وعليكم السلام ورحمة الله وبركاته

Yes, Allāh will grant the people of Jannah whatever they desire.

Allāh says:
{لَهُمْ مَا يَشَاءُونَ فِيهَا وَلَدَيْنَا مَزِيدٌ}
"They will have whatever they wish therein, and with Us is more." [50:35]

A child's imagination is vast, and they may express their desires in ways that seem unrealistic to adults. Rather than dismissing them, it is better to nurture their love for Jannah while gently guiding them away from admiration of characters like Spider-Man.

Know, dear sister, that cartoons, especially if they contain elements that contradict Islamic beliefs or undermine morals and ethics, are impermissible. The Marvel series, in particular, includes characters that distort and negate religious truths, such as those possessing supernatural abilities like bringing the dead back to life or having knowledge of the unseen. Some of these elements fall into the realm of sorcery and witchcraft, while others imitate the attributes of the Creator, which is impermissible.

Instead of saying that they can become Spider-Man, which might strengthen their attachment further, a better response would be to tell them, "What Allāh has prepared is far greater than anything we can imagine; it is even better than what we can think of."

This response aligns with the statement of Allāh in the ḥadīth Qudsi:
((أعددت لعبادي الصالحين ما لا عين رأت، ولا أذن سمعت، ولا خطر على قلب بشر، فاقرؤوا إن شئتم: {فلا تعلم نفس ما أخفي لهم من قرة أعين}))
"I have prepared for My righteous servants that which no eye has seen, no ear has heard, and no human heart has ever conceived. So recite, if you wish: 'No soul knows what joy is kept hidden for them as a reward for what they used to do.'" (32:17) [Bukhāri & Muslim]

This way, you nurture his excitement while keeping him away from being attached to these negative influences.

May Allāh bless your efforts in guiding your brother towards the love of Allāh and Jannah.

A short biography of shaykh Abu Rayhaana Abdul-Hakim

Abdul-Hakim Kamil is a native of New York City by way of the Bronx where he grew up in a Muslim family. His father Ahmad died unexpectedly before Abdul-Hakim’s second year after birth. His interest to study Arabic began in his early twenties. One fateful day while cleaning a file cabinet in the masjid he attended located in Harlem, he found a sheet of paper with the Arabic pronouns written on it, dated in 1971. Words could not describe his astonishment when he saw his father’s name written at the top of it. This sparked his interest to learn Arabic.

Then, in 1998 at the age of twenty-nine, he travelled to Yemen in pursuit of Arabic and Islamic studies where he eventually resided for over twenty years. During his first year he lived in the capital city of Sanaa, where he struggled learning Arabic on his own, without a teacher. Within one year, he became proficient in the language, however he annoyed and harassed the people in the masjid inquiring about the meanings of words, phrases, and sentences. Once he learned Arabic, he was fortunate to study at the School of Hadith in the village of Damaaj. There, he memorized the Quran and embarked upon Islamic studies.

Upon his arrival, he found many of the non-Arab students struggling to learn Arabic and become proficient. Many of them became overwhelmed by these difficulties and eventually abandoned their studies. He observed these difficulties primarily stemmed from faulty study habits along with many deficiencies he found in the books that were written to teach Arabic. This encouraged him to write what became a 5-book curriculum that simplified learning Arabic with proficiency titled “The Beneficial Fundamentals in Learning the Arabic Language”.

For over fifteen years, he has taught students from various parts of the world such as America, Britain, Canada, Russia, India, Africa and other places. Dozens of students have completed this curriculum and established a fluent understanding of the language, enabling them to pursue Islamic studies.

عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ الْبَاهِلِي رضي الله عنه قال: إنَّ فَتًى شابًّا أتى النَّبيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عليه وسلَّمَ فقال: يا رسولَ اللهِ، ائْذَنْ لي بالزِّنا، فأقبَلَ القَومُ عليه فزَجَروه وقالوا: مَهْ، مَهْ! فقال: ادْنُهْ، فدَنا منه قَريبًا، قال: فجَلَسَ، قال: أتُحِبُّه لأُمِّكَ؟ قال: لا واللهِ، جَعَلَني اللهُ فِداءَكَ، قال: ولا النَّاسُ يُحِبُّونَه لأُمَّهاتِهم، قال: أفتُحِبُّه لابنتِكَ؟ قال: لا واللهِ، يا رسولَ اللهِ، جَعَلَني اللهُ فِداءَكَ، قال: ولا النَّاسُ يُحِبُّونَه لبَناتِهم، قال: أفتُحِبُّه لأُختِكَ؟ قال: لا واللهِ، جَعَلَني اللهُ فِداءَكَ، قال: ولا النَّاسُ يُحِبُّونَه لأَخَواتِهم، قال: أفتُحِبُّه لعَمَّتِكَ؟ قال: لا واللهِ، جَعَلَني اللهُ فِداءَكَ، قال: ولا النَّاسُ يُحِبُّونَه لعَمَّاتِهم، قال: أفتُحِبُّه لخالتِكَ؟ قال: لا واللهِ، جَعَلَني اللهُ فِداءَكَ، قال: ولا النَّاسُ يُحِبُّونَه لخالاتِهم، قال: فوَضَعَ يدَه عليه وقال: اللَّهُمَّ اغفِرْ ذَنبَه، وطَهِّرْ قَلبَه، وحَصِّنْ فَرْجَه، قال: فلمْ يَكُنْ بعدَ ذلك الفَتى يَلتفِتُ إلى شيءٍ.
أخرجه الإمام أحمد 22211

A young man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allāh, permit me to commit Zinaa (fornication)."
The people around him rebuked him and said, "Mah! Mah!”
The Prophet ﷺ said, "Come closer."
So he came closer and sat down. The Prophet ﷺ asked him, "Would you like it for your mother?" He replied, "No, by Allāh, may Allāh sacrifice me for you." The Prophet ﷺ said, "And the people do not like it for their mothers."
The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Would you like it for your daughter?" He replied, "No, by Allāh, may Allāh sacrifice me for you." The Prophet ﷺ said, "And the people do not like it for their daughters."
The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Would you like it for your sister?" He replied, "No, by Allāh, may Allāh sacrifice me for you." The Prophet ﷺ said, "And the people do not like it for their sisters."
The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Would you like it for your aunt?" He replied, "No, by Allāh, may Allāh sacrifice me for you." The Prophet ﷺ said, "And the people do not like it for their aunts."
The Prophet ﷺ asked, "Would you like it for your maternal aunt?" He replied, "No, by Allāh, may Allāh sacrifice me for you." The Prophet ﷺ said, "And the people do not like it for their maternal aunts."
Then the Prophet ﷺ placed his hand on him (in another wording the prophet ﷺ placed his hand on the young man’s chest) and said, "O Allāh, forgive his sin, purify his heart, and protect his chastity." After that, the young man never turned to anything like that again.
