About companions in paradise... for women! :O
-
To be honest, I want to know the real meaning of hoor (I have curiosity), but maybe I can't really know about it during my life in this world, unless God allows me to know about it before I die.
Portraying hoor as "virgin nymph for the pious man" is too "rough" or even "sassy", if I may say so.
I think "hoor/hr" does not specifically refer to female entity.
If I loook at the use of the triliteral root ww r ( ر in the Qur'an, then to me, looks like this root has implication to describe some qualities such as "fair", "loyal", "close/familiar", "pure/clean", "solidarity", "honest", "supportive", "caring", the words that relate with goodness that can be find in the bond of friendship.
So, in my personal opinion, perhaps "hoor" is used to describe the excellent and fair quality of something, e.g. the quality that required to establish pure friendships, probably such quality will be granted by God to those who reside in Jannah.

I wanted to share this, one of the reasons I left Islam in the past was the lack of recompense to women, BUT that is only what the translation says...
The actual meanings of "Companion" (hoor al-ayn) depends on the eye of the beholder.
For some (straight adult) men, they think they shall have girls to do sex orgies..
And this has become the 'most popular view'.
No wonder it ain't compelling to gays, (straight) women or children.The one that I'm most intrigued about is actually the 'sexual urge' itself.
Given.... there's no need of doing species reproduction, why should there be any 'sexual urge'?
Sexual urge is driven by hormone to ensure the longevity of the species (reproduction)
And that's why children doesn't have any.In my (personal) view, in jannah (if it really exist) people will become 'genderless' and 'non-sexual'.

Sex is whatever one makes of it, like most things. It may ennoble, it may demean. And like all the physical things it is an allegory of a deeper reality.
If we ennoble it here, like if we ennoble anything else here we will have it in the purest state when we leave the material world. The material world is reality flatenned out to three or four dimensions. Just like a picture is a relaity flatenned to two dimensions. Our life here is constricted because it is material. In the Other we will recognize things, but they will be beyond what we can conceive now. I think to start with one may feel absolutely lost till one gets a "foothold". But I don't know.
What the Qur'an says, I can't remember the aya, we will get what we desire. By that of course, I do not understand the 72 sex servicers or anything of the kind, but those desires, the deep desires of the heart for beauty, justice, rahma, joy, trust, compannionship, extasis..., whatever our heart desires. We don't get in this world all we crave for, but the mere belief in it makes for a satisfactory life. In sha Allah may we all attain to that and may God forgive us our little material meannesses.
Salaam

Hello! thank you all for your replies -)
I wanted to share it for the purpose I mentioned, for women so we wont be discouraged, or maybe for the new hadith followers reading the forum, who knows?
We already know its an interesting topic for all , feel free to share it if you want to but dont try to make fun of my "good logic" on where or when sharing things. Thank you.
Btw I dont feel bad if some guys comment here, I suppose we could have an "al about women" category but not restricted to women...we dont need that "women are worst/shameful" thing.I also think hoor as whiteness could mean pureness, well only God knows.
And I think I read somewhere in Quran that God will repeat creation for the last time in 2920 , so there will be no need for companions for procreation, maybe for fun, or who knows? Only God knows.
Share if you want and see those hadith followers confused! Thats the first stage of learning.
Thank you all! -)

Bold Perhaps this addressed to me?
Don't worry, sister lila. I was just joking with my big brother. D
Brother good logic is very kind and helpful, one of my best friends here, and also my big brother in faith.

This is the topic that actually started my doubts. There are those who translate the word "hoor" (plural for "Hawra" (female) and "Ahwar" (male)) as pure companions. I'm quite content with such a definition and it makes sense.
