Is heaven in Islam painful for women?

Now before you come for me and call me ignorant or an Islamaphobe , hear me out. My father is a Muslim even though he is not practicing and I am not a religious person at all. Of course, I don’t know about Islam %100. I grew up in Europe , in a Christian dominated area. So I have a questions for Muslims of GaG or anyone who is knowledagle about religion.


I recently finished a show on Netflix called “Black Crows”. It educated me a lot about ISIS and how it contradicts the basic beliefs of Islam. However, I kept on hearing the words “hoor al ayn and houri”. I had no idea what it was so I researched online and for some , I instantly felt sickened.

Description of hoor al ayn ; “Very fair females created by Allah as such not from the off-spring of Adam, with intense black irises of their eyes and intense white scleras" .

Other descriptions ; “ untouched / with hymen unbroken by sexual intercourse", "virgins", "voluptuous/full-breasted", "with large, "non-menstruating/urinating/defecating and childfree", round breasts which are not inclined to “transparent to the marrow of their bones", "eternally young", "hairless" , "pure", "beautiful", "white", "revirginating".

So they are basically companions/wives of men in paradise. Each men who enters heaven is “gifted” 2 houris and if he dies as a marytr he is then “gifted” 72. Of course, their wives in world will remain married with him forever too.

Oh what about wives you may ask? You are stuck with your husband and his “houris” forever! You restrained yourself from worldy desires, obeyed your husband , followed Allah only to be cheated on in paradise too.
How do you feel about this?
