I have heard that we will all be 33-years-old when we enter jannah…if we do so…inshaAllah.
So last night, a strange thought came to me. Imagine you are 33 and meeting with both your parents who are also 33. Would you treat each other more like peers or would the dynamics of that parent-child bond still be there? Interesting thought right? Is it just me or has anyone else wondered about this?
Re: 33 shall we be?
maybe let some one else give his opinion on this, but I personally dont think we will have the same relations there
Re: 33 shall we be?
So, then you are of the opinion we will be more like peers. It's fascinating. I mean there is so much depth in the parent-child bond....would it be removed or erased from our memories. Being in this world, it's hard to imagine your mom or dad as one of your peers. But then, we take the parent relationship for granted and don't give them the respect they deserve.
Re: 33 shall we be?
From what I remember hearing, the men will be 33 and women will be younger than that.
Re: 33 shall we be?
Ja ker dikhtay hain inshallah.
Happy either way, bus let me in ya ALLAH :)

can be, we are in a different world here, concept of birth hence our parents...over there if we think of it, no birth...baaqi wallahu alam. On day of judgement every one would be worried about himself, not about his parents or siblings...this can be emulated in jannah too.
Re: 33 shall we be?
Only deen as a way of life advised by Allah can lead us to life of paradise mazhab only and only leads to life of hell because it is shirk to live life in any other way and that is what mazhab is all about.
So time for people to read the quran as book of deen to see what actual message of the quran may be.
The young kids, huffaaz and martyrs would be doing shifaa'at for their parents to have them enter Jannah, or so I heard.
If that is true then we know that parent child bond will be intact on the day of judgment, so assuming that it will remain that way in jannah also.

Re: 33 shall we be?
RV - the life of the Hereafter will be nothing like this life. We know this because it's mentioned countless times in the Quran, and even in the ahadith, that it will be like no eye has seen or ear has heard.
I haven't heard of the 33-age thing, but even if it is so, I would imagine the relationships we have would be beyond our comprehension in this life. For starters, we won't have physical bodies - only souls. Also, Heaven is described as an infinite cycle where once we reach one stage, we see more light ahead of us and try to attain the next stage. Because Allah is Al Nur, His Light is never-ending, so our ibadat would be never ending. So I don't even think the concept of relationships between parents/friends/spouse would be important.
I think you're thinking too this-worldly. You know that fleeting feeling you sometimes get when praying, where you feel complete and utter peace and serenity, as if you are at one with yourself and you feel safe with Allah? I think that's what Heaven will be like. Except a lot more intense, and you will want to feel it more as you progress through the stages. In fact, the Quran also mentions three stages of development of the soul: nafse ammarah, nafse lawwama and nafse mutmainah - the latter being 'the soul at peace'. This stage is what believers can experience in this life, and is a taste of the Hereafter.

Redvelvet :salam2:
Yes the following ahadith do confirm that people of Jannah will be around 33 years of age (that is the age when we are at prime of our lives)
Narrated Muaadh ibn Jabal :
“The people of Paradise will enter Paradise hairless, beardless with their eyes anointed with kohl, aged thirty or thirty-three years.” Tirmidhi 2468 al-Musnad Imam Ahmad 2/315
“Whoever of the people of Paradise dies, young or old, will be aged thirty-three in Paradise and will never grow older, and the same applies to the people of Hell.” (Tirmidhi)
Yes, the parents, grandparents, great grandparents……. Children, grandchildren, great grandchildren…… will be of same age but will recognise the of rank each other with due respect.
Male and female will be of same age as stated in the following noble ayahs of the Noble Quran
(The Righteous will be in the) Gardens of Eternity whose doors will (ever) be open to them;
Therein will they recline (at ease); therein can they call (at pleasure) for fruit in abundance and (delicious) drink;
And beside them will be chaste women restraining their glances, (companions) of equal age. Surah Saad verses 50-53:
Verily for the Righteous there will be a fulfillment of (the Heart’s) desires;
Gardens enclosed and Grape-vines;
(And) Companions of Equal Age; Surah Naba verses 31-33:
May Allah Guide us to the right path of life that will lead us all to Jannah Al-Firdous
