:salam2:
Surah 38:51
They will be comfortably seated; they will call for abundant fruit and drink ; they will have well-matched [wives] with modest gaze."
Part of that surah mentions wives ...Why wives? Is it mentioning to like all believers or only to the Prophets that were mentioned before that verse? If so then why wives ?
And can you tell me whats the deal with the 72 virgins thing?
another question
If you were married to a woman you love and then later in the afterlife will you still be with her and have more wives ?
:salam2: brother
Allah swt said in Quran:
<<(49. And verily, for those who have Taqwa is a good final return. ) (50. `Adn Paradise, whose doors will be opened for them.) (51. Therein they will recline; therein they will call for fruits in abundance and drinks

(52. And beside them will be Qasirat-at-Tarf, (and) of equal ages.) (53. This it is what you are promised for the Day of Reckoning!) (54. (It will be said to them)! Verily, this is Our provision which will never finish.)>>
The tafseer of the verses
Allah tells us that His blessed, believing servants will have a good final return in the Hereafter, which means their ultimate destination. Then He explains it further, as He says:
[جَنَّـتِ عَدْنٍ]
(`Adn Gardens) meaning, eternal gardens (of Paradise),
[مُّفَتَّحَةً لَّهُمُ الاٌّبْوَابُ]
(whose doors will be opened for them.) means, when they come to them (these gardens), their gates will open for them.
[مُّتَّكِئِينَ فِيهَا]
(Therein they will recline

It was said that this means that they will sit cross-legged on chairs beneath canopies.
[يَدْعُونَ فِيهَا بِفَـكِهَةٍ كَثِيرَةٍ]
(therein they will call for fruits in abundance) means, whatever they ask for, they will find it, and it will be prepared just as they wanted it.
[وَشَرَابٌ]
(and drinks

means, whatever kind of drink they want, the servants will bring it to them,
[بِأَكْوَابٍ وَأَبَارِيقَ وَكَأْسٍ مِّن مَّعِينٍ ]
(With cups, and jugs, and a glass of flowing wine.) (56: 18).
[وَعِندَهُمْ قَـصِرَتُ الطَّرْفِ]
(And beside them will be Qasirat-at-Tarf (chaste females)) means, they restrain their glances from anyone except their husbands, and do not turn to anyone else.
[أَتْرَابٌ]
((and) of equal ages.) means, they will all be of the same age. This is the understanding of Ibn `Abbas, may Allah be pleased with him, Mujahid, Sa`id bin Jubayr, Muhammad bin Ka`b and As-Suddi.
[هَـذَا مَا تُوعَدُونَ لِيَوْمِ الْحِسَابِ ]
(This it is what you are promised for the Day of Reckoning!) means, `this that We have mentioned of the features of Paradise is what He has prepared for His pious servants who will reach it after they have been resurrected from their graves and been saved from the Fire.' Then Allah tells us that Paradise will never come to an end or disappear or cease to be. He says:
[إِنَّ هَـذَا لَرِزْقُنَا مَا لَهُ مِن نَّفَادٍ ]
(Verily, this is Our provision which will never finish.) This is like the Ayat:
[مَا عِندَكُمْ يَنفَدُ وَمَا عِندَ اللَّهِ بَاقٍ]
(Whatever is with you, will be exhausted, and whatever is with Allah will remain) (16:96).
[عَطَآءً غَيْرَ مَجْذُوذٍ]
(a gift without an end.) (11:108)
[لَهُمْ أَجْرٌ غَيْرُ مَمْنُونٍ]
(for them is a reward that will never come to an end.) (84:25).
**...Why wives? Is it mentioning to like all believers or only to the Prophets that were mentioned before that verse? If so then why wive
s ?**
THis is the reward of the pious servants of Allah swt, May Allah swt make us among them.
**And can you tell me whats the deal with the 72 virgins thing?
another question
If you were married to a woman you love and then later in the afterlife will you still be with her and have more wives ?**
16:31 Gardens of Eternity which they will enter: beneath them flow (pleasant) rivers: they will have therein all that they wish: thus doth Allah reward the righteous,- Quran
25:16 "For them there will be therein all that they wish for: they will dwell (there) for aye: A promise to be prayed for from thy Lord." Quran
Brother if you read the above two verses you see that Allah swt is promising the the righteous ( whether male or female) that they will get all that they wish . I think this promise is very clear........ AlhamduliAllah the great issue is how to be among the the righteous.
and Allah knows better
