Answer 3

1. h**r mentioned in the Qur’an

The word h**r occurs in the Qur’an in no less than four different places:

(1)   In Surah Dukhan chapter 44, verse 54

"Moreover, We shall join them to companions

With beautiful, big and lustrous eyes."

[Al-Qur’an 44:54]

(2)   In Surah Al-Tur chapter 52 verse 20

"...And We shall join them to companions, with beautiful,

big and lustrous eyes."

[Al-Qur’an 52:20]

(3)  In Surah Rahman chapter 55 verse 72

"Companions restrained (as to their glances), in goodly pavilions."

[Al-Qur’an 55:72]

(4)   In Surah Al-Waqiah chapter 56 verse 22

"And (there will be) companions with beautiful, big and lustrous eyes."

[Al-Qur’an 56:22]

2. h**r Translated as Beautiful Maidens

Many translators of the Qur’an have translated the word h**r as ‘beautiful maidens’ especially in the Urdu translations. If h**r means ‘beautiful maidens’ or girls, then they are meant only for the men. Hence, what will the women get if they enter Paradise?

3. Meaning of h**r

The word h**r is actually the plural of ahwar (applicable to man) and of haura (applicable to woman) and signifies a person having eyes characterized by hauar a special quality bestowed upon a good soul, male or female in paradise and it denotes the intense whiteness of the white part of the spiritual eye.

The Qur’an describes in several other verses that in paradise you will have azwaj which mean a pair or spouse or companion which means you will have spouses or companions pure and holy (mutaharratun means pure, holy).

"But give glad tidings to those who believe and work righteousness, that their portion is gardens, beneath which rivers flow. Every time they are fed with fruits therefrom, they say: "Why, this is what we were fed with before", for they are given things in similitude; and they have therein companions pure (and holy); and they abide therein (forever)".

[Al-Qur’an 2:25]

"But those who believe and do deeds of righteousness, We shall soon admit to Gardens, with rivers flowing beneath – their eternal home; therein shall they have companions pure and holy: we shall admit them to shades, cool and ever deepening". [Al-Qur’an 4:57]

Therefore the word h**r has no specific gender. Mohammad Asad has translated the word h**r as spouse and Abdullah Yusuf Ali as companion. Therefore according to some scholars a man in paradise will have a h**r that is a beautiful maiden with beautiful big and lustrous eyes and a woman in paradise will get a man with beautiful big and lustrous eyes.

4.     Women will get something exceptional in Paradise

Many scholars say that in context, the word h**r used in the Qur’an refers only to ladies since gents are addressed. A reply that would be accepted by all types of people would rather be the answer given in the Hadith when a similar question was posed that if a man gets a h**r, a beautiful Maiden in Paradise, then what will the women get? The reply was that the women will get that which the heart has not desired for, the ear hasn’t heard off and the eye hasn’t seen, indicating that even the women will get something exceptional in Paradise.

Prophetic Commentary on the Quran (Tafseer of the Prophet (pbuh)) [60:303] Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet, said, "Allah said, 'I have prepared for My pious worshipers such things as no eye has ever seen, no ear has ever heard of, and nobody has ever thought of. All that is reserved, besides which, all that you have seen, is nothing." Then he recited:-- 'no soul knows what is kept hidden (in reserve) for them of joy as a reward for what they used to do.' (32.17)

...

Answer 14

It's not in the Book. There are no virgins, not 72 prostitutes, etc.

It refers to both males and females and is describing the people of Heaven, pure and innocent. Who else would be in heaven?

Answer 15

allah

Answer 16

Thanks for putting a bad image in my head.

Answer 17

Considering the religion, unless otherwise specified the women probably don't get anything. Either that or they will say that the women will have the 'honor' of serving the men in all ways.

Answer 18

It was still being debated in the Catholic church until quite recently whether women even had souls.  I would imagine in heavy duty Islamic countries women aren't seen as having souls - therefore they're just animals - and they don't really get into heaven on their own.  

But it will be interesting to see what answers the Muslims will give - perhaps I am all wet on this one.

Answer 19

are you sure they got the virgin part right... I could have said virginians.  

Answer 20

Virgins are referred as the "houri" (pure, most beautiful of eye, whom neither man nor invisible being have ever touched) are mentioned in several places in the Qur’an, although in plural no specific number is given to the amount of houries available. Likewise it does not appear from the Qur’an that only girls should be available; both sexes are mentioned. And they are made available to all Muslims, not just martyrs.

So, yes, females will get 70 horny virgin men (wow! can they handle that? sounds like h**l!). However, if you ask a muslim, he will tell you that the pleasure is only "spiritual" ;-)

Answer 21

Yes, They get to relax, take a break and be with women that they truely want to develop real, intament  relationships with; plus more!!!!  All without men!

Answer 22

Technically speaking, they themselves being the virgins that a man inherits, they get the "privilege" of being wives for these men.

That's how messed up they are... or not.  Depends on your perspective.

Answer 23

they have 2 cover their faces they don't have that many rites if any

Answer 24

Um.. never heard anything about what woman get.... prolly one man and six other virgins.. lmao

Answer 25

they get to show their faces in public...once

Answer 26
