Muslim woman and paradise guria

• Imam al-Qurtubi al-Maliki (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

“The position of a Muslim woman in Paradise is better than that of the paradise houris: she is higher in degree and more in beauty !!
After all, a righteous woman (who properly adheres to the Religion) if she enters Paradise, then, of course, she will enter by the praise of Allah for righteous deeds (i.e. for obedience to the Almighty and diligence in this), as well as with mercy and generosity from Him for her religiosity and righteousness!

And as for the Paradise Hurias, which are part of the Paradise Delights, they were created for someone, made a reward for the Muslims for their righteous deeds.

And what a huge difference between the one who entered Paradise for righteous deeds and between the one who was created only to become the reward of the one who did righteous deeds !!!

The first is the mistress and mistress. The second, in spite of, of course, her great position and beauty, is still below the degree of a mistress, since she is subject to her master-believer, for whom she was created as a reward! ”
