One of our brothers/sisters has asked
this question:
My
question is regarding dua. Is it allowed to ask Allah(swt) to make my wife of
this world as my wife in the hereafter? Can we ask a dua like that?

Answer:
Supplication to make
worldly wife same in paradise
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 50 Surah Qaaf verse 35:
There they (the men and women of
Allah says in the Holy
Quran Chapter 32 Surah 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 4.467 Narrated by Abu
Huraira
Allah's Messenger
(saws) said, "Allah, The High and Exalted He is, said, 'I have prepared
for My pious slaves (men and women) things which have never been seen by an
eye, or heard by an ear, or imagined by a human being!'
There is absolutely no harm if one wishes to make a dua or
a supplication unto their Lord to make their wife of this world as their wife
in the Hereafter. There are several
authentic narrations from the Messenger of Allah (saws) which state that if a
husband and a wife of this world are both fortunate to reach the Realms of
Paradise, Allah Subhanah in His Grace and His Mercy will reunite them in the
Hereafter as husband and wife.
Thus although there is absolutely no harm if one wishes to
make a dua or a supplication to make their wife of this world as their wife in
the Hereafter, a better supplication to make would be beseech and implore one’s
Lord Most Merciful to bless one’s wife, have mercy on her, guide her, forgive
her her sins, and grant both his wife and himself Paradise.
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 (Allah) art the Exalted in
Might, Full of Wisdom.
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.
