Will the women in Paradise cover their faces? Will they see the Messenger and greet him with salaam?

Will the women in Paradise cover their faces? Will they see the Messenger and greet him with salaam?
Will the women in Paradise cover their faces? Will they see the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and greet him with salaam?.

 

Praise be to Allaah.

It
does not seem that the women in Paradise will cover their faces, because
Allaah will give them extraordinary beauty, and this beauty will be a reward
for their obedience in this world. That will be for the sake of their
husbands, so that they find pleasure in them, and their beauty will increase
time after time.  

It
was narrated from Anas ibn Maalik that the Messenger of Allaah (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “In Paradise there is a market to
which they will come every Friday. Then the north wind will blow and will
blow on their faces and garments, and increase them in beauty. Then they
will return to their families having increased in beauty and their families
will say to them: By Allaah, you have increased in beauty, and they will
say: By Allaah, you too have increased in beauty.” 

 

Narrated by Muslim 2833. 

In
Paradise, there will be no evil looks or sickness of the heart such that a
woman will be required to cover her face, and it is not the place for
striving or commands or prohibitions, as ‘Ali (may Allaah be pleased with
him) said: “Today is for striving with no reckoning and tomorrow is for
reckoning with no striving.” Narrated by al-Bayhaqi in Shu’ab al-Eemaan
(10614); narrated by al-Bukhaari in a mu’allaq report in Baab al-Aml wa
Tooliha, in Kitaab al-Riqaaq. 

It
seems that in Paradise women in their own realms will enjoy all kinds of
delight there , without mixing with men, because Allaah has described
al-hoor al-‘iyn as “restraining their glances” [al-Rahmaan 55:56]
i.e., keeping their glances and their love only for their husbands. And He
has described them as being “Houris (beautiful, fair females) restrained
in pavilions” [al-Rahmaan 55:72]. This does not mean that they will
never go out of their realms, rather they will have everything they desire
of that which Allaah has prepared for the people of Paradise. And the same
is said concerning the believing women of Paradise. 

 

Shaykh ‘Abd al-Rahmaan al-Sa’di (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: 

 

“Houris (beautiful, fair females) restrained in pavilions” [al-Rahmaan
55:72]
means: kept in tents of pearl, always ready for their husbands. That does
not mean that they do not go out in the gardens of Paradise, as the
daughters of kings and others like them, such as girls kept in seclusion and
those who are very shy usually do. 

 

Tafseer al-Sa’di
(p. 831). 

He
also (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: 

The
general meaning of that includes al-hoor al-‘iyn and the women of this
world. This description – being virgins – applies to them in all cases, just
as their being “loving (their husbands only), equal in age” [al-Waaqi’ah
56:37] applies to them in all cases. 

 

Tafseer al-Sa’di
(p. 833). 

 

Secondly: 

It
seems that the women of Paradise will not be prevented from seeing the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) because he is the
Prophet of the whole ummah and they are like his daughters, and he is closer
to the believers than their own selves. 

Ibn
Katheer (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in his commentary on the verse
in which Allaah tells us that Loot (peace be upon him) said: “Here are my
daughters (i.e. the women of the nation), they are purer for you (if you
marry them lawfully)” [Hood 11:78]:  

The
Prophet of a nation is like the father of its men and women. Mujaahid said:
They are not his daughters, but they are part of his ummah, and every
Prophet is the father of his nation. This was narrated from Qataadah and
more than one. Sa’eed ibn Jubayr said: i.e., their womenfolk are his
daughters, and he is a father to them. In some recitations it is said that
the Prophet is closer to the believers than their own selves and his wives
are their mothers, and he is a father to them. 

 

Tafseer Ibn Katheer
(4/337). 

And
there is the glad tidings in the Sunnah that everyone who sees him in a
dream will see him in Paradise. The same glad tidings apply to the one who
fears that he will not see him in Paradise. 

(a) 

 

Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): 

“And
whoso obey Allaah and the Messenger (Muhammad
صلى الله عليه وسلم), then they will be in the company of those on
whom Allaah has bestowed His Grace, of the Prophets, the Siddeeqoon (those
followers of the Prophets who were first and foremost to believe in them,
like Abu Bakr As‑Siddeeq رضى الله عنه ),
the martyrs, and the righteous. And how excellent these companions are!”

 

[al-Nisa’ 4:69] 

(b)

It
was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: I
heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say:
“Whoever sees me in a dream will see me when he is awake, for the Shaytaan
cannot resemble me.” 

 

Narrated by al-Bukhaari (6592). He said: Ibn Sireen said: if he sees him in
his true form. Also narrated by Muslim (2266).  

(c)

It
was narrated that ‘Aa’ishah said: A man came to the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allaah, you are
dearer to me than myself and dearer to me than my family and my sons.
Sometimes I am in the house and when I remember you, I cannot wait until I
come to you and look upon you. If I remember that I will die and you will
die, I know that when you enter Paradise you will be raised with the
Prophets but if I enter Paradise I am afraid that I will not see you. The
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) did not answer him
until the verse “And whoso obey Allaah and the Messenger (Muhammad
صلى الله عليه وسلم), then they will be
in the company of those on whom Allaah has bestowed His Grace, of the
Prophets, the Siddeeqoon (those followers of the Prophets who were first and
foremost to believe in them, like Abu Bakr As‑Siddeeq
رضى الله عنه ), the martyrs, and the
righteous. And how excellent these companions are!”[al-Nisa’ 4:69] was
revealed to him.   

Ibn
Katheer said, after mentioning (this report) with its isnaad with Ibn
Mardawayh in his Tafseer: 

This
is how it was narrated by al-Haafiz Abu ‘Abd-Allaah al-Maqdisi in his book
Sifat al-Jannah, via al-Tabaraani, from Ahmad ibn ‘Amr ibn Muslim
al-Khallaal, from ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Imraan al-‘Aabidi. Then he said: I do not
see anything wrong with its isnaad. 

 

Tafseer Ibn Katheer
(2/354).  

The
hadeeth is hasan and has several isnaads and a great deal of corroborating
evidence which may be found in Tafseer Ibn Katheer. It is sufficient
to note that al-Haafiz al-Maqdisi classed it as hasan. 

(d)

A
similar report was narrated by Ibn Sa’d in al-Tabaqaat al-Kubra
(8/415) from Umm ‘Amaarah Nusaybah bint Ka’b (may Allaah be pleased with
her) who said to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah
be upon him): Pray to Allaah that we will be with you in Paradise. He said:
O Allaah, make them my companions in Paradise. She said: I do not care what
happens to me in this world. 

 

Note: 

It is
proven in Saheeh al-Bukhaari (2796) from the hadeeth of Anas ibn
Maalik (may Allaah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “If a woman of the people of Paradise
were to look upon the people of earth, the space between them would be
illuminated and filled with fragrance, and the cloth on her head is better
than this world and everything in it.”  

The
cloth on her head refers to her head cover, as was explained elsewhere by
the narrator (6568). 

But
it seems that this cloth is part of her adornment with which she beautifies
herself for her husband, as is indicated by the context of the hadeeth which
is speaking of the beauty of the women of Paradise. This is supported by the
report of al-Tabaraani in al-Awsat (3/281): “The crown on her head is
better than this world and everything in it.” 

 

Al-Haythami said in al-Majma’ (10/774): Its isnaad is jayyid. It was
classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Targheeb. 

Following note from Muslim Quran online Blog 

The first lesson to be learned by all Muslims is the importance of the Reading Quran Online. All Muslim should learn holy Quran online  is the Book of Allah All mighty. Every word which the quran reciter recites or he read quran is the word of Allah it is mentioned in Quran in Arabic that it is the guidance which has come from Allah. That is why we as Muslim say it is the Holy Book. We should  learn quran and focus on quran teaching thought by the quran tutor to the students and the tutor should arrange the kids quran lessons in such an easy manner so they can understand it easily and make there quran recitation online as beautiful as he could and teach them that the words of Koran were sent by Allah to our beloved Prophet Muhammad (SAWW) through the angel Jibraeel. And further more elaborate wile reading quran with teaching them the quran tafseer and the tajweed quran with its rules let then do quran memorization in the proper manner We as Muslim should respect the teachings of Quran and in every other manner when we are reading it or when we listen to Quran  wake up Muslims and spread the word of Islam to
