    Why everywhere in the quran it’s written about beauty of woman, and not of man? Being a girl I also want a modest and lower gaze boy with fair color?? Is it that woman is made only for beauty and shyness? What about girls like me who don’t want to be shy??

    One thing that needs to be understood about Jannah is the fact that it belongs to unseen world which is yet to be created, and we have been given very limited knowledge about its content and its mechanism based on our limited view of this world, that is why it is known as ‘amoor-e-mutashabihaat‘. Therefore, the only certain things are principle statements given w.r.t Jannah and one of such statements is:

    إِنَّ الَّذِيْنَ قَالُوْا رَبُّنَا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَقَامُوْا تَتَنَزَّلُ عَلَيْهِمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ أَلَّا تَخَافُوْا وَلَا تَحْزَنُوْا وَأَبْشِرُوْا بِالْجَنَّةِ الَّتِیْ كُنْتُمْ تُوعَدُوْنَ. نَحْنُ أَوْلِيَاؤُكُمْ فِی الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَفِی الْآخِرَةِ وَلَكُمْ فِيْهَا مَا تَشْتَهِیْ أَنْفُسُكُمْ وَلَكُمْ فِيهَا مَا تَدَّعُونَ. نُزُلًا مِّنْ غَفُوْرٍ رَّحِيْمٍ.

    On the contrary, those who acknowledged: “God is our Lord,” then remained steadfast on it [disregarding all opposition,] angels will surely descend on them [for their assurance on the Day of Judgement before the verdict is passed] and say: “Now, neither show any fear nor sorrow and accept the glad tidings of the Paradise that you used to be promised. We remained your companions in the life of the world and are also your companions in the life of the Hereafter. [The paradise whose glad tidings We are giving you] has everything in it which your heart will desire and has everything that you demand – as a means of entertainment for you from Him, Who is very forgiving; ever-merciful. (Quran 41:30-32)

    (Excerpt from Quranic Exegesis: Javed Ahmed Ghamidi)

    (Translated by Dr. Shehzad Saleem)

    God who can create such Jannah, will surely take care of women’s liking and disliking as well. Given the boundaries of our knowledge, our job at this time is to prepare to be selected for God’s paradise. That’s what we should focus on. Once we get there, we can ask God for whatever we want.

    Such things are not openly described for women keeping in mind the general nature of women and linguistic norms of that time, where women usually prefer to not explicitly discuss such things. Secondly, it has been men throughout the history who have comitted transgressions against God and humanity in pursuit of beauty, wealth and power, therefore, they have been cautioned that all these attractions will be abundantly made available to men in Jannah if they restrain themselves within limits prescribed by Allah. By large, women are not known to commit such tranngressions based on these factors.
