Allah subhanah has created many heavens, but what if I have done more good deeps in my life then my husband, or my husband has done more good deeds in his life then I have, will we still be together in the after life?

that we go to one of the heavens. Allah subhanah has created many heavens, but
what if I have done more good deeps in my life then my husband, or my husband
has done more good deeds in his life then I have, will we still be together in
the after life?
Thank
you!

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask
for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever
He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that
there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that
Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 17 Surah
Israa verse 21:
21 See how We have bestowed (in the life of this world) more on some
than on others; but verily the Hereafter is more in rank and gradation,
and more in excellence.
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 5.318 Narrated by Anas
Haritha was martyred on the day (of the
battle) of Badr, and he was a young boy then. His mother came to the Prophet
(saws) and said, "O Allah's Messenger (saws)! You know how dear Haritha is
to me. If he is in

Glorious Quran, it is evident that there are many ranks and gradations of

Allah says in the Holy Quran Chapter 36 Surah Ya
Seen verses 55-58:
Verily the People of the Gardens shall that Day enjoy
in everything that they do; they
and their wives will be in groves of (cool) shade, reclining on Thrones (of dignity). They shall have all kinds of tasteful fruits,
and they shall have there, whatever they
may desire. They will have been greeted
with ‘Peace’, a Word (of salutation) from a Lord, Most Merciful.
Allah Say sin the Holy Quran Chapter 40 Surah
Ghafir verses 7-9:
7 Those (Angels) who sustain the Throne (of Allah) and those around it
sing Glory and Praise to their Lord; believe in Him; and implore forgiveness
for those who believe: "O Our Lord! Thy reach is over all things in Mercy
and Knowledge. Forgive then those who
turn in repentance and follow Thy Path: and preserve them from the Penalty of
the Blazing Fire!
8 "And grant O our Lord! That they enter the Gardens of Eternity
which Thou hast promised to them and to the righteous among their fathers,
their wives, and their posterity! For Thou art (He) the Exalted in
Might Full of Wisdom.
Without an iota of a doubt, the married couple amongst the
believers who lived their lives on this earth in the obedience and awe of Allah
Subhanah and both were fortunate enough to enter Paradise, the Lord Most High,
Most Merciful will re-unite the pious couple in

Sajdah verse 17:
No living being knows what comfort of the eyes has
been kept hidden from them, as a recompense for their (righteous) deeds!
Sahih Al-Bukhari
Hadith 6.302 Narrated by Abu
Huraira
Allah's Messenger
(saws) said, "Allah said, 'I have prepared for my pious worshipers such
things as no eye has ever seen, no ear has ever heard of, and nobody has ever
thought of.' "
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 5 Surah
Maidah verse 119:
Allah will say:
"This is a Day on which the Truthful will profit from their Truth: theirs
are Gardens with rivers flowing beneath their eternal home: Allah
well-pleased with them and they with Allah: that is the Great
Salvation!
Allah Says in the Holy Quran Chapter 98 Surah
Al-Bayyinah verse 8:
Their reward is with
Allah: Gardens of Eternity Beneath which rivers flow; They will dwell therein
for ever; Allah well pleased with them and they with Him: all this for such as fear their Lord and
Cherisher.
Thus in conclusion, provided both the husband and the wife
are fortunate enough to enter Paradise, the Lord Most Gracious, Most Bounteous
will upgrade the spouse of the lower level to the spouse of the higher level,
and both will be united by their Lord again in the Hereafter to live in peace
and luxury for ever and ever.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to
Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only
Source of Strength.
