| MATRIMONY IN PARADISE |
| Allah Almighty says: ...."And if you would count Allah's favors, you will not be able to number them; most surely Allah is Forgiving, Merciful." (Nahl, 18) ....Allah Almighty declares that if we try to count Allah's favors not one by one, but also category by category, we will not be able to number them. .... What about the favors in Paradise? ....The favors of Paradise, which has an unimaginable immensity compared to the Earth, cannot be counted by anyone, including the angels. Therefore, let us just pray Our Lord, The Merciful and The Forgiver, to cause us to enter Paradise before we explore such topics: .... "Allahumma adkhilnal jannata maal abrar." (O My Lord! Please cause us to enter into Paradise in the company of the righteous.) Amen. .... MATRIMONY IN PARADISE ....Allah Almighty says: ...."There for them are pure companions." (Baqara, 25) ....Allah Almighty declares that everybody will have spouses and that these spouses will be pure. .... How can this be so? .... The foods of Paradise will be lighter and transparent, will be easily digested and turn into a sort of colorless gas. This gas will be released from the pores in the skin. ....There will be no need to defecate in Paradise because there will no need for intestines that digest and eliminate substances. Moreover, there will be no phlegm, mucus, tears, earwax, hairs in the armpit or groin; hair and nails will not grow, women will not menstruate. ..The women of the world will be seventy thousand times prettier than the women of the Paradise. They will be calm, charming, lovely, pretty, and cheerful; and they will adore their spouses. .... Allah Almighty says: .... "They and their wives shall be in shades, reclining on raised couches." (Ya-Seen, 56) .... No one in Paradise will be alone. Everybody will have his or her spouse. .... If couples enter into Paradise after being harmonious in the world, they will be together there as well. .... Those women whose husband is in Hell will marry another man; and those men whose wife is in Hell will marry another woman. .... If couples are disharmonious in the world and they enter Paradise, they will be separated there, and will find other spouses, according to their hearts' desire. .... The couples of Paradise will live in complete harmony in terms of physical, spiritual, and moral states, and they will adore each other. .... Spouses will attain all their wishes and expectations, they will find complete satisfaction, and live happily forever. .... There will be no business, nor occupation in Paradise. People will joyfully face each other on raised couches. .... Allah Almighty says: ...."And raised couches." (Waqia, 34) .... Spouses will lie down whenever they wish, and enjoy a permanent pleasure without ejaculation. |
