Is it fair that in Jannah, if a Syeda and a non-Syeda woman have the same level of piety, the Syeda woman will receive a higher position because she receives double rewards for her good deeds?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

There is no discrimination whatsoever in Islam neither in this life nor in the hereafter. Every believer will get the reward of there good deeds equally. Obviously same good deed has different degrees of sincerity which will be reflected in the reward of it. There is no discrimination at all because of ethnic or family matters. Allah Sats in Quran ( Every one will be getting his own deeds). Sura 52, verse 21.

The narrations speak of the grave as a garden of paradise for the believers and that it is extended and expanded for them. It is the same material grave in which we bury the dead body?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

It is the same grave which the dead believer buried in. He feels and enjoys the paradise bounties even if his physical body turns to soil but he remains in his soul and spirit feels the happiness.

Would I be granted a husband in Jannah based on my own level of righteousness, rather than being the spouse of my current husband who is more pious and would likely be in a higher level of paradise?
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

When both husband and wife are in Paradise, Allah Grants both of them the best to make every one from them as the best for the other. Your husband will be granted with the best that will not even dream, and you will see him as the most wonderful man in the Paradise, same you will be granted the best that your husband will see you as the most wonderful woman in the Paradise.

Is the statement "I worshiped Allah not for paradise or fear of hell, but because He deserves all praise" considered authentic? Does it not contradict the teachings of the Quran that teaches fear of hell and incentivizes with desire of Jannah?<br>
Sayyed Mohammad Al-Musawi

Faith in Allah (SWT) has many degrees. Feeding of hell makes people avoid sinful acts. Keening for Paradise makes people do more good to gain Paradise. Higher degrees of faith of most humble servants of Allah, make them not only higher than fearing hellfire and keening Paradise but loving and worshiping Allah as He is entitled to be worshiped. Real love for Allah in the heart of His most humble servants  makes them worship Him for His Greatness as He is The Only entitled to be worshiped.

‘The Quranic verses you mentioned are for usual believers who have a certain degree of faith and love for Allah. Such degree does not apply to the most humble servants of Allah (SWT) who have the higher degrees of faith and love for Allah (SWT).
