Houri


In Islamic mythology, the houris (/ˈhʊəriz, ˈhaʊəriz/) or ḥūr (plural of ḥaurāʾ, "gazelle-eyed (woman)") or ḥūrīyah (Arabic:حورية) are commonly translated as "(splendid) companions of equal age (well-matched)", "lovely eyed", of "modest gaze", "pure beings" or "companions pure" of paradise, denoting humans and jinn who enter Jannah (paradise) after being recreated anew in the hereafter.
