Let's begin with where houri exist. Houris are in paradise. People don't have corporeal bodies in paradise, so what then is the meaning of a virgin in that place? My wife is a native Arab speaker from Morocco and she informs me that a houri is like a fairy or an angel. Nothing to do with a virgin. When I read my daughter fairy tales I don't refer to the good virgin! It's the good fairy.
The quote is from a Hadith collection from Tirmidi. Of the six most commonly quoted collections, his ranks sixth in the respect it is accorded. Most Muslims have never read it, and had never heard the quote prior to 9/11. |
