Islamic marriage advice and family advice

Will I be re-united with my ex-husband and child in Paradise?

 Red button with divorce written on top.

Assalam O Alaikum,

I just want to ask a question that if a divorced woman loves her ex-husband so much and never wanted divorce but her husband gave her divorce due to not being able to produce child, or due to domestic tentions etc.  If this woman never remarries in her whole life till death with any other person and wants her ex-husband with her in hereafter, then too whom she will be with in hereafter?

Second question is if a woman gets abortion in 3rd month and after two days of her abortion she is divorced and wants her baby in janat (paradise) then will she get that child in janat?

Please provide me answers of these two questions separately in detail islamically?

irumhayat.

  1. Salaams,

    I found the following hadeeth pertaining to your questions as you have requested:

    The Prophet said, “There will be no unmarried person in Paradise.”[Muslim]

    Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen said, “If a woman died before marrying in this world, Allaah The Almighty will provide her with a husband who will delight her heart. Bliss in Paradise is equally for men and women, and it certainly includes marriage.”

    The former condition also applies to the woman who died after divorce.

    regarding your child, I've heard this hadith not only applies when it's three children, but even if it's only one (and Allah knows best):

    "There are no two Muslim parents whose three children die before reaching puberty except that Allah will enter them into Paradise due to His mercy to the children. It will be said to them, "Enter the Paradise", so they will say, "Not until our parents enter first". It will be said, "Enter the Paradise you and your parents." (Ahmad, an-Nasaa'i, and Al-Albani authenticated it in Saheeh al-Jaami' (5780).)

    However the pertinent issue is whether the abortion you had in the third month was viable enough by Islamic standards to be considered a being. Some scholars say that a child is not considered a being until they receive their ruh, which can happen around the 120th day after conception (this would amount to the 19th week of pregnancy) . If this is the case (which of course would be impossible for any of us to determine), then you having an abortion during the 3rd month would mean the embryo would not necessarily have a soul yet.

    Suffice it to say that whoever of us makes it to jannah Insha'Allah will be pleased with whatever joys we are given there.

    Please give comfort to my heart

  3. Asalamualaikum,

    Isn't this story is similar to sister "leelu"? Sorry if I am not mistaking. Saying because this answer already is given. Or maybe I wrong.

    Walaikumasalam

  4. Hi! No, I am not the same person. The difference between my question and the above question is that the above is referring to an ex husband...I on the other hand am asking about a guy who i am not married to but love dearly...can I be united with my guy in Paradise...? He is the love of my life. We were engaged but due to circumstances we cannot be married. Can we still be united in Paradise?

    If you can respond, I would be forever grateful!!

  5. @just17 sorry sister you are mistaking, I wasn't talking about you.

  6. Asalam-0-alaikum sister I am leelu. I am still unmarried and waiting for the circumstances to become in my favour at some time. may be the time will come and I will be with mu ex husband. yes I believe that if ur love is true for ur lover, u will obviously be joined with ur lover. my exhusband was bot my love before my marriage. but after my arranged marriage I started loving him so much that what ever I asked him in anger actually portraited my love but he was unable to understand me. I got medical miscarriage at 3rd month, but he was still so harsh with me that I cannot let u know. but I always tried to make him happy. his greed was offspring and I was suffering from PCOS disease. I was unable to give him child and he divorced me saying that I cannot be on with u more. he sentenced thrice with divorce. still I say no divorce has happened to me. my love remained incomplete forever.... I am still unable to make me prepared for another marriage. my cousin's father proposed me but my that cousin died in accident. do u know I am in fasting right now, and a muslim in fasting never try to tell lies.
    kindly u pray for me to be joined with my ex-husband and I pray for u to be joined with ur lover. inshAllah we will get our partners in AAkhrat. But we should have to make our love true till the end of our life.

    • Dearest Asghar,
      Insha'Allah you will be with someone in Paradise who loves you and respects you. It doesn't sound like your ex was/is that person. You deserve so much better than him. Insha'Allah you will be given a prince, in this life but most certainly in the hereafter. And don't worry -- PCOS is very treatable and you can still have children Insha'Allah, if you are not yet in your 40's.

  7. saying Talaq at three times at once can not count three. this is my belief as our Holy Quran does not refer to this sort of Talaq so I am waiting for the law to be changed at some time or may be some other person's love which will be much more than my ex husband. but I donot think so that I shall be able to move to some other person.

    • Assalamualaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh

      SubhanAllah, I wish I could find a Muslimah for marriage who was as loving like this. It is part of the Sunnah to marry loving women. Very sad your husband divorced you. Polygamy was an option for him wasn't it?

      May Allah re-unite you both.
