Sura 44
Aya 54
54
كَذٰلِكَ وَزَوَّجناهُم بِحورٍ عينٍ

Yusuf Ali

So; and We shall join them to Companions1 with beautiful, big, and lustrous eyes.2
  • The Companions, like the scene, the dress, the outlook, and the fruit, will be beautiful. There will be life, but free from all earthly grossness. The women as well as the men of this life will attain to this indescribable bliss. (R).
  • Hur implies the following ideas: (1) purity; possibly the word Hawariyun, as applied to the first Disciples of Jesus, is connected with this root; (2) beauty, especially of eyes, where the intense white of the eyeballs stands out against the intense black of the pupil, thus giving the appearance of lustre, and intense feeling: as opposed to dullness or want of expression; and (3) truth and good will.
