Question for a Muslim. Subject: Death?

To clarify, men do not get virgins. This is a common mis-interpretation that is used to trick young men into doing things they do not really want to do.

In heaven, everyone is surrounded by "houri" which are attractive companions that are not specified as either male or female.

Hi,

Here's the Islamic view:

1) Muslims do not believe that the body just rots. We believe that death occurs when the soul is taken out of the body. (Quran, Chapter 56, Verses 83-87). We believe in a hereafter where you are rewarded or punished according to your deeds. While everyone knows that the body rots ofcourse, Muslims believe that every human being will be revived in the hereafter (Quran, Chapter 36, Verses 78-79).

2) What happens to a person after death is dependent on her/his deeds and intentions and on the grace of God. Being a man or a woman has absolutely nothing to do with what happens to you after death. (Quran, Chapter 34, Verses 4-5)

I hope that helps.

The Book Pertaining to Paradise, Its Description, Its Bounties and Its Intimates (Kitab Al-Jannat wa Sifat Naimiha wa Ahliha) [040:6782] Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said that Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, said: I have prepared for My pious servants which the eye has seen not, and the ear has heard not and no human heart has ever perceived such bounties leaving aside those about which Allah has informed you. He then recited:" no soul knows What comfort has been hidden for thein".

This applies to both man and woman.

God says in the Quran "Those who believe and do righteous deeds- they are the best of creatures. Their reward is with Allah. Gardens of Eternity, beneath which rivers flow; they will dwell therein for ever; Allah well pleased with them, and they with Him." (Chapter 98, verses 7-8)

The address here is to everyone who believes and does righteous deeds...this does not distinguish between men and women... the reward is Paradise and the pleasure of God.

God also says: "O humankind! We created you from a single (pair) of a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes, that you may know each other (and not that you may despise each other). Indeed, the most honoured of you in the sight of Allah is (he/she who is) the most righteous of you. And Allah has full knowledge and is well acquainted (with all things). (Chapter 49, verse 13)

It is clear from this verse that it doesn't matter if you are male or female, black, white, green or blue, the most honoured in the sight of God is the one who is the most pious.

With regards to companions in paradise, the misconception is that they are virgin women for men. Not the case, they are beautiful companions for BOTH men and women.

Well, As far as i know (but ALLAH knows best) that a man and a woman are equally punished after death for their bad deeds (but its upto ALLAH if ALLAH wants to forgive that person because of any good deed he/she has done in life which pleased ALLAH very much). If you elaborate your question that what exactly you want to know about then i can might give you source to look at or answer it.

I am giving you one link which will tell you in detail that what will happen in grave after Death. If you want more help then please dont hesitate to contact me.

Thanks.

the same thing that happens to men happens to women. when we are buried the angel asks us the same questions men get asked etc. etc.

what happens to men, also happens to women. there's no difference between the two.
