Default Question about heaven mentioned in the Qur'an
Assalamo alaykum ... I believe in Islam, but however i have some doubt, if you can plz help me clearing it....
Why the description of heaven in Qur'an is so materialistic?? The Houris (hoors/hoor al-Ayn) have variously been described as being "chaste females", "restraining their glances", "modest gaze", "wide and beautiful/lovely eyes", "untouched / with hymen unbroken by sexual intercourse", "like pearls", "virgins", "voluptuous/full-breasted", "with large, "non-menstruating/urinating/defecating and childfree", round breasts which are not inclined to hang", "companions of equal age", "transparent to the marrow of their bones", "eternally young", "hairless" , "pure", "beautiful", "white", "revirginating", "splendid beauty".
I can think of other materialistic things dere like palaces and all, because even there, we will stay human by nature, so we will like those things there as well, but what about men getting hoors, men never loosing their sexual strength?? was such things necessary to be present there? Wont their wives be jealous?? Scholars say that their will be no such feeling of jealousy, then why men will still want virgins there?
If heaven is a big picture, and all these things is just an optional part, then why only these things are mentioned in the Qur'an??
All these questions are raised by a non-muslim to me and i was unable to answer... Please put some light on this topic.
