Paradise

In religion, paradise is a place of exceptional happiness and delight. Paradisiacal notions are often laden with pastoral imagery, and may be cosmogonical or eschatological or both, often compared to the miseries of human civilization: in paradise there is only peace, prosperity, and happiness. Paradise is a place of contentment, a land of luxury and fulfillment.

Alcohol . Meaning . Paradise . Surat Muhammad

In Surah Muhammad (47:15), does "خَمۡرٍ" refer to the same intoxicating alcohol that is prohibited in this life? If it does, how can something harmful and forbidden be allowed in Jannah? If not, what is its specific meaning in this context?

The word Khamr خمر in Quran does not mean the intoxicant alcohol which is known and prohibited in this life. Khamr of this life is filth and Najis which causes dangerous effects, while Khamr of Paradise completely different as it will be لَذّةٍ للشاربين delicious for the drinkers. It us a completely different drink which does not have any thing similar to the intoxicating alcohol.

Hadith . Paradise . Woman . Hijab

Are there any narrations that mention the rewards in paradise for women who wear Hijab?

Women wearing full Hijab will be in the Paradise because they have obeyed Allah, the Prophet (SAWA) and Ahlul Bayt (AS). We have many Hadeeths about the sever punishment of women who expose their hair or body and don't observe Hijab especially in Hadeeth al-Mi'raaj in which the Prophet (SAWA) was shown the punishment of women who were not wearing Hijab and how they were been hanged in the Hellfire.

Paradise . Woman . Spinster

Is it allowed for a woman to remain unmarried in paradise if she does not like the opposite gender?

Paradise will provide fulfilling of every wish of the believers as we read in Quran (Sura 43, verse 71). Man and woman who will in Paradise will get all their wishes fulfilled. The point here is what you wish and think now is not necessarily same what you will think and wish in Paradise because our knowledge here in this world is limited, while our knowledge in Paradise will be much more. When we leave this world, our knowledge will increase and we will see many facts which we did not see in our worldly life. We read in Quran that the person after this world will be told (You were unaware about this fact then we removed away your veil and your sight now is ironic (Sura 50, verse 22).

What we think now is not necessarily the same what we will think in Paradise. After all, Allah (SWT) Has promised to Grant people of Paradise all their wishes.

Woman . Paradise . Life . Husband . Mut'a (Temporary marriage)

Would Mut'ah marriages be allowed in paradise? Would a woman who had multiple Mut'ah marriages be limited to having only one husband in paradise?

There are two opinions among the scholars in this matter. One opinion says: Yes, Mut’ah marriages will be allowed in Paradise because of the Quranic verse about Paradise: And It will have everything which is desired by anyone). (Sura 43, verse 71).

This opinion also says that woman who wants more than one husband will be allowed to have in Paradise more than one husband.

The other opinion says that the desires in Paradise will be different from the desires in this worldly life as the believers in Paradise will see the Truth which did not see in worldly life. All the desires in Paradise will be pure and noble, so no one in Paradise will desire something which is not noble. No believing woman in Paradise will desire more than one husband.

These are the two opinions and we leave the real answer to Allah (SWT) as we have not yet seen the Paradise and we pray to Allah (SWT) to Grant us the Paradise, then we will know the reality which we don't know in this world.

Paradise . Husband . Jealousy . Desire

Can I pray to Allah to remain in Al-A'raf rather than entering paradise, since I am uncomfortable with the thought of my husband receiving fifty thousand hoor, even without any jealousy? I have no desire for any blessings of paradise.

No. Your question seems to reflect very limited side of Paradise and ignore very important facts about Paradise. Paradise does not have materialistic desires only, but more importantly has spiritual happiness and Ridgwan Minallah Akbar ( Pleasure from Allah which is Greater). Paradise is the place of the Prophets and Infallible Imams and people of Pardise enjoy the neighborhood of the Prophets

and the Infallible Imams and have the pleasure of seeing them.

I advise you to read more about Paradise and don't restrict it to what lay people say.

Isha . Food . Believers . Sahaba (Companions) . God (Allah) . Paradise

Did the companions of Isa (AS), to whom Allah sent down food from paradise, die as believers?

We have in some books that some of the companions of Easa (AS) were not grateful to the bounty of Allah Who Sent to them a table of food from the sky for them. Sura Al-Ma'idah, verse 115 mentioned: Allah Said: I am going to send it down unto you, but if any one of you after that disbelieves, then I will punish him with a torment which I have not inflicted on anyone among all the mankind).

Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullah
No one actually knows about this except Allah swt.
What matters is that you remember your deceased ones by reciting Quran for them and praying for their souls and to give charity and gift the reward to them because now they have no access to good deeds except someone does for them.
It actually does remind us how empty handed we ourselves will be in the next abode and motivates us to gain more for our next life.
