To: soc.religion.islam From: fhaddad@unix.asb.com (Fouad Haddad) Subject: Re: Beautiful Virgins (Houris) Date: 16 Dec 1996 09:32:31 -0800 In article <591vht$psi@shellx.best.com> Paul Boerswrites in part: >78:32 hadai'q (gardens) wa a'naban (and grapevins) >78:33 wa kawaa'ib (and creatures with full, swelling breasts) atraban >(of the same age) not full but "budding." ... >I am eager to read an answer from AdbelraHman Lomax, Fouad Haddad or >anyone else. Regards, Paul. I have said from the beginning that the Hur al-`ayn are mentioned clearly as female in the holy Qur'an. I consider the evidence to that effect explicit, and even more so in the hadith, while `Abd al-Rahman Lomax has differed. Since our last exchange on the topic I have come accross this passage in one of the books of transcribed talks of my grand-shaykh, Shaykh Nazim al-Haqqani, speaking of his master Shaykh `Abd Allah al-Daghistani: Our Grandshaykh was saying: "If a man looks upon one of the ladies of Paradise (houris), he will be useless with the most beautiful girl in this world. So radiant are their beauties! "But, if a woman is a believer in this world, her beauty in the next world will be greater than that of those girls in Paradise. Women believers will be queens in Paradise; the houris will be their servants!" Blessings and Peace on the Prophet, his Family, and his Companions.
