Sura 52
Aya 20
20
مُتَّكِئينَ عَلىٰ سُرُرٍ مَصفوفَةٍ ۖ وَزَوَّجناهُم بِحورٍ عينٍ

Yusuf Ali

They will recline (with ease) on Thrones (of dignity) arranged in ranks;1 and We shall join them to Companions, with beautiful big and lustrous eyes.2
  • Every one will have a Throne of dignity, but it does not follow that the dignity will be the same. Every one’s Personality will be purified but it will not be merged into one general sameness.
  • Cf. 44:54, and notes 4728 and 4729, where the meaning of Hur is fully explained. This is the special sharing of individual Bliss one with another. The next verse refers to the general social satisfaction shared with all whom we lived in this earthly life.
