physically and spiritually. Hafiz ibn Hajar has further fixed three conditions for
using weak ahadith. One is that the hadith must not be
very weak, i.e. at least one chain of narrators of this
hadith must be free from a narrator who is a liar, is
accused of lying, or is known for making great mistakes.
The second condition is that it should fit under a general
principle, which is established and acted upon. Finally,
the third condition is that the person acting upon this
hadith should not believe it to be established, but he
should exercise caution in this regard2•
Only those weak ahadith have been included in this
book, which meet these conditions. The classification of
the ahadith by the eminent scholars of hadith has been
included with the hadith in Arabic.

bounties of Jannat when he knows that the owner of
these bounties is pleased with him and will never
become angry with him. His enjoyment of these bounties
will increase when he knows that it is iplpossible for him
to lose them.

What will a woman of this world receive in Jannat?
Mufti Mahmud was asked that if men will receive
hurs, what will women receive? He replied that the
wives of the believers will stay with their own husbands.
Women who never married in this world will be given a
choice to get married with any (unmarried) man they

72 THL MAIDENS OF JANNA'!'
If just the scarf on the head of one woman of Jannat is

better than the world and all it contains, then how
valuable is the woman herself? It becomes easier to
sacrifice the desires in view of these great rewards of the
Hereafter. Besides the promise of these eternal rewards
of the Hereafter, there is little that can control the
desires of man, especially the desires of the youth.
In this book, some of the rewards of the Hereafter,
especially those relating to the gorgeous, celestial, wide-
eyed beauties - the hurs - of Jannat, have been set out in
a clear and concise manner. By reading and pondering
about the bounties of Jannat and its beautiful virgins, the
youth will feel a renewed vigour to fight the carnal
desires and strive for the pleasure of Allah ~ by doing
righteous deeds. Furthermore, the beauty of the women
of this world will appear pale and insignificant before
the beauty of those stunning damsels of fannal.
There is not much authentic literature on this specific
topic, and hence this book fulfills this requirement in a
captivating way. I would recommend every youngster to
acquire a copy of this book, to read it, and ponder over
its contents.
