THE MAIDENS OF JANNAT
Foreword
The temporary life of this world is a great test for man.
Temptations
are many
and man is weak.
The
possibilities of faltering and sinning are not remote. Of
all the temptations,
the temptation relating to the
opposite sex is thc highest. If the sexual urge of man is
left unchecked and unregulated,
there will be total
anarchy and mischief in the world. Therefore, Almighty
Allah placcd various rcstrictions upon man in this
regard.
To control and rcgulatc lhis desirc, any limn of illicit
affiliation with the opposite scx is slriclly I()rhiddcn. To
maintain a high Icvel of moral ily, (Shllll has ordaincd

C;III
be likened to riding a strong, wild horse. Eithcr the rider
will keep the horse in check with great effort or thc
horse will throw the rider off. This is the constant
struggle that exists between man and his desires in this
world. For the youth, the struggle is even more intense
and great.
For those people who restrain and control the desires of
the nafs in this world, Allah has promised immense
rewards in the Akirah (hereafter).
Man sometimes
forgets these rewards and becomes inclined to sin. If he
is reminded about these rewards, his resolve to control
the nafs becomes stronger and more vigorous.
It
becomes easier to sacrifice the desires in view of these
great rewards of the Hereafter. Besides the promise of
these eternal rewards of the Hereafter, there is little that
can control the desires of man, especially the desires of
the youth.
In this book, some of the rewards of the Hereafter,
especially those relating to the gorgeous, celestial, wide-
eyed beauties - the hurs - of Jannat, have been Set out in
a clear and concise manner. By reading and pondering
about the bounties of Jannat and its beautiful virgins, the
youth will feel a renewed vigour to fight the carnal
desires and strive for the pleasure of Allah by doing
righteous deeds. Furthermore, the beauty of the women
of this world will appear pale and insignificant before
the beauty of those stunning damsels of Jannat.
There is not much authentic literature on this specific
topic, and hence this book fulfills this requirement in a
captivating way. I would recommend every youngster to
acquire a copy of this book, to read it, and ponder over
its contents. May Allah accept and reward the efforts
of MI. Abdullah Nana of the US in compiling this
beneficial book and may Allah inspire him to produce
many beneficial writings in the future as well. Amin.

Introduction
Allah has placed in every human being the natural
desire
and
inclination
for
gold,
silver,
money,
transportation (cars), land, and other items of this world.
The test for a person is how he responds to his desire for
these items. If he uses these items to prepare for the
hereafter, he will be successful. On the other hand, if he
devotes himself to fulfilling his desire for these items
and forgets about his purpose in this world, he will be
amongst the losers in the hereafter.
Similarly, Allah has placed in every person the
natural desire for the opposite sex, and out of all the
desires found in a person, the greatest test for a Muslim
is how he fulfills this desire. He can either fail this test
by spending all his energy to unlawfully satisfy this
desire, or pass this test by remaining chaste and fulfilling
this desire lawfully through marriage. Rasulullah said
regarding the severity of this test, "I have not left a more
harmful and severe temptation for men than women.
,,1
This test is even greater for us today because of the
generally evil environment in which we are living in. It
has become very easy to commit evil and it has become
somewhat difficult to do good deeds because of this
environment. As Rasulullah predicted, holding on to
the commands of Allah and staying away from evil
during this time has become like holding on to a burning
coal.
In order to motivate us to pass this test, it is very
important for u<; to know what is the reward for
controlling one's desires and staying away from evil. It
becomes very easy for a person to undergo difficulty and
hardship to carry out an action when he knows what
reward he will receive for doing this action. For
example, a person will happily go to work every day and
tire himself because he knows that he will receive his
paycheck at the end of the month. In the same way,
Allah and his Rasul
have given us a detailed
description of the reward for controlling one's desires in
this world, i.e. Jannat (paradise).
Jannat is a place where a person will have all that he
desires, and he will live a perfect (lad ever-lasting life.
Each pleasure of Jannat will be far more superior than
the comparable pleasure found in this world, and a
person will be able to completely fulfill his desire for
that pleasure. For example, a person in this world is
always drinking liquids to quench his thirst. No matter
how many delicious and tasty beverages he consumes, he
will always become thirsty again in a few hours. But, in
the hereafter, a person will be able to drink as much as
he desires and quench his thirst permanently.
Similarly, the women of Jannat will be far more superior
than the women of this world. Once a person comes to
know of this, it will become very easy for him to stay
away from evil and work towards the hereafter. This
book contains a detailed description of these women

THE MAIDENS OF JANNAT
based on the verses of the Qurfm, tafsir (explanation of
the Quran), Ahadith, and stories of the pious.
The purpose of this book is to motivate us to work
towards the hereafter and to control our desires in this
world through marriage. We should not read this book
as a fairy tale or a fantasy; rather we should understand
that the contents of this book are a reality for which we
should all work towards. It is our fundamental belief that
Jannat and Jahannam (hellfire) are already in existence
and a person will fulfill all his desires in Jannat both
physically and spiritually.
========================.","''"',""-----
The permissibility of using a weak hadith for
describing virtues of actions
The majority of the ahadith in this book are authentic
ahadith. However, I have also included weak ahadith
because thiis a topic related to virtues. The famous
Shafi' scholar, Imam Nawawi
says in his introduction
to the 'arbain' (40 ahadith) that the scholars have agreed
on the permissibility
of using weak Ahadith
for
describing the virtues of actions.
Hafiz ibn Hajar
has further fixed three conditions for
using weak ahadith. One is that the hadith must not be
very weak, i.e. at least one chain of narrators of this
hadith must be free from a narrator who is a liar, is
accused of lying, or is known for making great mistakes.
The second condition is that it should fit under a general
principle, which is established and acted upon. Finally,
the third condition is that the person acting upon this
hadith should not believe it to be established, but he
should exercise caution in this
regard2•
Only those weak ahadith have been included in this
book, which meet these conditions. The classification of
the ahadith by the eminent scholars of hadith has been
included with the hadith in Arabic.

Abu Sai'd Khudri
narrates that RasGlullah
said that
Allah will say to the people of Jannat, "0 people of
Jannat." They will answer, "0 our Lord, we are present
and all goodness is in your hands." Allah will then say
to them, "Are you pleased?" They will say, "0 our Lord,
how could we not be pleased when You have given us
[those bounties] which You have not given to any of Your
creation?" Allah will say, " Should I not give you
something better than all this?" They will say, " What can
be better than all this?" Allah will say, "I enter you into
My happiness and I will never become angry at you."

you not brighten our faces and enter us into Jannat? Did
you not save us from Jahannam?' Then, Allah will
remove the veil and they will not be given anything more
beloved to them than the sight of their Lord.
,,4
A person will only be able to completely enjoy the
bounties of Jannat when he knows that the owner of
these bounties is pleased with him and will never
become angry with him. His enjoyment of these bounties
will increase when he knows that it is iplpossible for him
to lose them.

Anas
narrates that Rasu.lullah
said, "On the Day of
Judgement, that dweller of Jahannam (hellfire) who had
lived the most luxurious life in this world will be
brought and he will be put in Jahannam for a second and
taken out. He will then be asked, '0 son of Adam, did
you ever experience any good? Did you ever experience
any comfort?' He will say, 'No, I swear by Allah, my
Lord.' Then, that dweller of Jannat who lived the most
difficult life in this world will be brought and he will put
in Jannat for a second and out. He will be asked, '0 son
of Adam, did you ever experience any difficulty? Did
you ever experience any hardship?' He will say, 'No, I
swear by Allah, my Lord. I never experienced any
hardship and I never experienced any difficulty. '"
5
This hadith gives us a comparison of the pleasures of
this world and the pleasures of the Jannat. A person who
enjoys the pleasures of Jannat for just once second will
forget all the pleasures and difficulties of this world.
Therefore, all of us should work towards those pleasures
which are everlasting.

your hand into the ocean and examining how much water
you have taken out from it.
,,6
In this hadith, Rasu.lullah
has compared the pleasures
of this world with the pleasures of the hereafter using a
concrete example which we can understand. Otherwise,
the pleasures of this world are not even a drop in the
ocean compared to the pleasures of Jannat. This is
because the pleasures of Jannat will last forever, whereas
the pleasures of this world are temporary.
The pleasures of Jannat are un-imaginable

heard, and no human being has ever imagined. Recite if
you wish, "No person knows the joy which is hidden
from them.

From this hadith we can understand that no one can fully
comprehend what Allah has kept for us in Jannat. The
actual pleasures and bounties of Jannat will be far more
enjoyable than what we can imagine them to be.

Then he will wish [for

will say 'Yes.'
Then Allah
will say to him,

desired and ten times thereof.

"[Tell me about the] clothes of Jannat." Ibn Abbas
answered, "There is one tree in Jannat which will bear
fruit similar to a pomegranate. When a friend of Allah
will desire clothes, the tree will automatically present to
him 70 pairs of clothes, each with a different colour.
[After he has chosen what he desires,] the tree will
return back to its place.

Abu Hurayrah
narrates that RasUlullah
was
speaking
whilts
villager
was
sitting
by
him.
Rasulullah
said, "A person in Jannat will ask Allah
permission to farm. Allah will say to him, 'Don't you
already have whatever you desire?' He will answer,
,Yes, but I love farming.' He will plant his crop, and in
a split-second it will grow tall and be ready for harvest.
[After it is harvested,] this crop will be as big as
mountains. Allah will say to him, '0 son of Adam,
take this because nothing will satisfy you.'"

THE MAIDENS OF JANNAT
Ali
narrates that Rasullah
said, "Indeed, there will
be a market-place in Jannat where buying and selling
will not take place, but there will be outer appearances
of men and women. When a person desires a outer
appearance, he will immediately take the form of that
appearance [temporarily]."

Chapter 4: Introduction to the maidens
of Jannat
The two types of women in Jannat

Human woman
The first type is the human woman of the world who will
be re-created according to the beauty of Jannat. Allah
says,

"We created them as a new creation. And we made them
virgins, loving to their husbands, equal in age."
17
Allah will make old women into young women and non-
virgins into virgins. No matter how their appearance was
in this world, Allah will make them all beautiful and
good-looking in accordance to the beauty of Jannat.
18
What will a woman of this world receive in Jannat?
Mufti Mahmud
was asked that if men will receive
hurs, what will women receive? He replied that the
wives of the believers will stay with their own husbands.
Women who never married in this world will be given a
choice to get married with any (unmarried) man they
wish. If they do not like any of them, a special man will
be created for them (similar to the hurs) and Allah
will join both of them in
marriage.19

Umme

that
she
said
to
Rasulull:lh
"0 RaSlllullah, are the women of this
world superior or the hurs?" He replied, "The women of
this world will have superiority over the hurs just as the
outer lining of a garment has superiority over the inner
lining." Umme Salamah
then asked, "0 RasUlullah,
what is the reason for this?" He answered, "Because
they performed salah, fasted, and worshipped [Allah].
Allah will put light on their faces and silk on their
bodies. [The human women] will be fair in complexion
and will wear green clothing and yellow jewelry. Their
incense-burners will be made of pearls and their combs
will be of gold. They will say, 'We are the women who
will stay forever and we will never die. We are the
women who will always remain in comfort and we will
never undergo difficulty. We are the women who will
stay and we will never leave. Listen, we are happy

================---.
women and we will never become sad. Glad tidings to
those men for whom we are and who are for us.'
,,21
Allah
will make the women of this world more
beautiful and attractive than the hurs. Wherever in this
book the 'women of Jannat' are mentioned, both thhurs
and the human women could be meant.
2, Hilrs
What is a hur?
The second type of women will be those celestial women
specially created for the people of Jannat known as the
hur a'yn. A hur is a young, beautiful, fair-skinned
woman with intensely dark eyes. Another interpretation
is that there will be a sharp contrast between the
whiteness and darkness of her eyes which is considered
to very beautiful. Or it could also mean that her beauty
will dumbfound and astonish others. The meaning of
a'yn is a woman with big, attractive eyes, which is also
considered a sign of beauty.
22
What will the hurs be made of?
The
following

created from sand) has the best of forms and beauty,
then you can imagine the beauty of women created from
saffron!
23
There will be no jealousy between co-wives
Another interpretation of the verse "equal in age" is that
the women of Jannat will all be equal in age, which will
ensure that they get along with one another and make the
believer's life peaceful.
24
It is normally the case in this
world that co-wives have quarrels and arguments which
make the husband's life miserable. However, in Jannat
there will not be any jealousy, malice, or hatred between
the people. A hadith in Sahih Bukhilri and Sahih Muslim
mentions that the hearts of the people of Jannat will be
one and there will not be any difference between them.
Allah also says in this regard,
()A
JJ..l..a .)
La

"And we will take out all [mutual] hatred from their
hearts.

This will ensure that all of a person's wives will get
along and will never become jealous of one other.

Internal and external purity of the maidens of Jannat
Allah says,

"And they will have pure wives in Jannat and they will
stay there forever.

Qatadah
mentions that these
women will be pure from all external impurities such as
menstruation, urine, excreta, and saliva. They will also
be free from all evil internal qualities such as malice,
hypocrisy, swearing, evil character, etc. Thus, they will
not
have
within
them
the smallest
amount
of
disobedience to their husbands.

THE MAIDENS OF JANNA T
Allah says,
Allamah Alusi
explains that the verse refers to those
eggs which human hands have not yet touched, so they
are clean from any dirt or dust. In the same way, the
hurs will be clean and free of all impurities.
The
comparison between the hurs and eggs is also made
because of the yellow-whitish colour of both, which is
known to be the most beautiful skin-colour for women.
Another explanation for this comparison is that the parts
of an egg are known for being perfectly proportioned
and conforming to one another. In the same way, all the
body parts and features of the hurs will go perfectly
together.

"[In beauty] these women are like rubies and small
pearls.
,,31
The comparison between the hurs and rubies is in
transparency. A person can see through a ruby and know
what is on the other side. In the same way, a person will
be able to see through the hurs because of the cleanliness
and delicate nature of their skin and body. Allah has
also compared the hurs to small pearls because of their
softness, whiteness, and pleasant
sight.32

Anas
narrates that RasUlullah said, "One morning
or evening in the path of Allah is better than the world
and all it contains. A hand-span or a whip's length of
Jannat is better that the world and all it contains. If one
woman of Jannat were to glance towards the earth, she
would fill the space between the earth and the sky with
light and perfume. The scarf on her head is better than
the world and all it contains.
,,33
If just a smal part of Jannat is better than the world and
all it contains, then how will the rest of Jannat and all its
pleasures be? Also, if just the scarf on the head of one
woman of Jannat is better than the world and all it
contains, then how valuable is the woman herself?

Abu Sai'd Khudri
narrates that Rasulullah
said, "A
person will recline and relax in Jannat for 70 years, or
on 70 cushions before he moves. Then a woman will
come and tap him on the shoulder. He will see his face
in her cheek as clear as a mirror. (This will be due to the
clearness of her face and its brightness). The smallest
pearl that she will be wearing will fill the space between
the east and west with light. She will greet him with
Salam and he will respond to her greeting. He will ask
her, 'Who are you?' She will answer, 'I am from the
extra.' (This is referring to a verse of the Quran which
says, "And we have more by Us [for the people of
35
(Ibn AbiDunya)
Jannat] ") She will be wearing 70 [different types of]
garments, and the lowest garment will be red and made
from a tree in Jannat. He will be able to see the marrow
of her leg through the clothes. She will be wearing
crowns and the smallest pearl on these crowns will light
up the space between the east and west"

Abdullah Ibn Masud
narrates that Rasululah
said,
"Every person of Jannat will have two wives from the
hurs. Every wife will have
70
layers of clothes, and the
marroW of her leg can be seen through these clothes just
as a red drink can be seen in a white glass."
39
Outwardly,
a person may consider it repulsive and
disgusting to see the marrow of the leg of the women of
Jannat. However, one narration clarifies this matter and
mentions that he will be able to see through her leg
because of her beauty; not because of some defect in
her. The purpose of mentioning this is to emphasize the
softness of the skin, clearness, and the delicateness of
the women of
Jannat.40
Another benefit of being able to
see through her clothes is that he will be able to enjoy
looking at her beautiful clothes and what is underneath at
the same time.
