Ok I’d like to answer some points if my sisters Radiyah and Muslimah don’t mind, and please correct me if am wrong:
Quote:what are the rewards for women who fight in the cause of Allah? Will they be blessed with virgins (men) too?
First of all the word virgin do not exist in the Qur’an or the Hadiths of Prophet Muhammad pbuh; am aware that there is only one Hadith that mentioned the number 72 referring to AZWAJ and not virgins. The word AZWAJ means spouses, companions which applicable for men and women.
Quote:For the record... I'm not a feminist... & I don't believe sexual experiences occur in Paradise.
Excuse me?
Did Adam and Eve have sex during the days before they got kicked out of Heaven? If not, <b>then why not? </b> Wasn't she created to be <b>his mate</b>? Did they not then have physical contact with each others for the, perhaps, long years that they lived with each others in Heaven before getting kicked out of it?
Genesis 3:17
To Adam he said, "Because you listened to <b>your wife </b> and ate from the tree about which I commanded you, 'You must not eat of it,' "Cursed is the ground because of you; through painful toil you will eat of it all the days of your life.
Genesis 3:20
Adam named his wife Eve, because she would become the <b>mother of all the living.</b>
These verses called Eve a "wife" and a "mother". Now assuming that Adam and Eve never got kicked out of Heaven, then how would exactly Eve become a "mother", who already was a "wife" in Heaven?
Also, the fact that Eve was Adam's "wife" in Heaven and was meant to be eventually the "mother of all the living", then there is no doubt that Adam and Eve did have sex in Heaven! Otherwise, how exactly was Eve a "wife" to Adam? What do husbands and wives do?
Now, if I follow your beliefs that we will be like "spirits" or "Angels" in Heaven without physical bodies, that once a "Christian" dies, then he will go and live with GOD Almighty as a spirit in Heaven: as recorded in Mathew,
Matthew 22:29-30
29. Jesus replied, "You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God.
30. At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.
Obviously this contradicts the very teachings of your own Bible about Adam and Eve having physical bodies in Heaven and that they had sex (they were a husband and wife).
IF WE WILL NOT MARRY IN HEAVEN THEN WHY EVE CALLED A WIFE IN HEAVEN?
Anyway, another question, if Heaven has no physical bodies in it, then where did Adam's rib come from which GOD Almighty used for creating Eve? And what form were Adam and his "wife" Eve in?
Salam
Wael.
