صفات الحور العين
The characteristics of the companions with beautiful, big, and lustrous eyes


أن المرأة إذا دخلت الجنة فأن الله يعيد إليها شبابها وبكارتها لقول الرسول صلى الله عليه وسلم :"إن الجنة لا يدخلها عجوز ..إن الله تعالى إذا أدخلهن الجنة حولهن أبكاراً"

Indeed, when a woman enters Paradise Allah will restore her youth and her virginity. As Mohammed (Peace and blessings be upon him) said "Old women will not enter Paradise. Truly, Allah the Most High will admit them into Paradise and He will

transform them (back) into virgins


وأن نساء الدنيا يكن في الجنة أجمل من الحور العين بأضعاف كثيرة نظراً لعبادتهن الله
Verily the women of the world will be more beautiful than the women with beautiful, big, and lustrous eyes (i.e. the women of Paradise). With regard to the fact that the women of the world were (consistent and devout) in their worship of Allah


فهذه الجنة قد تزينت لكن فلا تضعن الفرصة فأن العمر عما قليل يرتحل ولا يبقى بعده إلا الخلود الدائم فليكن خلودكن في الجنة إن شاء الله واعلمن أن الجنة مهرها الإيمان والعمل الصالح وليس الأماني الباطلة مع التفريط

Paradise has been adorned and beautified for you (O Sisters) so do not squander this opportunity. Indeed, life is short, it will come to an end. Nothing will remain after it except eternal life

If god wills (Inshaa-Allah), your eternal life will begin in Paradise

Know (my beloved Sisters) that the dowry of Paradise is faith and righteous deeds not false aspirations
