Il a déjà précisé précédemment que le mot arabe « Al-ayn de hur » (houris), signifiant une belle, voluptueuse femme, était déjà bien connu en Arabie pré-Islamique et beaucoup d'exemples de son utilisation ont été préservés dans la poésie pré-Islamique. Quelques exemples peuvent être vus comme suit : Traduction courante : « Et les demoiselles aiment le blanc de statues d'ivoire des yeux, nous capturent. » Traduction courante : « Ils ont touché votre coeur, ces demoiselles blanches d'offre, près de la banque de fleuve. » Traduction courante : « Et dans la chambre des femmes quand la maison est pleines, sont les demoiselles blanches avec des voix charmantes. » Dans tous ces vers, nous avons affaire avec les femmes humaines, impeccables dans la beauté - une pupille très foncée et un iris très blanc de leurs yeux étant des essentiels et en particulier un dispositif attrayant de leur beauté. Car le vers du `Abid indique, de telles femmes ont été considérées un butin très précieux par les Arabes pré-Islamiques dans les incursions de ces périodes. Il doit noter ici que le concept des « houris du paradis » était généralement inconnu à l'Arabe pré-Islamique puisqu'ils n'ont pas cru en idée de ci-après. Cependant, le concept des « demoiselles du paradis » a été connu aux chrétiens (particulièrement les chrétiens de Syriac) des temps pré-Islamiques.
En dernier siècle, premier Hubert Grimme4, et plus tard le disciple islamique suédois célèbre et un maître compétent de Syriac, massif de roche Andrae5 a découvert l'idée des « demoiselles du paradis » - qui ont été censées compenser la chasteté et l'abstinence terrestres des moines chrétiens - dans les hymnes de la quatrième rue de père d'église de Syriac de siècle Ephraim (les épellations changent), autorisé : « Hymnes sur le paradis ». Rue Ephraim, dans la connotation sexuelle explicite, a évoqué la féminité de accueil des « vignes » merveilleuses ("gupna« , grammaticalement féminin dans Syriac), qui étaient de porter à leurs poitrines immaculées les moines âgés, dont la vie de l'abstinence n'avait jamais su les amours et la tendresse terrestres. Thus we read in the strophy 18: Here we clearly see St. Ephraim’s feeble attempts to spiritualize his sensual imagery. Just a little earlier in the text (in strophy 15) we find a solitary virgin, abstinent in her earthly lives, being surrounded by male beings (prophets, angels, apostles) in the heavens: The intended sexuality and the reward, of a sexual nature, in the heavens for the righteous of the world, are clear in these passages. Hence it is proved that the concept of “Maidens of Paradise” was also known in the pre-Islamic Arabia, especially among the Christians. The Qur’an, as is its style under normal circumstances, used the same words for the deliverance of its message, which were generally in vogue in the environment that it addressed. Since the idea of the Hereafter formed the cornerstone of the early Meccan preaching of the Qur’an therefore, to effectively make it preaching get across its addressees, it employed the same known word “hur” to describe the excellence of the reward for the righteous in the known Christian manner. This is further confirmed by the fact that it is only in the Meccan (and especially the chronologically early Meccan) Qur’anic passages in which the term “hur al-ayn” is used in sensual connotation. In the relevant Medinan Qur’anic passages6, we only find perfected counterparts/spouses (i.e., for both the righteous men and women). This should be a slap in the face of the polemic missionary propaganda. And only Allah knows best.
Whoever has abstained from wine on earth,
for him do the vines of Paradise yearn.
Each one of them holds out to them a bunch of grapes.
And if a man had lived in chastity, they [feminine] receive him
in a pure bosom,
because he as a monk did not fall into the bosom
and bed of earthly love.
The virgin who rejected
the marriage crown that fades
now has the radiant marriage chamber
that cherishes the children of light,
shining out because she rejected
the works of darkness-
To her who was alone
in a lonely house
the wedding feast now grants tranquility:
here angels rejoice,
prophets delight,
and apostles add splendor.

ROBINS said on 8 January 2007:
The whole point of this post is that “Ppl shoulkdn’t condemn the Muslims simply because the Quran says that “…dark eyed damsels awaits all Muslims in the here after”(even Muslim scholars like Al-Suyuti “”Each time we sleep with a houri we find her virgin. Besides, the penis of the Elected never softens. The erection is eternal; the sensation that you feel each time you make love is utterly delicious and out of this world and were you to experience it in this world you would faint. Each chosen one [ie Muslim] will marry seventy [sic] houris, besides the women he married on earth, and all will have appetising vaginas.”)
because the similar promises are made by them as well. This is just the same way of telling that “you are doing the same so don’t critcize us”. But the problem is Muslims always boast that other religions are corrupted. If your religion is not corrupted then why does it also have corrupt elements of other religions?
Ali said on 21 January 2007:
Note to ROBINS:
You are the sic one saying that the notion of companions in Heaven are corrupted not Islam and from the article not even Christianity condemns the notion!!!
If it is bad to have the pleasure of women in paradise then why do you enjoy the pleasure of your wife if it is something evil?
Lets suppose for the sake of argument your perversion has a point:
If having beautiful wives in heaven is something bad then why did your God create beautiful women on earth?
If to have sex in heaven is something bad then why do you have sex in the first place?
If sex in heaven is something bad then why did your God invent sex?
Why do you have sex with your wife and in your case girlfriends if its so vile and despicable?
I wonder what kind of perverted standards do you adhere to if you find both Islamic and Christian views of heavenly companionship as corrupted… next time provide references instead of writing your own perverted translations and associating it with Muslim Scholars.
Out of interest you might wanna check this out in your bible:
Matthew 25
The Parable of the Ten Virgins
1. “At that time the kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom.
2. Five of them were foolish and five were wise.
3. The foolish ones took their lamps but did not take any oil with them.
4. The wise, however, took oil in jars along with their lamps.
5. The bridegroom was a long time in coming, and they all became drowsy and fell asleep.
6. “At midnight the cry rang out: ‘Here’s the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’
7. “Then all the virgins woke up and trimmed their lamps.
8. The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil; our lamps are going out.’
9. ” ‘No,’ they replied, ‘there may not be enough for both us and you. Instead, go to those who sell oil and buy some for yourselves.’
10. “But while they were on their way to buy the oil, the bridegroom arrived. The virgins who were ready went in with him to the wedding banquet. And the door was shut.
11. “Later the others also came. ‘Sir! Sir!’ they said. ‘Open the door for us!’
12. “But he replied, ‘I tell you the truth, I don’t know you.’
13. “Therefore keep watch, because you do not know the day or the hour.
Parable of the virgins…5 women alone in a room with a guy….
Besides it is in Christian circles that angels are depicted as semi naked women with wings … hmmm wonder why?

Emmanuel said on 8 June 2007:
Ali, you really missed the point of that parable.The parable refers to the End of Days.
Syed said on 29 June 2007:
Robins, you are missing the point, the point is there is nothing wrong with getting such things in paradise. The thing is many use double standards when claiming that such a things is perverted
