We will take the next question.
I'm Jasmin from Melbourne, Australia.
I'm a medical student.
If the best bliss in Paradise is seeing
Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala and the more a
person sees Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala, the better
it is.
Do women have the same chance as men
of seeing Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala and do
women have the same chance or possibility of
reaching a certain level in Jannah the same
as men?
Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala says in the glorious
Quran in Surah Al-Qiyamah chapter number 75
On that day the faces will be brightened
when they see their Lord.
These two verses of Surah Al-Qiyamah Allah
subhanahu wa'ta'ala is talking about the reward
for the believers when their faces will be
brightened when they see their Lord Allah subhanahu
wa'ta'ala.
This will be a great reward for the
believers when they see the face of Allah
subhanahu wa'ta'ala.
And this will be a great blessing for
the believers and our beloved Prophet Muhammad peace
be upon him said it is mentioned in
the hadith that the believers they will see
the face of Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala every
Friday.
In another hadith it is mentioned that when
the believers are admitted into Paradise Allah subhanahu
wa'ta'ala will ask the believers that do
you require anything else?
So the believers they will say Oh Allah
subhanahu wa'ta'ala you have given us everything.
What else can we ask for?
And then Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala will unveil
his face.
Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala will remove the veil
that is between him and the believers and
the believers in Paradise they will see the
face of Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala and one
glimpse of seeing the face of Allah subhanahu
wa'ta'ala it will make the believers forget
about all their worries and sorrows and difficulties
and this will be the best ni'mah the
best blessing the best gift that the believers
will receive in Paradise and all the ahadith
of our beloved Prophet Muhammad peace be upon
him which talk about the believers seeing the
face of Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala it does
not restrict this only to the men but
anyone who believes whether the person be a
male or a female they will have the
opportunity anyone who believes and who truly believes
in Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala and is a
good righteous human being whether this person be
a male or female will have the opportunity
of seeing the face of Allah subhanahu wa'ta
'ala and it will be a great ni'mah
a great blessing for the believers we pray
to Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala that may we
be from among those who see the face
of Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala and as far
as Jannah is concerned anyone who does good
will be admitted into Paradise whether that person
be a male or female Allah subhanahu wa'ta
'ala says in the glorious Quran in Surah
Al-Imran chapter number 3 verse number 195
فَاسْتَجَابَ لَهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ أَنِّي لَا أُضِيعُ عَمَلَ عَامِلٍ
مِّنكُمْ مِّن ذَكَرٍ أَوْ أُنْثَ بَعْضُكُمْ مِّن بَعْضٍ
that their Lord responded to them that He
does not let the effort of any person
go in vain whether it be a male
or female Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala says in
the glorious Quran in Surah Al-Nisa chapter
number 4 verse number 124 وَمَنْ يَعْمَلْ مِنَ
الصَّالِحَاتِ مِنْ ذَكَرٍ وَأُنْثَ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَأُولَئِكَ يَدْخُلُونَ
الْجَنَّةِ وَلَا يُظْلَمُونَ النَّقِيرَ and whosoever does good
whether that person be a male or female
they shall enter Paradise and they will not
be dealt with injustice even if it be
the speck on a date seed Allah subhanahu
wa'ta'ala also says in the glorious Quran
in Surah Al-Nihal chapter number 16 verse
number 97 that whosoever does good whether it
be a male or female they will be
given a new life and they will be
rewarded according to the best of what they
used to do Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala says
in the glorious Quran Surah Al-Ghafir chapter
number 40 verse number 40 that anyone who
does good whether it be a male or
female they will enter Paradise and they will
be rewarded in it with bountiful reward so
from these words of the glorious Quran we
clearly understand that the believers they will be
admitted into the gardens of Paradise and they
will be blessed with numerous blessings in Paradise
so all those who do good deeds those
who believe and those who do good deeds
they will be admitted into the gardens of
Paradise irrespective whether this person is a male
or female and the criterion for judgment in
the sight of Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala it
is not based on the gender of a
human being Allah subhanahu wa'ta'ala says in
the glorious Quran in Surah Al-Hujurat chapter
number 49 verse number 13 يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ
إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ مِنْ ذَكَرٍ وَأُنثَى وَجَعَلْنَاكُمْ شُعُوبًا وَقَبَائِلًا
لِتَعَارَفُوا إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ يَتْقَوْكُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ
عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌ O mankind, we have created you
from a single pair of a male and
female and divided you into nations and tribes
so that you may recognize each other not
that you may despise each other and the
most honored among you in the sight of
Allah is the most righteous of you and
Allah is all-knowing, well-acquainted the criterion
for judgment in the sight of Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala it's not caste, it's not
color, it's not wealth, it's not gender but
it is righteousness, it is God consciousness, it
is taqwa, it is piety so just because
a person is a male or female Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala will not discriminate this
person the thing that makes an individual superior
to another human being to another individual, it
is taqwa, it is God consciousness, it is
piety it is doing more of good deeds,
it is doing more of righteous deeds so
anyone who does good, whether it be a
male or a female they will receive their
reward from Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala I
hope that answers your question
