Question:

Will the physical attributes and morals of men in Paradise will be like those of Aadam, and the attributes of women like those of Hawwaa’ but not the exact outer appearance? Please, could you explain this issue for me.

Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His Slave and Messenger.

 

The status of the people of Paradise is part of the unseen matters that could not be known except by revelation.

What we should really do is to pay more attention to doing more righteous deeds so that we could enter Paradise and see the blessings therein and know the conditions of its people.

It was proved in the Hadeeths of the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, that the physical attributes of the people in Paradise will be like those of their father Aadam . It was narrated in a Hadeeth: “All who will enter Paradise will be in the form of Aadam.” [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

Al-‘Ayni, in his explanation of Saheeh Al-Bukhari, said, “They will be in the form of Aadam in terms of beauty and height.”

Actually, we have not found more details regarding the physical attributes of women and men in references.

As for their morals, they will have the best morals. It was narrated in a Hadeeth: “Their morals will be alike as one single person (they have no hatred or disagreement).”   [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

Imaam An-Nawawi, in his explanation of Saheeh Muslim, said, “This Hadeeth was narrated in the two Saheeh books. Some of the narrators reported it in a way referring to their morals, some others narrated it in a way referring to their forms. In fact, Both of them are correct.”

Allaah Knows best.
