حور و قصور کا تصور: قرآن و حدیث کی روشنی میں ایک تجزیاتی مطالعہ

Abstract

The present study provides an analytical and research-based review of the concept of "Hoor-o-Qasoor" (heavenly spouses and palaces) in Islam, in the light of the Qur'an and Hadith. According to Islamic beliefs, Paradise and its bounties constitute a fundamental part of the eternal reward for believers, among which hoors (pure companions) and qasoor (grand palaces) hold a prominent position. This paper conducts a text-based analysis of Qur'anic verses and authentic traditions (Ahadith) to clarify the true nature, attributes, and purposes of this concept. The research reveals that the mention of hoor-o-qasoor is not merely limited to material or physical pleasure; rather, it manifests the spiritual, psychological, and eternal gratification of believers in contrast to worldly trials. Furthermore, this study offers a scholarly critique of modern misconceptions and objections that arise from viewing this concept through a purely materialistic lens. In conclusion, these blessings represent the ultimate reward of Allah Almighty’s mercy, justice, and the believer's loyalty—the true reality of which transcends human intellect and worldly standards.
