Surah No.56 , Waqiah , Ayats No.7 to 40
Translation :
And you shall be sorted out into three catagories.Those on the Right Hand ( how happy) will be those on the Right Hand? And those on the Left Hand,-( how unlucky) will be those on the Left Hand? And those Foremost (in Faith) will be Foremost (in the Hereafter). Such people will be Nearest to Allah:(residing) In Gardens of Bliss: A good number of people from earlier generation and few from later times. (They will be) on Thrones covered (with gold and precious stones), Reclining on them, facing each other. They will be served by youths of perpetual (freshness), With goblets, beakers, and cups (filled) with the (liquid) from clear-flowing fountains: They will not receive after-ache and they will not suffer intoxication:They will get any fruit, which they may select: And the flesh of fowls, that they may desire. And (there will be) Companions with beautiful, big, and lustrous eyes,- Like hidden Pearls well-guarded. A Reward for the good deeds of their past (life). They will not hear any abusive language or sinful speech other than the saying, "Peace! Peace"
The Companions of the Right Hand,-( How Lucky ) will be the Companions of the Right Hand? (They will be) among Lote-trees without thorns, Among Talh trees with flowers (or fruits) piled one above another,- They will be in shade long-extended, Water flowing constantly, And fruit in abundance. Whose season is not limited, nor (supply) is not restricted , And on Thrones (of Dignity), raised high. We have created (their Companions) of special creation. And made them virgin and pure , - Beloved (by nature), equal in age,- for the Companions of the Right Hand. A (goodly) number from those of earlier generation, And a (goodly) number from those of later times.
Comments :
Special creation of companions (females) for those people who will be in Paradise is reference to those women who are righteous and doing good deeds in this world. They will not only be allowed to enter Heaven but will also be reunited with their husbands, provided they are also in the Paradise. They will be then wed with their earlier husbands . This signifies the virtuous women of the world, who will enter Paradise on the basis of their faith and good works. Allah will make them young no matter how aged they might have died in the world; will make them beautiful whether or not they were beautiful in the world; and will make them virgins whether they died virgins in the world or after bearing children. If their husbands also entered Paradise with them, they would be joined with them, otherwise AIIah will wed them to another dweller in Paradise. This very explanation of this verse has been reported from the Holy Prophet (upon whom be peace) in several Ahadith. According to Shama il Tirmidhi, an old woman requested the Holy Prophet to pray for her admission to Paradise. The Holy Prophet replied: "No old woman will enter Paradise." Hearing this the woman went back crying. Thereupon the Holy Prophet said to the people: "Tell her that she will not enter Paradise as an old woman, for Allah says: `We shall create them anew and make them virgins'." Ibn Abi Hatim has related, on the authority of Hadrat Salamah bin Yazid, that he heard the Holy Prophet ( upon whom be peace) explain this verse, thus: "This implies the women of the world; whether they died virgins or married." Tabarani contains a lengthy tradition related from Hadrat Umm Salamah according to which she asked the Holy Prophet the meaning of the several references in the Qur'an to the women of Paradise. In answer, he explained this very verse and said: "These are the women who died as aged and decayed women, with sticky eyes and gray hair; alter this old age Allah will again make them young and virgins." Hadrat Umm Salamah asked: "If a woman had several husbands in the world, one after the other, to whom will she belong in Paradise ?'' The Holy Prophet replied "She will he asked to make her own choice, and she will choose the one who had the best moral character. She will say: O my Lord, make me his wife, for he was the best in his conduct and dealings with me. O Umm Salamah, good moral conduct has carried off all the good of this world and the Hereafter."
