What motivates a woman and makes her eagerly anticipate death out of love for meeting Allah? What is her special bliss after death in the grave and before entering Paradise? Are there authentic Sunnah proofs regarding her specific bliss after death?
The believing woman must believe in God's justice and wisdom, and His promise of Paradise and bliss for men and women equally, with the exception of what the evidence has specifically allocated, such as the Hoor al-Ain for men. The greatest bliss for the people of Paradise is seeing God Almighty, and this applies to both men and women; the texts indicating the vision are general and include both genders, just as women will increase in beauty and comeliness in Paradise. And if the vision on Friday is specific to men in the market, this does not prevent women from seeing in their homes. As for the statement that a woman cannot be better than the least man in Paradise, it is incorrect, for a woman may be superior to many men according to her rank. A woman should not wish for what God has favored some over others, but rather she should occupy herself with obedience and worship. The believing woman in Paradise will be content and happy, and her husband will not be as he was in this world, but in the best condition.
