the strength of one hundred men in many matters, including intercourse, so that he may enjoy this complete delight, free from worries and sorrows.
