lionskillprey: Bukhari:V1B22N28 "The Prophet said: 'I was shown the Hell Fire and the majority of its dwellers were women who are disbelievers or ungrateful.' When asked what they were ungrateful for, the Prophet answered, 'All the favors done for them by their husbands.'"
Sahih Bukhari, The book of Eclipses, Volume 2, Book 18, Number 161:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin Abbas:
The sun eclipsed in the life-time of the Prophet (p.b.u.h) . Allah's Apostle offered the eclipse prayer and stood for a long period equal to the period in which one could recite Surat-al-Baqara. Then he bowed for a long time and then stood up for a long period which was shorter than that of the first standing, then bowed again for a long time but for a shorter period than the first; then he prostrated twice and then stood up for a long period which was shorter than that of the first standing; then he bowed for a long time which was shorter than the previous one, and then he raised his head and stood up for a long period which was shorter than the first standing, then he bowed for a long time which was shorter than the first bowing, and then prostrated (twice) and finished the prayer. By then, the sun (eclipse) had cleared. The Prophet then said, "The sun and the moon are two of the signs of Allah. They eclipse neither because of the death of somebody nor because of his life (i.e. birth). So when you see them, remember Allah." The people say, "O Allah's Apostle! We saw you taking something from your place and then we saw you retreating." The Prophet replied, "I saw Paradise and stretched my hands towards a bunch (of its fruits) and had I taken it, you would have eaten from it as long as the world remains. I also saw the Hell-fire and I had never seen such a horrible sight. I saw that most of the inhabitants were women." The people asked, "O Allah's Apostle! Why is it so?" The Prophet replied, "Because of their ungratefulness." It was asked whether they are ungrateful to Allah. The Prophet said, "They are ungrateful to their companions of life (husbands) and ungrateful to good deeds
. If you are benevolent to one of them throughout the life and if she sees anything (undesirable) in you, she will say, 'I have never had any good from you.' "
That's why Islamic heaven is full of boys of perpetual freshness to serve and satisfy you
Muhammad was very specific about why many women will end up in hell. The reason is because many women don't appreciate their husbands!. How good is a woman who doesn't appreciate her husband, and doesn't care about him enough, that if he does something bad to her, then she'll remember it for him for the rest of her life? How good is a woman who doesn't remember much of the good that her husband does for her?
Empty_Everest: This is difficult to justify logically the verse... Has anyone asked by any chance why we refer to G-d as a male and not a female?
Judaism is based on Kabbalah, the Torah, Tanakh, Talmud, Zohar and other Holly Books are written in the "Language of the Root and Branches", what you are reading is not related to concepts but to attributes taken from Nature. At the moment of conception the sperm moves towards the ovum to fertilize it. This is represented as male and female. The Creator is not a male nor a female.
If we think about the concept of G-d in order for It to be G-d, It has to be complete, any necessity would make It to have a void, if there is a void there is no completeness. Only in the state of completeness the attribute of bestowal exist. We humanity are receivers if we were to scrutinize ALL of our actions we will discover that everything we do it's with the intention to serve the self, even in our "good deeds", we do it because it makes us feel good, our attribute is receiving.
Because the Creator is the Giver the attribute of bestowal we refer to Him as a male, the attribute of receiving corresponds to humanity for this reason humanity it's refer as a female, male = the attribute of bestowal, female = the attribute of receiver. This is an example of the language of the Root and Branches. We Kabbalist don't see the Scriptures as concepts but attributes and spiritual stages. So what you interpret literally... I discoverer something about my internal stages of reality.
