I am a muslim girl in Sweden, who got a question from a christian person. I've asked everyone around me and tried to find the answer by looking in books, internet, but unfortunately whithout any results.The question was about huriyat (several women), according to what I've heard it is several women that the muslim men will be "awarded" with,in janna(heaven).I don't know if this information is right, but if you could give me a little bit more information about this, I would be thankful. The main question is: -Why does Islam encourage something in janna(heaven), which is forbidden here on earth?. Whith that he means, that a relationship outside marriage is according to Islam- haram (forbidden), if they(muslim men)avoid this on earth, they will be awarded with huriyat in janna. Isn't that very strange? Unfortunately a know very little about this subject, I don't know where he got this question, but I am sure there is a logical explanation for this question, which I hope to find answer to. I would be very grateful, if you could help me with this question, thank you for your time! Answer: Praise be to Allaah. In His Holy Book, Allaah has mentioned Paradise and what He has prepared therein. He has mentioned the attributes of Paradise and of its people in numerous places in the Qur'aan, such as the aayaat (interpretation of the meaning): "Therein will be a running spring. Therein will be thrones raised high. And cups set at hand. And cushions set in rows. And rich carpets (all) spread out" [al-Ghaashiyah 88:12-16] "But for him who fears the standing before his Lord, there will be two Gardens (i.e. in Paradise). Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both (jinn and men) deny? With spreading branches. Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both (jinn and men) deny? In them (both) will be two springs flowing (free). Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both (jinn and men) deny? In them (both) will be every kind of fruit in pairs." [al-Rahmaan 55:46-52] "Wherein both will be Qaasiraat ut-Tarf [chaste females (wives) restraining their glances, desiring none except - their husbands], with whom no man or jinni has had Tamth [sexual intercourse] before them. Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both (jinn and men) deny? (In beauty) they are like rubies and coral." [al-Rahmaan 55:56-58] "Hoor (beautiful, fair females) guarded in pavilions" [al-Rahmaan 55:72] "And (there will be) Hoor (fair females) with wide lovely eyes (as wives for Al-Muttaqoon _ the pious). Like unto preserved pearls. A reward for what they used to do." [al-Waaqi'ah 56:22-24] There are many saheeh ahaadeeth from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) which describe the women of Paradise and state that they will be prepared on the Day of Resurrection for the muttaqoon (pious). Among these ahaadeeth is the hadeeth of Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) who said, the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "The first group to enter Paradise will look like the moon on the night when it is full, then those who follow them will look like the brightest star in the sky; they will not urinate or defecate or spit or blow their noses. Their combs will be of gold and their sweat will be musk and their incense-burners will be pearls. Their wives will be al-hoor al-`iyn. Their appearance will be the same and they will look like their father Adam who was sixty cubits tall." (Saheeh al-Jaami', 2015). It was also reported that he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "A tent will be a pearl sixty miles high, in each corner of which will be a wife for the believer whom no one else will see." (Saheeh al-Jaami', 3357). In these ahaadeeth the women of Paradise are mentioned who have been prepared for the men. In His Book, Allaah called them al-Hoor. Al-Hoor is the plural of Hooraa' . Al-Qurtubi said in al-Ahkaam (17/12): "(This means) a woman in whose eyes the white is intensely white and the black is intensely black." We believe in that with absolute faith uncontaminated with any doubts. It is part of the essentials of our belief. For more information see Saheeh al-Bukhaari, Kitaab Bad' al-Khalq, Baab Sifat al-Jannah; and Saheeh Muslim, Abwaab Sifat al-Jannah; and Sifat al-Jannah by Abu'l-Na'eem al-Isfahaani, which describes the women of the people of Paradise and their beauty.
