Will there be births in Paradise, and will its inhabitants be granted their wish for children?
The bliss of the people of Paradise is complete, and whatever they desire, they attain. The issue of childbirth in Paradise is a matter of scholarly disagreement, but the more preponderant view — as mentioned by Ibn al-Qayyim — is that if a man desires a child in Paradise, then its conception, birth, and maturity will occur in a single hour, just as he wishes. This will not happen through the usual means of pregnancy, menstruation, and childbirth found in this world. So, a child will not be born from the sexual intimacy of the people of Paradise; rather, if one of them loves to have a child and desires to have one, then it will come into existence as he wishes by the will of Allah the Almighty.
