Praise be to Allah.
When a believer enters Paradise, if his wife was righteous then she will be his wife in Paradise too . Allah says (interpretation of the meaning): “And (Eden) Paradise (everlasting Gardens), which they shall enter and (also) those who acted righteously from among their fathers, and their wives, and their offspring. And angels shall enter unto them from every gate…” [Al-Ra`d 13:23]
Imam Ibn Jarir At-Tabari (may Allah have mercy on him) said in Jami` Al-Bayan `an Ta’wil Ayi Al-Quran (16/423):
“[In the phrase] those who acted righteously from among their fathers, and their wives, and their offspring, Allah, may He be Glorified, is saying that they will be admitted to Paradise those who He describes as those who (interpretations of the meanings) fulfil the Covenant of Allah, those who join that which Allah has commanded to be joined [i.e., upholding the ties of kinship] and fear their Lord, and who remain patient, seeking their Lord’s Countenance, [and] perform As-Salah – those who do the deeds mentioned in the three preceding ayat. Those who acted righteously from among their fathers, and their wives, and their offspring refers to their wives, their families and their offspring, and their `righteousness’ is their faith in Allah and their obedience to His commands and the commands of His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).”
They will be with their spouses, reclining in the shade of Paradise, filled with the deepest joy. Allah says (interpretation of the meanings):
“They and their wives will be in pleasant shade, reclining on thrones.” [Ya-Sin 36:56]
“Enter Paradise, you and your wives, in happiness.” [Az-Zukhruf 43:70]
Among the bountiful and abundant blessings that Allah bestows upon His creation is that if the believers’ offspring follow them in faith, they will be joined with their fathers in the same level of Paradise even if they themselves did not reach that level, so that their fathers may have the joy of seeing their offspring.
Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And those who believe and whose offspring follow them in Faith, - to them shall We join their offspring, and We shall not decrease the reward of their deeds in anything…” [At-Tur 52:21]
