THE HUR AYN

 *THE HUR AYN*

Is it true men who shall enter jannah will have extra wives in addition to his wife in this world?

Yes' and those females in jannah are called  *Hur ayn*

*Hur ayn:* are females Allah created in jannah which will be given to men who shall enter jannah as wives.

*Hur:* refers to fair females

*Ayn:* refers to beautiful and bright huge eyes.

*Description of Hur ayn as reward for the those men who shall enter jannah*

Allah says:

*“And there will be Hur (fair females) with wide lovely eyes as wives for Al-Muttaqoon (the pious).*

Waaqi’ah 56:22

Verse 23:

“Like unto preserved pearls” means, as if they are pure, white, shining pearls, which are covered and protected from people’s eyes, the wind and the sun. 

Their colour is one of the most beautiful of colours and they have no fault or blemish of any kind. 

This is how al-hoor al-‘iyn are: *they have no faults of blemishes of any kind, they don't urinate nor menstruate nor complain of toilet,  rather they are beautiful in all ways.*

Every time you gaze upon her, you see nothing but that which gladdens the heart.

*“and they (men who shall enter jannah) shall have therein Azwaajun Mutahharatun(purified mates or wives), and they will abide therein forever”*

Baqarah 2:25

Ibn al-Qayyim said:

Allaah describes them as pure: “and they shall have therein Azwaajun Mutahharatun(purified mates or wives)”, pure from menses, urine and the like (stools) and all off-putting features that may exist in the women of this world.

 And their hearts are pure from envy, annoyance of their husbands, meanness or wishing for husbands other than them.

*Hur Ayn will have same age of 33 as their husband's*

Allaah says in suratul waqiah vs 35:

“Verily, We have created them (maidens) of special creation.

And made them virgins.

Loving (their husbands only), (and) of equal age”

Waaqi’ah 56:35-37

Ibn Katheer said: 

With regard to the word “loving (‘uruban)”, Sa’eed ibn Jubayr said, quoting from Ibn ‘Abbaas that it means: they are loving towards their husbands. It was narrated from Ibn ‘Abbaas that al-‘urub are those who love their husbands and their husbands love them. 

*With regard to the word “of equal age* (atraaban)”, al-Dahhaak said, quoting from Ibn ‘Abbaas, that it means: of the same age, *thirty-three years.*   

Al-Saddi said: “atraaban” means that they are equal in temperament and they do not resent or envy one another, i.e., *they are not like co-wives*

*BELIEVING WOMEN ARE HIGHER IN STATUS THAN HUR AYN*

If a righteous woman from among the people of this world enters Paradise, then she will do so as a reward for her righteous deeds and as a honour from Allaah to her for her religious commitment and righteousness. 

As for the *hur ayn* who is one of the delights of Paradise, she has only been created in Paradise for the sake of someone else, and has been made the reward for the believing man for his righteous deeds. 

There is a great difference between one who enters Paradise as a reward for her righteous deeds and the one who was created as a reward for one who did righteous deeds. 

The former is a queen and a princess, and the latter, no matter how beautiful she is, is undoubtedly lower in status than a queen, and she is subject to the command of her believing master for whom Allaah created her as a reward.

May Allaah grant include us among those men MOTIVATION:

*We cannot direct the wind but we can adjust the sails. No one knows tomorrow, but we can adapt positively to whatever comes our way.*
