Will there be acquaintance and marriage in the afterlife?
The inhabitants of Paradise will get to know one another, meet, and gather, as indicated by some Prophetic traditions and noble verses. There is a market in Paradise which they will frequent every Friday, and they will increase in beauty and handsomeness. They will approach one another, inquiring about their circumstances in the world, and exchange conversations over their drinks. Ibn al-Qayyim affirmed that the people of Paradise will visit one another, and Ibn Uthaymeen answered that a person will recognize their relatives and others, which will gladden their heart in Paradise. As for a young man marrying a young woman in Paradise, there will be no bachelors there, for marriage is among the pleasures of the inhabitants of Paradise, and everyone will enjoy it according to what their souls desire, and no one will refuse marriage.
