"she is of white colour"

that is not racist, it is a description.

what are you implying by "pearls"? how is that racist?

this is obviously a weak translation, with improper wording.

with these sorts of posts coming from you, i am starting to question your motives, as GOE does.

read this.

it explains everything you need to know about the "virgins".

[al-arab]

Are you yet again talking badly about Islam in a hidden way Karachi and implying it as being a racist religion?

Have you not seen the ayah and parts of surah I have quoted on the aspect of racism in the Holy Quran as a warning to you?

Or the authentic ahadith?

You can start posting the original Qur'anic not English translation.

Young so called ladies, if you start acting like women you will be treated like women.
If you pretend to be silly, then don't be surprised you are treated like silly ones.

Plus, what was the point to interfere in a serious topic, if you don't have anything to say apart from ignorant comments?

Subhan... mind your language a little. No one deserve to be called a bitch...

I need help in explaning the following, some people on other forums are attacking Islam calling it racist. Is this just a bad translation of Quran?


"A houri is a most beautiful young woman with a transparent body. The marrow of her bones is visible like the interior lines of pearls and rubies. She looks like red wine in a white glass. She is of white color, and free from the routine physical disabilities of an ordinary woman such as menstruation, menopause, urinal and offal discharge, child bearing and the related pollution. A houri is a girl of tender age, having large breasts which are round (pointed), and not inclined to dangle. Houris dwell in palaces of splendid surroundings."[49]

(QURAN 52:24): "And there will go round boy-servants of theirs, to serve them as if they were preserved pearls."

(QURAN 56:17): "They will be served by immortal boys."

(QURAN 76:19): "And round about them will (serve) boys of everlasting youth. If you see them, you would think them scattered pearls."

Some Advice

1) Stop being an apologist for your religion, whether that be on biodiversity message boards or others. Non-muslims are trying to get a rise out of you. This is the most important of all the points.

2) The "She is white in colour" is from Tirmidhis collection of ahadeeth. If you really want to check the authenticity of this hadeeth please check with what the scholars had said about its chain of naration. This is easy to do. Is it Daeef, mawdooh, saheh? What is the commentary on it?

3) Bukharis collection says she that the hoor of jannah will be transparent, and as far as i know the quran does not specify the colour. We know Bukhari to be the most authentic book after the Quran. Allah knows best.

4) Lastly, who cares what the Kuffar think? They'll be roasting in the pits of hell, whilst you inshallah will be enjoying paradise. So, why do you have to justify anything to them, it's like someone who is eating baked beans for dinner commenting on the fact that your tandoori chicken doesn't have enough side dishes to go with it? I mean, are you really going to care what they think ?

Good reply by khyberkhan,
@karachi.
never use internet for learning some thing about islam, buy some authentic islamic books in urdu.

Fair skin is one aspect of beauty. A very long nose, very wide mouth, very small eyes, very large nose, very large ears are never considered beautiful...physical beauty doesnt depend upon eye of beholder....i find pure black african women with protruding jaws, thick lips, wide nose and whooly hair least attractive...it doesnt mean i am racist...if beauty was in the eye of beholder than there would never have been concept of uglyliness and beauty of humans in this world.
