| A.W.W. The houris or damsels are of jannat. However, the women of this world will be the Queen houris. Cleaning the mosque is no small thing in fact its rewarding. |

| Bismillah and salam, Hoor Al-Ayn are the companions of the people who enter jannah insha'Allah. What I wrote means that the man was encouraging the boy by telling him that his good deeds of picking the yucky garbage up are what will help him attain a wonderful place in jannah with those beautiful companions. |

| [slm] Basically, the man is telling the young guy who's cleaning that , look, if you wanna get into Jannah (and be with the hoor al-een), you have to work for it. Hoor al-een don't come for free. Just like you have to pay a dowry to marry someone in this world, there is a dowry you have to pay to get the hoors. And that dowry is acts of righteousness (in this case, cleaning the Masjid :)) Wassalam. |

| [slm] One of the brothers once told me that there is a hadith which says that the reward for a man who cleans the masjid is a Hoor in Paradise. ;) |

| assalaamu alaikum A visiting Shaikh told us a funny story in his talk. He mentioned that the Hoor for the women in jannah would be their husbands from this world, and when one sister heard this she exclaimed "He's still going to be with me?!" lol. He then explained that any of the bad characteristics of the husband would be removed from him when he entered jannah. Kashif Wa Salaam |

| Bismillah and salam, Hey! I thought that from the lessons it means we do get the hoor een for women but that Allah does not say it explicitly because to protect our shyness and women don't in general declare the desires. And as well I learnt the husband will have way more strengthe to be like a group of men. And if you married more than one (passed away), you get to pick who you want to be with. |

| [slm] What? I thought that the hoors will be the earthly women!? Why will earthly men get heavenly women and that earthly women will get only eartly men? So what's something special that only women are promised and not men? I asked this question to my friend right now and she said that women in heaven won't have to cook! there will be servants! :D [wlm] Saleema |

| Bismillah and salam, Well my understanding is that all the humans who go to heaven insha'Allah will have hoor een. And the women from earth will be more beautiful than the heavenly creatures, and we will insha'Allah be the queens to them. |

| [slm] Here's an article about HOOR for man or for Woman ??? [hr] Hoor mentioned in the Qur’an The word hoor 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. Hoor Translated as Beautiful Maidens Many translators of the Qur’an have translated the word hoor as ‘beautiful maidens’ especially in the Urdu translations. If hoor 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 Hoor The word hoor 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 hoor has no specific gender. Mohammad Asad has translated the word hoor as spouse and Abdullah Yusuf Ali as companion. Therefore according to some scholars a man in paradise will have a hoor 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 hoor 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 hoor, 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.
