Intoduction to hoors of Jannah (Paradise):

*Definition of Houris (also called: hoor al-Ayn/hur ul-Ayn/hoors/hurs) from Noble Quran:

"Very fair females created by Allah as such not from the off-spring of Adam, with intense black irises of their eyes and intense white scleras". [Noble Quran; Glossary; Houris]

The Houris (hoors/hoor al-Ayn) have variously been described as being "chaste females", "restraining their glances", "modest gaze", "wide and beautiful/lovely eyes", "untouched / with hymen unbroken by sexual intercourse", "like pearls", "virgins", "voluptuous/full-breasted", "with large, "non-menstruating/urinating/defecating and childfree", round breasts which are not inclined to hang", "companions of equal age", "transparent to the marrow of their bones", "eternally young", "hairless" , "pure", "beautiful", "white", "revirginating", "splendid beauty".

Now you can read some verses of the Holy Quran mentioning the attributes of Houris (Hoor al-ayn/Hurs):

"And with them will be chaste females, restraining their glances (desiring none except their husbands), with wide and beautiful eyes; (Delicate and pure) as if they were (hidden) eggs (well) preserved." [Sura As-SAffAt (37):40-48]

"And beside them will be chaste females (virgins) restraining their glances only for their husbands, (and) of equal ages." [Sura SAd (38):52]

"So (it will be), and We shall marry them to Houris (female fair ones) with wide, lovely eyes." [Sura Ad-DukhAn (44):51-55]

"They will recline (with ease) on thrones arranged in ranks. And We shall marry them to Houris (female, fair ones) with wide lovely eyes." [Sura At-TAr (52):20]

"Wherein both (gardens) will be those (maidens) restraining their glances upon their husbands, whom no man or jinn yatmithhunna (has opened their hymens with sexual intercourse) before them. Then which of the Blessings of your Lord will you both (jinns and men) deny? (In beauty) they are like rubies and coral." [Sura Ar-RahmAn (55):56-58]

"Therein (gardens) will be fair (wives) good and beautiful; ...Houris (beautiful, fair females) restrained in pavilions; ...Whom no man or jinn yatmithhunna (has opened their hymens with sexual intercourse) before them." [Sura Ar-RahmAn (55):70,72,74]

"And (there will be) Houris (fair females) with wide, lovely eyes (as wives for the pious), Like unto preserved pearls." [Sura Al-WAqi'ah (56):22-23]

Verily, We have created them (maidens) of special creation. And made them virgins; Loving (their husbands only), equal in age. [Sura Al-WAqi'ah (56):37-40]

And young full-breasted (mature) maidens of equal age; [Sura An-Naba' (78):33]

Now you can read some Hadiths regarding the attributes of Houris (Hur ul-ayn/Hoors):

AllAh (SWT) says in the Holy Quran:

"Houris (beautiful, fair females) restrained in pavilions

...With Whom no man or jinn "yatmithhunna" (has opened their hymens with sexual intercourse) before them." [Sura Ar-RahmAn (55):72,74]

"The statement of Allah in above mentioned ayah, Beautiful fair females restrained in pavilions. Narrated Qaisi, Allah's Apostle said, 'In Paradise there is a pavilion made of a single hollow pearl sixty miles wide, in each corner there are wives (houris) who will not see those in the other corners; and the believers (Muslims) will visit and enjoy them.'" [Al-Bukhari vol.6:402 and prior p.374]

According to Ibn Kathir (died 1373 CE) in his Holy Quranic commentary (Tafsir) of the above mentioned Surah Al-Rahman (55), verse 72: "The Prophet Muhammad was heard saying: 'The smallest reward for the people of paradise is an abode where there are 80,000 servants and 72 wives (houris), over which stands a dome decorated with pearls, aquamarine, and ruby, as wide as the distance from Al-Jabiyyah [a Damascus suburb] to Sana'a [Yemen]'." [Tafsir Ibn Kathir]

The Prophet (OU,U OU,U,U OU,UU UOU,U) said, "If a houri looks down from her abode in heaven onto the earth, the whole distance (space) shall be filled with light and fragrance. A houri's face is more radiant than a mirror, and one can see one's image in her cheek. The marrow of her shins is visible to the eyes." [Mishkat, volume 3,pg 83-97]

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "The first batch (of people) who will enter Paradise will be (glittering) like the full moon, and the batch next to them will be (glittering) like the most brilliant star in the sky. Their hearts will be as if the heart of a single man, for they will have neither enmity nor jealousy amongst themselves; everyone will have two wives from the houris, (who will be so beautiful, pure and transparent that) the marrow of the bones of their legs will be seen through the bones and the flesh." [Al-Bukhari vol.4, book 54, number 476]

Narrated Anas (R.A.): The Prophet (OU,U OU,U,U OU,UU UOU,U) said, "A single endeavor (of fighting) in Allah's Cause in the afternoon or in the forenoon is better than all the world and whatever is in it. A place in Paradise as small as the bow or lash of one of you is better than all the world and whatever is in it. And if a houri from Paradise appeared to the people of the earth, she would fill the space between Heaven and the Earth with light and pleasant scent and her head cover is better than the world and whatever is in it." [Al-Bukhari volume 4, book 52, number 53]

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "The first group of people who will enter Paradise, will be glittering like the full moon and those who will follow them, will glitter like the most brilliant star in the sky. They will not urinate, relieve nature, spit, or have any nasal secretions. Their combs will be of gold, and their sweat will smell like musk. The aloes-wood will be used in their centers. Their wives will be houris. All of them will look alike and will resemble their father Adam (in statute), sixty cubits tall." [Al-Bukhari vol.4, book 55, number 544]

The Prophet (OU,U OU,U,U OU,UU UOU,U) said: "A houri is a most beautiful young woman with a transparent body. The marrow of her bones is visible like the interior lines of pearls and rubies. She looks like red wine in a white glass. She is of white color, and free from the routine physical disabilities of an ordinary woman such as menstruation, menopause, urinal and offal discharge, child bearing and the related pollution. A houri is a girl of tender age, having large breasts which are round (pointed), and not inclined to dangle. Houris dwell in palaces of splendid surroundings." [At-Tirmizi, volume 2, pg 35-40]

In book by the great Imam Ghazzali: Ihya Uloom Ed-Din. Volume 4, Page-4.430;

"According to Prophet Muhammad (OU,U OU,U,U OU,UU UOU,U) the Hurs (Houris) of Paradise will be pure womena"free of menstruation, urine, stool, cough and children. The Hurs will sing in Paradise on divine purity and praisea"we are most beautiful Hurs and we are for the honored husbands. Muhammad also said that an inmate of Paradise will have the sexual strength of 70 men. Muhammad said, "An inmate of Paradise will have 500 Hurs, 4,000 unmarried women and 8,000 widowed women. Each of them will keep embracing him for the duration of his whole worldly life."

Volume 4, Page-4.428 of the same book: The Prophet Muhammad (OU,U OU,U,U OU,UU UOU,U) said once to Jaber: "Shall I not give you the news of the windows of Paradise ? We said: 0 Messenger of God give us that information. He said: Those are made of emeralds and jewels. Their inner parts will be seen from their outer parts. Therein there will be such enjoyments, amusements and joys as no eye has seen, no ear has heard and no heart has conceived. I said: 0 Messenger of God, who will be the owners of those windows? He said: Those who spread peace, give food, keep fasts, pray at night when the people remain asleep. We asked: 0 Messenger of God, who will be able to do that? He said: My people will be able to do that. I am saying it to you. He who meets his brother, salutes him and replies to his salute,' spreads peace; and he who gives food to his wife and members of his family to their satisfaction gives food. He, who keeps fast of Ramazan and three days every month, keeps fast as it were for the whole year. He who prays Isha and Fajr in congregation prays as it were the whole night when the people remain asleep. God says: The fine buildings in Eden Paradise.' The Prophet said regarding its meanings: These places are builts of emeralds and jewels and in each building there will be 70 rooms of red colour and in each room 70 sub-rooms of green colour and in each sub-room there will be one throne and over each throne 70 beds of varied colours and on each bed a hoor al-ayn (houri- a girl having wide lovely eyes with intense black irises). There will be 70 dining cloth in each room and 70 kinds of food in each dining cloth. There will be seven girls in each room.Each believer will be given such strength in the morning as he can cohabit with them".

Abu 'Umama (Allah be pleased with him) reported that Allah's Messenger (OU,U OU,U,U OU,UU UOU,U) said: "Allah will not admit anyone in the Paradise but Allah, the Mighty and glorious will marry him with 72 wives, two will be from virgin (houris) with big eyes and 70 will be his inheritance from the people of the Hell-Fire*." Every one of them will have a pleasant vagina and he (the man) will have sexual organ that does not bend down during sexual intercourse (perpetual erection)." [Ibn Majah, volume 5, number 4337]

*Hashim b. Khalid (R.A.) says, 'The words "out of his inheritance (due) from the denizens of the Fire", mean men who will enter the Fire (Hell) and the inmates of the paradise will inherit their wives just as the Faroah's wife (Asiah A.S.) will be inherited (by the Muslims-believers).

Mention of the hope of maidens of paradise after martyrdom in Al-Tabari vol.19 p.121; "Yet, by God, I feel happy for what we shall soon meet, for, by God, if all there is between us and the maidens of Paradise (hur al-ayn/houri) is that these people should come against us with their swords, then I want them to come against us with their swords."

Abu Hurayrah (R.A.) narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (OU,U OU,U,U OU,UU UOU,U) said that: "Every man in heaven will go to 72 of the creatures of Allah (houris) and 2 of the women of mankind, these two women are superior to the creatures of Allah (houris) with their worshipping (good deeds) they had performed in this world." [Bayhaqi, al-Bas wa'n-Nushur; Tabari, Tafsir; Abu Yala, Ibn Hajar, Fathu'l-Baari, Tabarani and others]

Houris do not want wives to annoy their husbands, since the houris will also be the spouses [i.e. wives] of the Muslim husbands in the afterlife; ---"Mu'adh b. Jobal (R.A.) reported that Allah's Messenger (OU,U OU,U,U OU,UU UOU,U) said, 'A woman does not annoy her husband but his spouse from amongst the houris (maidens with wide eyes, intensely white and deeply black irises) will say: Do not annoy him, may Allah ruin you." He is with you as a passing guest. Very soon, he will part with you and come to us.'" [Ibn-i-Majah vol.3:2014 p.212]

Now from the above mentioned verses of Holy Quran and Hadiths we can summarize the characteristics of Houris (Hoors/Hur al-ayn) as follows;

* A houri is a most beautiful young woman with a transparent body. The marrow of her bones is visible like the interior lines of pearls and rubies. She looks like a red wine in a white glass.
* She is of white color, and free from the routine physical disabilities of an ordinary woman such as menstruation, menopause, urinal and offal discharge, child bearing and the related pollution.
* She is a woman characterized by modesty and flexing glances; she never looks at any man except her husband and feels grateful for being the wife of her husband.
* A houri is a young woman, free from odium and animosity. Besides, she knows the meaning of love and has the ability to put it into practice.
* A houri is an immortal woman, who does not age. She speaks softly and does not raise voice at her man; she is always reconciled with him. Having been brought up in luxury, she is a luxury herself.
* A houri is a girl of tender age, having large rising breasts which are round, and not inclined to dangle.
* Houris dwell in palaces of splendid surroundings.
* If a houri looks down from her abode in Heaven onto the earth, the whole distance shall be filled with light and fragrance
* A houri's face is more radiant than a mirror and one can see one's image in her cheek. The marrow of her shins is visible to the eyes.
* Every man who enters Paradise shall be given minimum seventy-two houris; no matter at what age he had died, when he enters Paradise, he will become a thirty-year-old and he will not age any further.
* Their glances, with big eyes (Of wonder and beauty)
* when a man turns his face away from her, she will become 70 times more beautiful in his eyes
* if she were to spit in the salty water of the seven occeans, then all the seven occeans would turn sweater than honey.

Also note that the Muslim women of this world will be superior to Houris (Hoors/Hur al-ayn) in Paradise:

*Definition of Houris (hoors/hur al-ayn) from Noble Quran:

"Very fair females created by Allah as such not from the off-spring of Adam, with intense black irises of their eyes and intense white scleras". [Noble Quran; Glossary; Houris]

So it is obvious that houris (hoor al-Ayn) will be different from the off-springs of the Prophet Adam (A.S.), and as humans are the most superior creation of Allah (SWT) so Muslim women are superior to houris just like we as humans are superior to Jinns, Angels and all other creatures of Allah (SWT) that exist. So a hoori who is one of the delights of Paradise, she has only been created in Paradise for the sake of someone else, and has been made the reward for the believing man for his righteous deeds.

But for Muslim women, they themselves are from the off-springs of Adam and the rewards of Paradise are created for them and on the contrary houris (hoors/hur al-ayn) themselves are from the rewards of Paradise.

Therefore it is clear that Muslim women will not feel jealous of the houris (hoor al-Ayn) as righteous women of this world will be much more superior and beautiful than houris (hoor al-Ayn), in Jannah (Paradise). Thus the Muslim women of this worldly life have superiority over houris (hoor al-Ayn) due to the acts of worship 00004000 and obedience that they performed in this world. Therefore, the believing (Muslim) women will enter Paradise just like the believing men. If a Muslim woman had a number of husbands, she, upon entering Paradise with them, would choose among them the one with the best character and behavior.

The following two Hadiths confirms the fact stated above:

Umme Salamah (Radiahallahu Anha) narrates that she said to the Prophet Muhammad (Sallallahu Alayhi Wasallam) "O RasAlullah, are the women of this world superior or the hArs (of Paradise)?" He replied, "The women of this world will have superiority over the hArs (houris) just as the outer lining of a garment has superiority over the inner lining." Umme Salamah R.A then asked, "O RasAlullah, what is the reason for this?" He answered, "Because they performed salAh, fasted, and worshipped [Allah]. Allah will put light on their faces and silk on their bodies. [The human women] will be fair in complexion and will wear green clothing and yellow jewelry. Their incense-burners will be made of pearls and their combs will be of gold. They will say, 'We are the women who will stay forever and we will never die. We are the women who will always remain in comfort and we will never undergo difficulty. We are the women who will stay and we will never leave. Listen, we are happy women and we will never become sad. Glad tidings to those men for whom we are and who are for us.'" [TabrAnA]

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]

Imam Qurtubi in his "at-Tadhkirah fi-Ahwalil Mawta wa'l-Akhirah (in Remembrance of the Affairs of the Dead and Doomsday)" and Ibn Kathir in his "al-Bidaya wa'n-Nihaya (Kitabu'l-Fitan wa'l-Malahim) the Termination of the Afflictions and Fierce Battles" tell the story of the songs of houri in heaven: "Houri will sing for their own husbands, songs are so marvelous that every hearer will be so pleased. Houri will say: "We are Houri who has not had a sin." The women of this world will reply them saying: "We are the fasters (who keep fast), and you are not, we are the prayers, but you are not and we are the givers of charity but you are not."

And there is another narration which is famous with the name "Hadith of Soor" narrated from Abu Hurayrah (R.A.) that the Prophet Muhammad (OU,U OU,U,U OU,UU UOU,U) said that: "Every man in heaven will go to 72 of the creatures of Allah (houris) and 2 of the women of mankind, these two women are superior to the creatures of Allah (houris) with their worshipping (good deeds) they had performed in this world." [Bayhaqi, al-Bas wa'n-Nushur; Tabari, Tafsir; Abu Yala, Ibn Hajar, Fathu'l-Baari, Tabarani and others]

Now some people, mostly non-muslims still ask a question that: there will be multiple wives or houris (hoor al-Ayn/hur ul-Ayn/hoors/hurs) in Islamic Paradise for Muslim men then what is for Muslim women?

As stated in above mentioned Hadiths the situation of the believing woman in Paradise will be better than the situation of the houris (hoor al-Ayn); she will be higher in status and more beautiful. If a righteous woman from among the people of this world enters Paradise, then she will do so as a reward for her righteous deeds and as an honor from Allah to her for her religious commitment and righteousness. As for the houri who is one of the delights of Paradise, is an immortal woman, who does not age. She speaks softly and does not raise voice at her man; she is always reconciled with him. Having been brought up in luxury, she is a luxury herself, she has only been created in Paradise for the sake of someone else, and has been made the reward for the believing man for his righteous deeds. There is a great difference between one who enters Paradise as a reward for her righteous deeds and the one who was created as a reward for one who did righteous deeds. The former is a queen and a princess, and the latter, no matter how beautiful she is, is undoubtedly lower in status than a queen, and she (houri) is subject to the command of her believing master (man) for whom Allah created her as a reward.

The main reason why the Quran and Hadith are stressing the fact that men will get Houris (Hoor al-Ayn) is because it more appealing to men than promising virgin men to women. Men are more sexually active and therefore are facing a lot of difficulty (especially in the teenage years) to remain chaste. There are a lot of temptations in this world. That is why that Allah keeps promising these virgin girls to those that remain patient and steadfast. That way, this motivates the unmarried men to remain chaste and be patient because they know they have something better waiting for them in the next life. As if they do not get it legally in the next life then they would get it illegally in this life.

Now with all these proofs you can easily invalidate the argument made by some non-muslims that women will not get any benefits out of the Islamic Paradise. The men and women are equal in the sight of Allah (SWT) except for those whom are more pious. Just because they're equal doesn't mean they're exactly the same. They have physical, mental and emotional differences. Men have superiority over women in certain aspects such as physical strength, while women have more superiority over men from a caring and nurturing perspective. In the same manner, like our differences, they may have rewards that are different from one another, but that in no way suggest inequality. For instance, if you want to reward your son for something, perhaps you'll let him play a video game for example, whereas if you want to reward your daughter, perhaps you'll let her invite her friend over, or buy her something nice.

Therefore, men and women have different needs and wants so obviously rewards would differ. But overall the rewards for both men and women will be equal (but not same) as Allah (SWT) says in the following verses of the Holy Quran:

"And whoever does righteous good deeds, male or female, and is a true believer in the Oneness of AllAh (Muslim), such will enter Paradise and not the least injustice, even to the size of a NaqAra (speck on the back of a datestone), will be done to them." [Surah An-NisA' (4):194]

"Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of IslAmic Monotheism) verily, to him We will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and We shall pay them certainly a reward in proportion to the best of what they used to do (i.e. Paradise in the Hereafter)." [Surah An-Nahl (16):97:]

Now following are some Hadiths mentioning the number of the Hoors (houris) that Muslims will get in addition to the wives of this world in Paradise:

According to Ibn Kathir (died 1373 CE) in his Holy Quranic commentary (Tafsir) of the above Surah Al-Rahman (55), verse 72: "The Prophet Muhammad was heard saying: 'The smallest reward for the people of paradise is an abode where there are 80,000 servants and 72 wives (houris), over which stands a dome decorated with pearls, aquamarine, and ruby, as wide as the distance from Al-Jabiyyah [a Damascus suburb] to Sana'a [Yemen]'." [Tafsir Ibn Kathir]

The Prophet Muhammad (OU,U OU,U,U OU,UU UOU,U) said: "Every man who enters paradise shall be given 72 (seventy-two) houris; no matter at what age he had died, when he is admitted into paradise, he will become a thirty-year-old, and shall not age any further. A man in paradise shall be given virility equal to that of one hundred men." [Tirmizi, vol. 2 states on page 138]

Narrated Al-Miqdam ibn Ma'dikarib: Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said, "The martyr receives six good things from Allah: he is forgiven at the first shedding of his blood; he is shown his abode in Paradise; he is preserved from the punishment in the grave; he is kept safe from the greatest terror; he has placed on his head the crown of honour, a ruby of which is better than the world and what it contains; he is married to 72 wives of the maidens with large dark eyes (houris); and is made intercessor for seventy of his relatives." [Tirmidhi:Hadith number 1067; and Ibn Majah]

In a book by the great Imam Ghazzali (R.A.): The Prophet Muhammad (OU,U OU,U,U OU,UU UOU,U) said once to Jaber: "Shall I not give you the news of the windows of Paradise ? We said: 0 Messenger of God give us that information. He said: Those are made of emeralds and jewels. Their inner parts will be seen from their outer parts. Therein there will be such enjoyments, amusements and joys as no eye has seen, no ear has heard and no heart has conceived. I said: 0 Messenger of God, who will be the owners of those windows? He said: Those who spread peace, give food, keep fasts, pray at night when the people remain asleep. We asked: 0 Messenger of God, who will be able to do that? He said: My people will be able to do that. I am saying it to you. He who meets his brother, salutes him and replies to his salute,' spreads peace; and he who gives food to his wife and members of his family to their satisfaction gives food. He, who keeps fast of Ramazan and three days every month, keeps fast as it were for the whole year. He who prays Isha and Fajr in congregation prays as it were the whole night when the people remain asleep. God says: The fine buildings in Eden Paradise.' The Prophet said regarding its meanings: These places are builts of emeralds and jewels and in each building there will be 70 rooms of red colour and in each room 70 sub-rooms of green colour and in each sub-room there will be one throne and over each throne 70 beds of varied colours and on each bed a hoor al-ayn (houri- a girl having wide lovely eyes with intense black irises). There will be 70 dining cloth in each room and 70 kinds of food in each dining cloth. There will be seven girls in each room.Each believer will be given such strength in the morning as he can cohabit with them". [Ihya Uloom Ed-Din.Volume 4, Page-4.428]

*From above mentioned Hadith a simple calculation will show that each believer will get 343,000 wives from houris (hur al-ayn) i.e: 70*70*70 = 343,000 houris/hoor al-ayn.

Narrated from Abu Hurayra (R.A.) that the Prophet Muhammad (OU,U OU,U,U OU,UU UOU,U) was asked: "O RasulAllah (OU,U OU,U,U OU,UU UOU,U)! Will we touch our wives in heaven? He (OU,U OU,U,U OU,UU UOU,U) replied: A man will touch 100 virgins a day." [Tabarani, al-Mucam as-Saghir & Awsat]

Narrated from Anas (R.A.) that the Prophet Muhammad (OU,U OU,U,U OU,UU UOU,U) said: "A believer man will have 73 wives in heaven. We asked him (OU,U OU,U,U OU,UU UOU,U): Will he able to do (i.e. have sex with all of them) this? And He (OU,U OU,U,U OU,UU UOU,U) replied: He will be given power of 100(men)." [Abu Na'eem Sifat al-Jannah]

Abu Hurayrah (R.A.) narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (OU,U OU,U,U OU,UU UOU,U) said that: "Every man in heaven will go to 72 of the creatures of Allah (houris) and 2 of the women of mankind, these two women are superior to the creatures of Allah (houris) with their worshipping (good deeds) they had performed in this world." [Bayhaqi, al-Bas wa'n-Nushur; Tabari, Tafsir; Abu Yala, Ibn Hajar, Fathu'l-Baari, Tabarani and others]

Doubtless, a believer will have many houris (hoor al-ayn/hoors/hurs) in heaven which are in addition to his wordly wives but exact number is not given.It implies that the people of Paradise will have these wives according to their degree i.e: those who are more pious will get more wives than others but as mentioned in the following Hadiths:

Abu 'Umama (R.A.) reported that Allah's Messenger (OU,U OU,U,U OU,UU UOU,U) said: "Allah will not admit anyone in the Paradise but Allah, the Mighty and glorious will marry him with 72 wives, two will be from virgin (houris/hoor al-ayn) with big eyes and seventy will be his inheritance from the people of the Hell-Fire*." Every one of them will have a pleasant vagina and he (the man) will have sexual organ that does not bend down during sexual intercourse (perpetual erection)." [Ibn Majah, vol.v, page 547: Hadis number 4337]

*Hashim b. Khalid says, 'The words "out of his inheritance (due) from the denizens of the Fire" in above stated Hadith, mean men who will enter the Fire and the inmates of the paradise will inherit their wives just as the Faroah's wife (Aasiah R.A.) will be inherited (by the believers).

The Prophet Muhammad (OU,U OU,U,U OU,UU UOU,U) was heard saying: 'The smallest reward for the people of paradise is an abode where there are 80,000 servants and 72 wives, over which stands a dome decorated with pearls, aquamarine, and ruby, as wide as the distance from Al-Jabiyyah [a Damascus suburb] to Sana'a [Yemen]'." [Tafsir Ibn Kathir]

So that is the minimmum what every Muslim man in Paradise will get.

Another important aspect in Paradise is that:Not just the reward but the beauty of the people of Paradise will also go on increasing with time as mentioned in the following Hadith:

Narrated Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "In Jannah there is a market to which the people will come every Friday. The northern wind will blow and shower fragrance on their faces and clothes and, consequently, it will enhance their beauty and loveliness. They will then return to their wives who will also have increased in their beauty and loveliness, and their families will say to them: 'We swear by Allah that you have been increased in beauty and loveliness since leaving us.' Thereupon they will reply: 'we swear by Allah that you have also been increased in beauty and loveliness since we left you.''' [Sahih Muslim]

Bazaar, where everything will be available, free of cost. Similarly, people will gather there for a time period equal to that of Jumu'ah (friday), as there will be no sun, nor night and day. Another speciality of Jannah is that the beauty and charm of men and women will go on increasing and so the love and affection between husbands and wives will also keep on progressing and increasing. It will be just the opposite of what happens here in this world.

One Important Note (Must Read):

Some Non-Muslims point out to verses in the Qur'an, which speak about how Muslim men would be able to have sex with the Houris in paradise. Then they exclaim that this is immorality or fornication. However, we must pay close attention to what the Quran actually says...

AllAh (SWT) says in the Holy Quran:

"So (it will be), and We shall marry them to Houris (female fair ones) with wide, lovely eyes." [Surah Ad-DukhAn (44):54]

"But those who believe (in the Oneness of AllAh - IslAmic Monotheism) and do deeds of righteousness, We shall admit them to Gardens under which rivers flow (Paradise), abiding therein f 00004000 orever. Therein they shall have AzwAjun Mutahharatun [purified mates or wives (having no menses, stools, urine, etc.)] and We shall admit them to shades wide and ever deepening (Paradise)." [Sura An-NisA' (4): 57]

The word used here is AZWAAJ. In Arabic, it means spouse. Notice, the key word, SPOUSES. The houris (hoors/hurs) will be the wives of Muslim men in Paradise. If a man has sex with his wife, is that fornication? No, of course not, she is his spouse. So, if a man can legitimately have sex with his spouse here on earth, then why can't a man legitimately have sex with his spouse in paradise.

Having said that, the gretest reward for the Muslim believers, men and women, in Jannah (Paradise) will be to view the Countenance (Apperance) of Allah (SWT). And for the believers there will be nothing more delightful than looking at Him;

This is mentioned in the following Hadiths:

Imam Ahmad recorded from Suhayb ibn Sinan ar-Rumi: The Messenger of Allah recited, (the words meaning), "For those who have done good is the best and even more." [Sura Yunus, 26] He said, "When the people of Paradise enter Paradise, a caller will say: 'O people of Paradise, Allah has promised you something that He wishes to fulfill.' They will reply: 'What is it Has He not made our Scale heavy Has He not made our faces white and delivered us from Fire?' He (the narrater) said: "Allah will then remove the veil (from their eyes), and they will look at the Countenance (Appearance) of Allah, the Mighty, the Majestic." He said, "By Allah, they have not been given anything dearer to them and more delightful than looking at Him." [Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Muslim]

Narrated Suhayb ibn Sinan ar-Rumi: The Apostle of Allah said: "When those deserving of Paradise would enter Paradise, the Blessed and the Exalted would ask: Do you wish Me to give you anything more? They would say: Has You not brightened our faces? Has You not made us enter Paradise and saved us from Fire? He (the narrator) said: He (God) would lift the veil (from their eyes), and of things given to them nothing would be dearer to them than the sight of their Lord, the Mighty and the Glorious." [Sahih Muslim, Book 1, Number 0347]

Doubtless we, the Muslim, men and women, are promissed to have what we want in Paradise (Jannah);

AllAh (SWT) says in the Holy Quran:

"Therein you shall have (all) that your inner selves desire, and therein you shall have (all) for which you ask for." [Sura Fussilat 41:31-32]
"They shall have all that they will desire with their Lord. That is the reward of MuhsinAn (pious-good doers)." [Az-Zumar (39);34]

Therefore in Paradise a Muslim, wether male or female, will have every thing that they wish for and they will abide therein forever. So we should strive for this absolute success by doing good and righteous deeds. There are a lot of temptations in this world (mostly created by satan) from which we have to seek refuge with AllAh alone and fear AllAh much and abstain from all kinds of sins and evil deeds which He has forbidden. And for that matter we have put our trust completely in Allah (SWT).

"Verily! he (satan) has no power over those who believe and put their trust only in their Lord (AllAh)."

"His (satan's) power is only over those who obey and follow him (satan), and those who join partners with Him (AllAh) [i.e. those who are MushrikAn-polytheists]." [Sura An-Nahl (16);99,100]

FSBO listings actually require you to have your property listed through flat fee MLS. This is a marketing tool that will save you hundreds upon hundreds of dollars.

Why use FSBO listings for your property

FSBO listings as well as flat fee MLS promises you a lot of things. These are the 10 reasons behind why you should use FSBO listings:

1. FSBO lessens the stress. While you think using an agent or a mediator will lessen your burden, this is not always the case. After all, you need to research about your agent first before you ever pick one. Using FSBO listings is better.

2. You can work at your own pace. Set your own schedule while listing your property FSBO. No one will rush you to do this or that.

3. Who's the ideal agent but you? Remember that buyers will always make sure they contact the seller of the home before closing the transaction. If they happen to see your property FSBO, they will contact you then you will be able to make the necessary sales talk and market your property better than agents will.
4. FSBO also increases your exposure. Listing for sale by owner properties will give you better marketing strategies. Just go for flat fee MLS and your property will be listed in multiple reputable sites for real estate business.

5. With FSBO, you're the boss. Nobody dictates you to do certain things when selling your property FSBO. You take charge of the decision-making process. You don't need an agent telling you things regarding advertising your property.

6. It lessens the need to pay for commission. Some agents may fool you into paying an amount based on the amount for which you sell your property. Well, you can save on that using FSBO listings or flat fee MLS.

7. Did you know you can save time on FSBO listings as well? Yes you can. Imagine the number of months your agents may work on selling your property? When using flat fee MLS, there is a better chance you will sell your property fast.

8. Selling your property FSBO is not exclusive within an area. You do not just increase your exposure to buyers because your ads are placed in real estate websites. You also get the chance to have buyers from other states.

9. You can assess buyer's interest. It is important to meet your potential buyers just as they feel it is important to meet the seller of FSBO properties. Take this as an opportunity for you to get a close encounter with them and see how interested they are on making an investment on your property.

10. It is a convenient choice. Having known all the 9 things mentioned above, you can utterly say that selling your property for sale by owner or FSBO will be of great help. It's a simple process that requires the basics of real estate business.

Now that you have known the reasons on why you should list your property FSBO, aren't you convinced that it is a good choice?

Holiday home ownership should be taken as seriously as home ownership. Okay, you might not be living there 24/7, but you will be spending lots of time there so you need to make sure you make the right decision.

South Lakeland Parks have nine holiday home parks across the North West of England with a wide range of holiday homes for sale. The nine holiday home parks can be found in countryside, lakeside and seaside locations. The countryside parks include Limefitt Holiday Park in the Lake District, Todber Holiday Park in the Ribble Valley and Gatebeck Holiday Park near Kendal. The lakeside parks include White Cross Bay Holiday Park and Fallbarrow Holiday Park, both situated on the shores of Lake Windermere. The seaside holiday parks are Regent Leisure Park, Ocean Edge Leisure Park, Marina Holiday Park and Hawthorne Holiday Park, all located around Morecambe Bay.

The range of holiday homes for sale at each park varies from park to park, some parks feature a wide range of holiday caravans and holiday lodges, where others only have a wide range of holiday caravans.

The range of holiday caravans for sale includes models by manufacturers such as Swift, Willerby Holiday Homes, ABI and Pemberton Leisure Homes. All of the caravan holiday homes available are built with quality, style and comfort in mind, providing you with the perfect place in which to relax.

The selection of holiday lodge homes to buy includes models from PEC Homes and Leisure, Pure Reiver and Oak Grove Cabins. All lodge holiday homes have been exquisitely designed to meet the most exacting standards and are finished to the highest specification.

Obviously some holiday home models are going to be bigger and cost more than others, so it makes sense to weigh up all your options carefully before deciding which holiday home to buy. When considering buying a holiday home you need to budget for additional running costs. Costs include rates, metered electric and metered or bottled gas.

If the idea of holiday home ownership appeals, then the next step is to contact South Lakeland Parks for a park visit, or a try before you buy break where you will be able to experience holiday home ownership before purchasing your perfect holiday home.

Your rooms will appear larger if you have lightly colored walls and maintain good lighting. If you do have any darkly painted walls, contemplate painting them with a white or off-white paint and increase the light emitted from the light bulbs in your home.

If you find odorous or overly stained carpets, it would be in your best interest to replace them. You can always choose to shampoo a carpet that doesn't require replacement. It is very essential that you clean and polish each and every window and mirror.

Pay close attention to detail while washing your oven and stove. Be sure to clean the drip pans under the burners. All grease and dirt build-up must be removed. The outside of the stove and oven must be polished until they appear remarkably shiny. Other areas that need close attention are the refrigerator, dishwasher, or any other appliances.

The window fixtures and blinds must be cleaned and repaired. Clean away the fingerprints that build up around the doorknobs and light switches. It's essential that you clean the wall around your trash cans, especially in the kitchen.

Scrub your kitchen countertops and get rid of any clutter on them. One must reduce the number of items in their kitchen cabinets as well as every cabinet in the house. The less clutter in these areas, the more appealing your house will be.

You must have your clothes appear very neat and organized in your closets. It is essential that your closets do not appear over crowded. Everything must appear spacious and clear. It is in your best interest to remove any excess items from the shelves and on the floor. Other problem areas that you should be aware of are the garage, basement, and attic space.

Check every room for odors. If you have become accustom to some smells, you can always get a neighbor to help you. Your for sale by owner home must look, smell, and feel as fresh, clean, and as new as possible.

In the event that the for sale by owner home has any leaks, rattles, or squeaks, this alarms the buyer that a lot of repairs will be needed. It is essential to remove them. One simple approach is tightening your stairs, steps, and banister. It is of the utmost importance that you repair and remove any water leaks or any signs of water damage. A few ways to correct these problems are painting over the water stains or replacing any damaged wallpaper. If it seems like a necessary step, replace all the caulking in your home. Check every door and window to see how smoothly the hinges operate. Check every light switch, doorknob, and cabinet hinge to find and repair the loose nuts, screws, or bolts. If you happen to find any loose molding, tack it down. Following these simple steps and tackling one problem at a time will significantly increase your chances of selling your house at the price you choose.

Before a buyer considers your home serio 00004000 usly, it must meet his needs in a variety of ways. It must be a suitable commuting distance, neighborhood, design style, floor plan, size, number of bedrooms, etc. If all or most of these needs are met, the buyer will begin to move in the direction of making a purchase decision. The purchase decision is a both an emotional and intellectual response, founded on a level of trust in your home. So, it is logical that in marketing your home your goal should be to enable the buyer to build trust in your home as quickly as possible. One way to do this is to address both surface and hidden repair issues before putting your home on the market. A few small clues, such as torn carpet or leaky faucet, will create a feeling that your house is not well cared for. Once the buyer has spotted a few defects, he will be on the lookout for more. If the finishes in your home are in good condition, buyers will assume that the mechanical and structural systems are well maintained also.

Make a Complete List

Remember that potential buyers and their real estate agents do not have the warm personal memories and familiarity that you have with your home. They will view it with a critical and discerning eye. Anticipate their concerns before they ever see your home. You may look at the leaky faucet and think of a $10 part at Home Depot. The buyer thinks of a $100 plumbing bill. Begin by walking through each room and considering how buyers are going to feel about what they see. Make a complete list of needed repairs. Hire a handyman, if you need one, to fix the items in a few days. It will be more efficient to have them all done at once. Some clients choose to market their houses as a fixer-uppers. Of course, there are handy buyers out there who are not afraid of repairs, but they expect to profit from this, substantially above the cost of labor and materials. When a house needs obvious repairs, buyers always assume there are more problems than meet the eye. It is in your best interest to get minor repairs fixed before marketing your home. Your house will bring a higher price and sell faster.

Get an Inspection

Often sellers have their home inspected by a professional inspector before putting it on the market. This is an excellent way to discover unknown repair issues that may come up later on the buyer's inspection report. By getting this done early, you will be able to address the items on your own time, without the involvement of a prospective buyer. There will almost certainly be some items that you choose to not repair. For example, building code requirements change over the years. As a result, you may not meet code for certain items, such as handrail height, spacing between balusters, stair dimensions, single glazed windows, and other items. You may elect to leave items such as these as they are, and that is OK. You should note on the inspection report which items you have repaired, and which are being left as is, and attach it to your Seller's Disclosure. It is a good idea to also attach repair receipts to the report if you have used a contractor for some of the items. A professional inspection report answers buyers questions early, creates a higher level of trust in your home and reduces re-negotiations after contract.
Offer a Service Contract

The home service contract (also called home warranty) covers the cost of certain repairs to mechanical, plumbing and electrical systems and appliances during the buyer's first year of ownership. The cost of the policy is about $350, but may be more if a pool or other items are added. The fee is paid to a third party warranty company, who provides repair services for the buyers during their first year of ownership. These policies help to reduce the number of disputes about the condition of the property after the sale. They protect the interests of both buyer and seller.

Should You Remodel?

Often clients ask us if they should remodel their house for sale. I believe the answer to this is no - major improvements do not make sense when selling a home. Studies show that remodeling projects do not return 100% of their cost in the sales price. For the average home, it does not pay to move walls, tear out cabinets, re-do kitchens and bathrooms, or add rooms, in order to sell. There is a fine line between remodeling and making repairs. You will need to draw this line. Here are some decisions you may need to consider:

Countertops are outdated or wrong color: It may be worth it to replace the countertops if other components of the house are acceptable. An attractive countertop can transform the kitchen, and the kitchen has a significant impact on the value of your home.

Carpet is worn, outdated or wrong color: This improvement is almost always worth doing. Sometimes sellers ask us if they should give an allowance for carpet, and let the buyer choose. Do not worry about whether the buyer will like your selection. Just choose a neutral shade, and make the change. New carpet makes everything else look better.

Walls need complete or touch up paint: This is a must do! Clean walls are crucial to a winning presentation of your home. This includes baseboards and trim. On the walls you should use neutral colors, such as cream, sage green, beige/yellow, gray/blue. Stark white, primary colors and dark colors do not contribute as much market value, and may be a negative factor.

Texture on walls is poorly done, or there is heavy "popcorn" texture on the ceiling: A clean, simple texture under paint can improve the presentation of your home. On the other hand, if there is much updating needed in other areas, it does not make sense to target this item.

Wallpaper is outdated or torn: This may need to be removed and the walls painted. However, if the home needs a good deal of additional updating, then wallpaper should be left as is.

Bathroom caulking or grout is dirty: Put this on the must do list. Old or darkened caulking is a turn-off to buyers. It is easily replaced.

There are drainage problems, or leaks in the plumbing or roof: This is a must fix! Be careful that you correct the source of the problem, use professional help to check for mold, and fully disclose the repair. Make sure your contractor gives a warranty that can be passed on to the buyer, but avoid giving a personal guarantee of the repair.

There are sheetrock holes, missing trim, torn vinyl, broken windows, rotten wood or malfunctioning equipment: These are all repair issues that should be addressed. Homes sell for more that show a reasonable level of maintenance.

Shrubs are overgrown and flower beds are bare or weedy: This is one of the most cost effective changes you can make. Mow and edge the lawn. Add inexpensive mulch to flower beds. Add a new doormat and pots of blooming plants to the porch. Cut back overgrown shrubs or remove them altogether. Large, woody shrubs can be a detraction to your home, especially if they cover windows.

Gutters need cleaning and trees rub against the roof: These are items that comes up frequently on buyers' inspection reports. Make sure your tree limbs do not touch the roof.

Heat/AC, Plumbing and Electrical systems: All of these systems need routine maintenance. It would be a good idea to have the heat/AC system serviced and filters changed. Check for plumbing leaks, toilets that rock, corroded valves on the hot water heater and other plumbing problems. Replace burned out bulbs and electrical fixtures that do not work. Check your sprinkler system and pool equipment for little problems.

Make Needed Repairs

As you prepare your home for sale, your first step should be to make needed repairs. By making repairs you will answer buyers questions early, build trust in your home more quickly, and proceed through the closing process with fewer surprises. Your home will appeal to more buyers, sell faster and bring a higher price

Finding and buying tax sale properties in Travis County, Texas is simple. The Travis County tax assessor's office lists all the properties that will be auctioned 21 days prior to the safe. This listing can be found in the Austin Chronicle. During this time period, you can take a look at the house or lot and decide whether or not it would be a good fit. Although the tax office provides detailed information about the listing, including appraised value, it would be in your best interest to research the surrounding properties as well. There are usually several properties auctioned each month, so you want to make sure you choose the very best property in which to invest. In order to purchase property at the sale, you will need to complete and submit a statement of eligibility form. This form must be submitted to the tax office roughly two weeks before the auction.

Properties up for auction have a pre-approved minimum bid. This minimum bid is usually a fraction of the appraised value of the property. If no buyer is willing to purchase a property for the minimum bid price, it will not be sold at the auction. When properties are not sold at the auction, they are marked as struck-off. These properties may be available for immediate sale. A listing of struck-off properties is available on the Travis County tax office's website.

All properties are auctioned on the west steps of the country courthouse the first Tuesday of each month. The county courthouse is located at 1000 Guadalupe St., Austin, Texas. The Travis County tax office accepts the following forms of payment: cash, check, cashier's check, money order, and most credit cards. If you do plan on using your credit card, you should know that the tax office will charge you an additional service fee of 3%. Most mortgage programs, such as FHA, do not offer mortgages on foreclosed property. You will need to secure a private loan or pay for the foreclosed property outright.

Hector Milla who is Editor of the "Free Home Foreclosure Listings" website -- http://www.FreeHomeForeclosureListings.net -- pointed out;

aa This is because no description no matter how well written will deliver the same benefit of a properly composed and clear picture. That is why when you are researching foreclosure listings, it is important to look at those listings with photos for optimum research. Thankfully, there are a number of excellent research sites that clearly do present such excellent picturesaa

Why is it that these pictures are so important? There are a number of reasons why they are so necessary. One reason centers on the fact that a photograph tells you more about the property than any written description ever could. A photograph of the property will tell you exactly what its condition is and the dimensions the property embodies.

You can take it for granted, you will not receive the same impact from the photos that you would if you saw the property in person. This is something we all understand. However, in the absence of being able to explore the property in person, the provided photographs provide the second best benefit.

H. Milla also added aa Looking at the photographs in the foreclosure ads can also save you are great deal of time. Namely, if the property is very visually unappealing to you, you can dismiss the property out of hand. You will not need to waste time physically visiting the property. You will know the property is not right for you. Conversely, if you are very interested in the property, you can rush to see it in person and, possibly, make an offer on the property before someone else can buy itaa

First, you'll find that you have a lot more bargaining power when purchasing from a home owner directly. Usually these home owners don't have any experience negotiating a price on a home. Often they will give you a great deal because they are so eager to get the home off their hands. This means that you may get a lower price than you would if a realtor was working with the seller. Most properties that are for sale by owner end up getting offers that are at least 10% lower than the price that they were offering.

Another of the reasons to purchase a home right from the owner is because you have a lot of flexibility when bargaining. You can get really creative with the offer that you have when you're not working with a real estate agent. You may be able to barter, to consider home swapping, and more.

You'll also find that the home owner is able to provide you with a lot more information on the area than most real estate agents can. Since they have actually been living on the property, they have a lot of knowledge about the community and the home. They can provide you with great information on any repairs needed and on the benefits that the home has to offer. They'll be able to let you know about the neighbors, the community, the schools, and more.

When purchasing a home for sale by owner, you'll find that the law requires sellers to disclose any information on the property that is important. Buyers can rest assured that any information on the property that can affect their decision has to be disclosed by law. If this information is not included, the sale doesn't have to go through and the seller can be sued. Some of the things sellers must disclose include repairs, pollution, zoning, and more.

As you can see, there are many reasons to purchase a home that is for sale by owner. Of course, there are a few disadvantages to consider as well. First, you can lose the expertise that a realtor could offer you. Another disadvantage is that you have to remember the costs of professionals, such as a home appraiser. In some cases, sellers can be tough to negotiate with as well, which can make it difficult to get the deal you want on the home. To make the right decision, consider the pros and cons of going with a home for sale by owner and decide if this is the right option for you.

Most people think about visiting their local car dealer for advice but there are several ways to find YOUR car.

Many dealerships that have new cars also have a selection of used cars from which you can choose. Although you have to be carefull these are great, and for the most part are in good shape.
But you mustn´t see this as your only option.

Several Options

The selection they can offer might be limited, and you shouldn’t settle for something you really don’t want because they don’t have anything else.

Don’t forget that there are many cars for sale by owner out there that may just be exactly what you need.

And chances are you may save some good money this way.

Car Listings in Your Local Paper

You can find listings for cars for sale by owner in your local paper.

These classified ads may also be listed online, as most newspapers now have an online version of their paper, and they almost always include their classified listings.

These classifieds are the best way to find cars that you may want that are very close to were you live.

Take the time to read over the ads for cars for sale by owner very carefully, and then call the ones you find interesting.

Surf the Internet

You can also find cars for sale by owner by surfing the Internet.

There are more listings than just the classifieds included with your local paper or on their website.

My dad found his truck this way, but he did have to drive a few hours to get it. Because he got a great deal it was worth it though, and he has had very little trouble with his vehicle.

Be aware there is one draw back of buying cars for sale by owner.

Many times, they do not come with a warranty, and you don’t know the history of the car or how well the engine is running.

There may be hidden rust you cannot see, or perhaps someone may find that the transmission is about to give out. If you still want to by the car, you have a bargaining chip to get a lower price if you find something is wrong.

This is why you should always get a report on the history of the car, and always have a mechanic look it over for you before you buy.

Cars for sale by owner are only a good deal if you know what you are getting.
