Will the believing women get to see Allah in Jannah?

الجواب حامدا ومصليا ومسلما

There are many ahaadith which mention that the believers will see Allah Ta’ala in Jannah. Consider the following:

1) Jareer bin ‘Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and give him peace) has said, “Indeed you will all see your lord on the Day of Judgment similar to how you are able to see the moon without any difficulty.” (Bukhari)

2) Ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and give him peace) has said, “Verily the person in the lowest level of paradise will be able to see their gardens, their spouses, their blessings, their servants, and their thrones from the distance of one thousand years away. And the most blessed people in paradise will be those who see their lord day and night.” Ibn ‘Umar reports that the Messenger of Allah then read the verse, “There will be faces on that day which will be radiant. They will be able to see their lord. (Qiyamah: 22-23) (Tirmizi)

There many other general ahaadith which are similar to the above. In principle, all rulings and virtues in Qur’an and hadith apply to both genders unless a specific exception has been made. Subsequently, rulings of zakah, fasting, etc. are the same for both genders since no differentiation has been made. Likewise, there has been no differentiation between men and women in this virtue, thus these ahaadith would apply to both genders. 

والله اعلم

And Allah subhanahu wa ta’ala knows best.
