AWW, Insha-allah, in the hearafter everyone wants to be with the righteous of the people, insha-allah my and your abode will be in jannatul firdous. However, if you were asked by Allah to who you wanted to be with in Jannah as a friend or companion who would it be ?. No doubt everyone wants to be with prophet [saw] however, name other four people that you'd want to be with. Name four people: My four are: Hazrat Umar R.A.(allah be pleased with him) Hazrat Hamza R.A.(allah be pleased with him) Imam Abu Hanifa.(allah be pleased with him) Mee wife. Of course I could be your companion as well, as long as you are in jannatul firdous, ameen. Salaams Hanif

[slm] Interesting question. Note it says who you want to be with. I wouldn't want to be with my family, heck they give me enough headaches here and probably even in Jannah too ;-D :) :D As long as they're in Jannah, I'm happy, so I'd want to be able to chill on my own and explore :D ;) So who would I want to be with.... 1) Mum definately, so I can always see a real smile on her face and of course tell her of my adventures in Jannah :) 2) Prophet Isa(pbuh) 3)...... 4)........ Will have to think of the other 2 but probably another Prophet and a close friend of mine. This is going deep but I whenever I think of Jannah I always picture myself sitting alone in peace or chatting to an Angel, far away from any humans. Maybe we see Heaven as a sanctury from human beings whom we associate so many of our troubles with. [wlm]

[slm] Since we're talking about jannah, and who we would like to pass our time with, it reminded me of something i thought i had read. Is it true that you will be reunited w/ your spouse in jannah? If it is true, I would assume that this would only happen if both were worthy enough to make it there. And then does the same go for your family? and what about the hoor al aein? men get them as companions, correct? what about women, is there something equivalent for them too? [wlm] Ruqayyah

[quote] Is it true that you will be reunited w/ your spouse in jannah? If it is true, I would assume that this would only happen if both were worthy enough to make it there. And then does the same go for your family? [/quote] [slm] That is a very good and thought provoking question. I wonder the same all the time because our family are dear to us and naturally we would want them to be in jannah, but what if, as you correctly stated, they are not worthy of heaven?   I have read that the  Prophet(pbuh) did say "you will be with whom you love" so this includes family but at the same time there must be a balance between Allah's infinte mercy and ultimate justice. It is known that people will be transferred from Hell to Heaven after serving their punishment so maybe we'll have to wait a little :o Hadith does say believers will pull out of Hellfire those whom we recognise who have an atoms weight of good in their hearts and then upon being brought forward to Allah, the Prophet will intercede on their behalf. [i]narrated that Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri: “The Messenger of Allaah (pbuh) said: ‘By the One in Whose hand is my soul, You cannot be more pressing in claiming from me a right that has been clearly proved to be yours than the believers in interceding with the Almighty for their brothers on that Day, when they see themselves safe. They will say, “O Allah! (Save) our brothers (for they) used to pray with us, fast with us and also do good deeds with us.” Allah will say, “Go and take out (of Hell) everyone whom you recognize.” Allah will forbid the Fire to burn the faces of those sinners. So they will bring forth many people who were in the Fire up to their calves or their knees.” (Narrated by Muslim,269)[/i] Theres also a more detailed version in Bukhari.

Assalamu alaikum, From what I understand, families will be reunited in Jannah. In fact it says so in the Qur'an (only i can't quote the ayah exactly but it's about people who have faith and whose children follow them in their faith, how their children will follow them to jannah).  I just recently saw an imam being asked about members of the family who are in different levels of jannah.  He said that they will be united at the highest level, like if your father is at a really high level and the rest are lower he can bring you to his level because you are with those whom you love in Jannah. We are also remarried to our spouses.  If a woman was married several times, she chooses the spouse she wants to be with :)   The people I'd like to be with in Jannah?  Insha Allah (if I ever make it!) I'll be with my family because I love them, but the other people I would really like to meet in Jannah are Khadeeja, Aisha, Fatima the Prophet's daughter and Abu Bakr Assiddeeq because they were the people that he loved most (saw).

Question #8068 If a woman dies, and she had more than one husband in her lifetime, who will she be with in Paradise? Answer Praise be to Allaah. There are three scholarly opinions on this matter: That she will be with the one who was best in character and conduct with her in this world; That she will choose between them; That she will be with the last of her husbands. The best and most correct of these views is the third one, concerning which there is a hadeeth attributed to the Prophet  (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) (marfoo’): “Any woman whose husband dies and she marries someone else after him, she will be with the last of her husbands.” This was classed as saheeh by Al-Albaani (may Allaah have mercy on him) in Saheeh Al-Jaami’, 2704, and in Al-Silsilah al-Saheehah, 1281. This is by way of general response to the question. A detailed discussion of the evidence for the three points of view follows: The evidence for the first view: Al-Qurtubi said: Abu Bakr ibn al-Najjaad said: Ja’far ibn Muhammad ibn Shaakir told us, ‘Ubayd ibn Ishaaq al-‘Attaar told us, Sinaan ibn Haaroon told us, from Humayd from Anas: that Umm Habeebah the wife of the Prophet  (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “O Messenger of Allaah, if a woman had two husbands in this life, then they all died and came together in Paradise, with which of them would she be – the first or the last?” He said: “With the one whose attitude and conduct with her was best, O Umm Habeebah; a good attitude brings one the best of this world and the Hereafter.” (Al-Tadhkirah fi Ahwaal al-Mawtaa wa’l-Aakhirah, 2/278). I say: this hadeeth is da’eef jiddan (very weak), and has two things wrong with its isnaad: ‘Ubayd ibn Ishaaq al-‘Attaar and Sinaan ibn Haaroon. The former is da’eef jiddan, and the latter is da’eef. The views of the ‘ulamaa’: It was reported that Yahyaa ibn Ma’een said: ‘Ubayd ibn Ishaaq al-‘Attaar is nothing (i.e., what he says is not to be taken into account). Abu Haatim al-Raazi said: we think that he is a good person, but he is not very reliable and there are some odd things in his ahaadeeth. In al-Du’afaa’ wa’l-Matrookeen by al-Nasaa’i (p.72), it says: his hadeeth is matrook (to be ignored, not accepted). Al-Dhahabi said: he was classed as da’eef (weak) by Yahyaa. Al-Bukhaari said: he has some some munkar ahaadeeth. Al-Azdi said: his hadeeth is matrook. Al-Daaraqutni said: (he is) da’eef. Abu Haatim, on the other hand, accepted him! Ibn ‘Udayy said: in general his ahadeeth are munkar. (Meezaan al-I’tidaal, 5/24) Ibn ‘Udayy said in al-Kaamil (5/347): this hadeeth is one of his munkar reports. And he said: most of what he reported is either munkar with regard to the isnaad (chain of narrators) or munkar with regard to the matn (text of the hadeeth). With regard to Sinaan ibn Haaroon: Ibn Hibbaan said: His ahaadeeth are very munkar, he narrated munkar reports from al-mashaaheer. Yahyaa ibn Ma’een said: the hadeeth of Sinaan ibn Haaroon al-Burjami are nothing (are not to be accepted). (Al-Majrooheen, 1/354) al-‘Aqeeli mentioned him in al-Du’afaa’ (2/171) and mentioned this hadeeth narrated by him. = Therefore, this hadeeth is not valid to be used as evidence. It is da’eef jiddan (very weak), so this opinion does not count. The second view which is that a woman will choose between her husbands. I could not find any evidence for those who state this. In al-Tadhkirah fi Ahwaal al-Mawtaa wa’l-Aakhirah (2/278), this matter is mentioned, then the author says: and it is said that she will have the choice, if she had a husband.” Al-‘Ajlooni said: … and it was said that she will be with the best of them in character and conduct, and it was said that she will have the choice. (Kashf al-Khafaa’, 2/392). This is the view regarded as most correct by Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allaah preserve him), as stated in his Fataawaa, 2/53) The third view This view is supported by plenty of evidence: Imaam al-Tabaraani said: 3130 Bakr told us, he said, Muhammad ibn Abi’l-Sirri al-‘Asqallaani told us, he said, al-Waleed ibn Muslim told us, he said, Abu Bakr ibn ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Abi Maryam told us, from ‘Atiyah ibn Qays al-Kilaa’i who said: Mu’aawiyah ibn Abi Sufyaan proposed marriage to Umm al-Darda’ after Abu’l-Darda’ had passed away. Umm al-Darda’ said: I heard Abu’l-Darda’ say: I heard the Messenger of Allaah  (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: any woman whose husband dies and she marries someone else after him, she will be with the last of her husbands, and I would not choose you over Abu’l-Darda’. So Mu’aawiyah wrote to her (saying), you have to fast, for it is a protection. (al-Mu’jam al-Awsat, 3/275) I say: there are two problems with this hadeeth: the fact that Abu Bakr ibn Abi Maryam is da’eef, and the fact that al-Waleed ibn Muslim did not clearly state haddathanaa ([So and so] told us) in the rest of the isnaad. The views of the ‘ulamaa’: Ibn Hibbaan said: Abu Bakr ibn Abi Maryam was one of the best of the people of al-Shaam, but he had a bad memory and would narrate things about which he was obviously confused. The problem is not so bad that everything he narrated deserves to be rejected (matrook), but neither is he so trustworthy that what he says can be taken as evidence. In my view his reports should not be used as evidence if the isnaad is only through him. (al-Majrooheen, 3/146) The tadlees (deception) of al-Waleed ibn Muslim is well known. His tadlees gives the impression that all the narrators are equal, by inserting the name of a da’eef narrator between the names of two thiqah (trustworthy) narrators. Hence the scholars stipulated that the reports of narrators of this type can only be accepted if they clearly state “haddathanaa” ([So and so] told us) in every stage of the isnaad after their name is mentioned. (See: al-Tabyeen li Asmaa’ al-Mudalliseen, by Sabt Ibn al-‘Ajami, p. 235; and Tabaqaat al-Mudalliseen, by al-Haafiz ibn Hajar, p. 51) Imaam Abu’l-Shaykh al-Asbahaani said: Ahmad ibn Ishaaq al-Jawhari told us, he said, Ismaa’eel ibn Zaraarah told us, he said, Abu’l-Maleeh al-Raqqi told us from Maymoon ibn Mahraan from Umm al-Darda’ from Abu’l-Darda’ that the Prophet  (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said that a woman will be with the last of her husbands. (Tabaqaat al-Muhaaditheen bi Asbahaan, 4/36) I say, the men of the hadeeth (isnaad) are thiqaat mashhooroon (trustworthy and well known), apart from Ahmad ibn Ishaaq al-Jawhari, for whom I cannot find any biographical details apart from the fact that Abu’l-Shaykh himself stated that this was one of his hasan ahaadeeth. If this is indeed the case, then this is the best isnaad concerning this matter. And Allaah knows best. Al-Khateeb al-Baghdaadi said: 4803 Samurah ibn Hajar Abu Hajar al-Khurasaani went and settled in Al-Anbaar, where he narrated from Hamzah ibn Abi Hamzah al-Nusaibi and ‘Ammaar ibn ‘Ata’ al-Khurasaani and al-Rabee’ ibn Badr; Ishaaq ibn Bahlool al-Tanookhi narrated from him, he informed us, ‘Ali ibn Abi ‘Ali told us, Abu Ghaanim Muhammad ibn Yoosuf al-Azraq told us, my father told us, he said, my grandfather told us, Samurah ibn Hajar Abu Hajar al-Khurasaani told us from Hamzah al-Nusaibi from ibn Abi Maleekah from ‘Aa’ishah that the Prophet  (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “A woman will be with the last of her husbands.” (Taareekh Baghdaad, 9/228) I said, this hadeeth is da’eef jiddan (very weak); it includes Hamzah al-Nusaibi, who is da’eef jiddan. The views of the ‘ulamaa’: Imaam al-Nasaa’i said: The hadeeth (of Hamzah ibn al-Nusaibi) is to be rejected (matrook). (al-Du’afaa’ wa’l-Matrookeen, p. 39) Ibn al-Jawzi said: Ahmad said: the hadeeth (of Hamzah ibn al-Nusaibi) is to be rejected (matrooh). Yahyaa said: he is nothing, he is not even worth a penny. Al-Bukhaari and al-Raazi said: his hadeeth is munkar. Al-Nasaa’i and al-Daaraqutni said: the hadeeth (of Hamzah ibn al-Nusaibi) is to be rejected (matrook). Ibn ‘Udayy said: he fabricates ahaadeeth. Ibn Hibbaan said: he is the only thiqah (trustworthy) narrator who transmitted fabricated ahaadeeth and it looks as if he is deliberately narrating them; it is not permissible to report from him. (al-Du’afaa’ wa’l-Matrookeen by Ibn al-Jawzi, 1/237) Al-Bayhaqi said: Muhammad ibn ‘Abd-Allaah al-Haafiz informed us, Abu’l-‘Abbaas Muhammad ibn Ya’qoob told us, Yahyaa ibn Abi Taalib told us, Ishaaq ibn Abi Taalib told us, Ishaaq ibn Mansoor told us, ‘Eesaa ibn ‘Abd al-Rahmaan al-Sulami told us, from Abu Ishaaq from Silah from Hudhayfah (may Allaah be pleased with him), that he said to his wife, “If you want to be my wife in Paradise, do not marry anyone after I die, for in Paradise a woman will be with the last of her husbands in this world. This is why Allaah forbade the wives of the Prophet  (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) to marry anyone after he died, because they will be his wives in Paradise.” (al-Sunan, 7/69) I say: the isnaad includes Abu Ishaaq al-Subay’i, who is mudallis and may mix things up, so the report is da’eef. The views of the ‘ulamaa’: See: Man rumiya bi’l-Ikhtilaat by al-Taraabulsi (p. 64) and Tabaqaat al-Mudalliseen by Ibn Hajar (p. 42). It was classed as da’eef by al-‘Allaamah al-Shaykh al-Albaani (may Allaah have mercy on him) in al-Silsilah al-Saheehah (1281). A report narrated by Ibn ‘Asaakir (19/193/1) from ‘Ikrimah: Asmaa’ bint Abi Bakr was married to al-Zubayr ibn al-‘Awwaam, who was strict with her. She came to her father and complained to him about that, and he said: O my daughter, have patience, for if a woman has a righteous husband, then he dies, and she does not marry anyone after him, they will be joined together in Paradise. Shaykh al-Albaani (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: The men of this report are thiqaat (trustworthy), but there is Irsaal ( a break in the chain), because ‘Ikrimah never met Abu Bakr, but he may have heard this report from Asmaa’ bint Abi Bakr. And Allaah knows best. Al-Silsilah al-Saheehah, 3/276. Conclusion The view that a woman will be with the husband who was best in character and conduct with her in this world has no saheeh evidence to support it. The view that a woman will have the choice of whichever husband she wishes to be with has no evidence to support it at all. The view that she will be with the last of her husbands is the view that is most likely to be correct, because the hadeeth of Umm al-Dardaa’ is likely to be hasan and marfoo’ (attributed to the Prophet  (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)). It is supported by the reports of Hudhayfah and Asmaa’ which are mawqoof (their isnaads stop at the Sahaabi and are not directly attributed to the Prophet  (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)). They are fit to be taken as a corroboration of the marfoo’ report and as proof that there is a reasonable basis for this view. The hadeeth was classed as saheeh by al-‘Allaamah Shaykh al-Albaani in al-Silsilah al-Saheehah (1281). In any case, we prefer it to mere opinion. And Allaah knows best. O Allaah, bestow Your blessings and peace upon Muhammad and his family and companions. Islam Q&A (www.islam-qa.com)

Assalamu alaikum Hmm, jazak Allah khair, I stand corrected :) however, that's certainly a discouragement for anyone marrying after their husband dies if they want to be reunited with him! Aren't you with whomever you love in Jannah? Ok never mind I'm not going to argue with any scholars! :-)

[/quote] I don't want this discussion to end this way- there has to be more on the subject. For example: Woman married to a man- deeply loves him- he dies. She remarries- 2nd husband is a jerk. She makes it to heaven.It's Paradise!!!!!!!! Other than perhaps the 2nd husband being totally different in Heaven..... Allah swt knows what we do not...

As Salamu Alaykum, No doubt, as the original posts stated, it would be the Prophet Muhammed, SAWS, first. But having to select someone else, I would have to say First, would be Umar ibn Khattab, RA, although I am not sure I would have the gall to approach him, I would like to see him and be in his presence insha'Allah. Second, would be Abu Bakr as Saddiqi, RA, as no doubt the Prophet, SAWS, loved him very much and chose him as a very close companion, and I am too would very much like to be in his presence. Third, is my wife of course.  It is her companionship that has brought me so much comfort in the dunya, that I could not imagine at this point any comfort in the akhira without her.  Truly Allah SWT knows who what will happen to me in the future, and whether my love for her will grow greater still. Fourth, is a tie between Hadrat Ali, and Uthman, RA.  I would not like to hope to meet others who I am not sure will be there in Jannah, (except my wife).  And the character of these two Companions, are vouched for by the Prophet, SAWS, and their deeds and actions amaze me such that I would like to see what they look like and spend time with them. I am not worried about the who and what of Jannah, as inadequacy, loss, ill feelings, and regret will be washed away by that special river(s) flowing before it.  Surely Allah SWT has the power to change our hearts and reawaken us with only the need for Allah SWT to be well pleased with us, insha'Allah. I like all of the choices other than those who also selected the ones I did, as well. Regards, Qamar Akbal Kaan
