As-Salaamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullaah
A brother who does not have a account has e-mailed me and asked me to post this question.
quote:
"Do women get anything similar to what the men get in Paradise, i.e. the men get the hooryleen?
What is the status of the believing women in Paradise compared to the hooryleen?"
(I have edited the original question)
If anyone knows any ayaat or ahadeeth then please post them for the brother.
Jazzak Allaahu khayr

This is a question I have been eagerly awaiting the answer. This post has been here since Jan 03 and I would like to know the answer myself.

Inshallah, this will answer part of the question that was asked.
Abu Yusuf
Fatawaa on the Pillars of Islam
By Sheikh Muhammad Bin Saleh Al-Uthaaymen رحمه الله
P.116
Q.58: It is mentioned that there will be virgins of Paradise for the men in Paradise, so what is there for the women?
Answer: Allah the Blessed the Most High says about the blessings of the people of paradise:
??therein you shall have what you souls desire and therein you shall have what you ask for. An entertainment from the Oft-Forgiving, the Bestower of Mercy? (Surah Fussilat 41: 31-32)
And He the Most High says:
??and therein is all that the souls desire and all that the eyes can delight in and you will abide therein forever.? (Surah Az-Zukhruf 43:71)
And it is known that marriage is from the most intense (of things) which the souls desire. So, it will take place in Paradise for the people of Paradise, whether they be males or females.
And (as for) the woman, Allah the Blessed the Most High will marry her off in Paradise to her husband in the world, as Allah the Blessed, the Most High says:
?Our Lord, and make them enter the everlasting gardens which you have promised them and to the righteous among their fathers, their wives and their offspring. Indeed you are the All-Mighty, the All-Wise.? (Surah Gaafir 40:8)
And if she did not marry in the world, then indeed Allah the Most High will marry her off to what is pleasing to her in Paradise.
Allaahu Akbar!

insha'allah it might also be beneficial for you to read in Ibn Katheer's tafseer of the Qu'ran of surah Waqi'ah. in it it tells about the women and their description in the jannah, and how they( the believing women) will be made virgins again and will be 70 times as beautiful as the hour'ayn, and how their breasts will not sag anymore and how everyone will be of one age (33), so insha'allah it will be a good read for you(and your wife if you have one) insha'allah as an inspiration and a boost for your eeman and to increase your hope and your khawf of Allah subhanallahu t'ala.
barakallahu fekum
Jazakallahu khairun for the info about this post. Could you tell me where the info on the age in paradise is? You said that it was 33. Where does this come from in the ibn katheer tafseer.
Also can anyone be speficic about what a hooryleen is? (for myself and others who have no knowledge of it). Ive heard that its a beauty in paradise but thats it.
Jazakallahu kahirun.
I found the age of the inhabitants of Paradise in both the English Translation of the Ibn Kathir and the Arabic.
In the English translation by Darussalam (Al-Mubarakpuri) it's in vol 9 page 430.
As for the Arabic version look in Tayseer Al-Ali Al-Qadeer Al-Ikhtasar Tafseer Ibn Kathir. It's located on page 293 in the middle of the page.
Don't look for the number 33 but look for the spelling of it in the Arabic and English.
