Re: Ghilam - The Handsome Youths of Paradise
And round about them will (serve) boys of everlasting youth. If you see them, you would think them scattered pearls. (Koran 76:19)
Are these guys going to serve the same purpose as Nymphs (Hoor) or are they simply servants?
I eagerly asked that question to my Imam and the poor guy almost had an heart attack, he says "no no akhiy (brother), they are simply servants/cup-bearers to serve non-intoxicant wine to the Believers in Paradise, their relationship with their masters will be purely platonic, they will be like their sons..."
I was like "yaar!!".
Does anyone have an alternative intrepretation?
Imam is right.
