Always wondered bout that myself. Wondered what answer a Muslim might five. Here's one:
Q. . . . I had this question in my mind long ago, and he really aggravated the thing. I don't understand why Islam promises houris to Men in Jannat and not any Male models to women. . . .
A. . . . What we know of jannah is only from Quran and Hadith, but Allah tells us "I have prepared for My righteous servants what no eye has ever seen nor ear heard nor any human being ever conceived of." (Hadith Qudsi-Bukhari &Muslim) and "No soul knows what delights of the eye are kept hidden from them of joy, as a reward for what they did." So how can anyone truly know what jannah is like until they've been there? And we know of course that both men and women will be rewarded for their deeds. Since as we know that everyone's desires will be fulfilled in jannah I don't see what the big deal is about? If women want male model companions then why wouldn't they get that? So what if houris are mentioned as a reward for martyrs in jannah? Do you ever wonder why Allah mentions that? Perhaps because those in combat in Islam are men and perhaps Allah mentions this to motivate them towards their reward. Allahu alam. But since Allah is our Creator I think He would know what motivates men. . . .
