I recently read an Article via Muslim Matters, regarding a very Controversial-Issue, predicated upon Islāmophobic-Tahrīf/Distortion (done by Muslims & Non-Muslims alike ironically) of the Revelatory-Text above. This Revelatory-Text is one of Countless Revelatory-Texts, which detail whom and/or which Kinds/Types of Beings will dwell either within al-Jannah/Paradise or Jahannam/Hell. The Link to the Muslim Matters Article is below:

I’m honestly unsurprised that this is still a Controversial-Topic. But, I’m disturbingly surprised at just how Pathologically-Ignorant Muslims are concerning This-Issue. It’s almost like Certain-Muslims will literally use their Misunderstandings of a seemingly Gendercentric/Genderbiased-Subject to pontificate an Islāmophobic-Agenda, like the whole “Islāmic-Reformation” Agenda which has the Audacity to pontificate/promote that Certain Revelatory-Texts are “outdate” for the “Modern-World”. This is what happens,when People approach Issues via Egotism, as oppose to Objective-Knowledge. Taking just 1 Revelatory-Text to explain anything doesn’t always work, especially as per a Subject which can easily be weaponized by Islāmophobes whom already accuse al-Islām of being Pro-Misogyny.
Muhammad ibn Seereen reported that a group of people either boasted or discussed whether men will outnumber women in Paradise or the other way around. It was upon this that Abu Hurayrah said, “Did Abu Al-Qaasim (the Prophet, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) not say that the first group to enter Paradise would have their faces as bright as a full moon and the next group would have their faces as bright as the brightest star in the sky, that each of them would have two wives and the marrow of their shanks would glimmer beneath the flesh and there would be no bachelors in Paradise.” [Muslim]
This Revelatory-Text clarifies completely the Issue. It clearly indicates directly/overtly that Women will outnumber Men via the Paradise by at least twofold. However, instead of simply accepting that understanding many Revelatory-Texts is literally impossible via only looking through 1-Dimension/Lens: People don’t know Shit really think/feel that they know everything. And, honestly, this is something which we all struggle within internally/introspectively.
In spite of the Fact that the Muslim Matters Article was, I believe, well-intentioned & well-written: I’m still concerned&worried that there’s going to be Muslim&Non-Muslim-Islāmophobes who’ll continue to be Ego/Desire-Driven, and will continue to distort Revelatory-Texts such as the Subject at Hand, which they’ll still use as Fuel for their Islāmophobic-Fires.
