THE HOURIS OF JANNAH

 FAJR REMINDER: THE HOURIS OF JANNAH

By: Umm Affān

Shawwāl 24, 1447 (12-April-2026)


How delightful and breathtaking Jannah (Paradise) truly is! Its beauty and comfort are so overwhelming that even the one with the least share of its blessings will feel as though he possesses the greatest fortune of all.


Abū Sa’īd Al-Khudri (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhu) narrated that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “The lowest of people in status in Paradise will be a man whose face Allāh turns away from the Fire towards Paradise, and shows him a tree giving shade. He will say, ‘O Lord, bring me closer to that tree so that I may be in its shade… Then he will enter his house (in Paradise) and his two wives (from among Al-Ḥūr al-'ayn) with large and dark eyes will come in and will say to him, ‘Praise be to Allāh who brought you to life for us and brought us to life for you.’ Then he will say, ‘No one has been given what I have been given.’” [Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 188]


From the immense favors that Allāh has prepared for the believing men in Jannah are Al-Ḥūr al-‘Ayn—pure and beautiful companions of Paradise. They are righteous wives, untouched by any man or jinn before them, created as a reward for the people of Eemān. Allāh says: “And (there will be) Houris (fair females) with wide, lovely eyes (as wives for the pious). Like unto preserved pearls. A reward for what they used to do.” [Sūrah Al-Wāqi’ah (55): 22]


Their beauty is beyond human imagination. It is described in such a way that even the marrow of their shins can be seen from beneath their garments due to their radiance and purity. Anas Ibn Mālik (Raḍiyallāhu ‘Anhu) reported that he heard the Messenger of Allāh (ﷺ) say: “…If a woman from among the people of Paradise were to look at the people of this earth, she would light up all that is in between them and fill it with fragrance. The veil on her head is better than this world and all that is in it.’” [Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 2796] Subḥānallāh!


I beseech Allāh, out of His Mercy and Generosity, to grant us and our husbands entry into Jannah, where they will be united with us and blessed with Al-Ḥūr al-‘Ayn. Aameen.

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will ...

HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum Al-Khamis, 22nd day of Jumaadal Uula 1447AH, Thursday, 13th November, 2025.  *_HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN_*. BismilLah.  When we help our brothers and sisters in Islam, in reality, we are helping ourselves. The Messenger of ALLAH (S.A.W) said: He who relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, ALLAH Azzawajallah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Judgment. He who makes easy what is difficult, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will make it easy for him in the world and the hereafter. He who conceals the faults of a Muslim, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will conceal his faults in this ALLAH Azzawajallah world and the Hereafter, for ALLAH helps the servant as long as he helps his brother. Source: Ṣaḥīḥ "Muslim 2699. AlhamdulilLah.  With this I hope with immediate effect we will all strive to help each other in any possible way such as making dua for each other, supporting our relatives and those in need in ou...

BEST TIME FOR TAHAJJUD

 *BEST TIME FOR TAHAJJUD* It is best to delay this prayer to the last third portion of the night. Abu Hurairah reports that the Messenger of Allah said: "Our Lord descends to the lowest heaven during the last third of the night, inquiring: 'Who will call on Me so that I may respond to him? Who is asking something of Me so I may give it to him? Who is asking for My forgiveness so I may forgive him?"' This is related by the group. 'Amr ibn Abasah reports that he heard the Prophet say: "The closest that a slave comes to his Lord is during the middle of the latter portion of the night. If you can be among those who remember Allah, the Exalted One, at that time then do so." This is related by al-Hakim who grades it sahih according to Muslim's standards, and at-Tirmizhi calls it hasan sahih. AnNasa'i and Ibn Khuzaimah also recorded it. Abu Muslim asked Abu Zharr: "Which late-night prayer is the best?" He said: "I asked the Messenger of A...
