26 THE MAIDENS OF JANNAT 27 THE MAIDENS OF JANNA TAllamah Alusi explains that the verse refers to thoseeggs which human hands have not yet touched, so theyare clean from any dirt or dust. In the same way, thehurs will be clean and free <strong>of</strong> all impurities. Thecomparison between the hurs and eggs is also madebecause <strong>of</strong> the yellow-whitish colour <strong>of</strong> both, which isknown to be the most beautiful skin-colour for women.Another explanation for this comparison is that the parts<strong>of</strong> an egg are known for being perfectly proportionedand conforming to one another. In the same way, all thebody parts and features <strong>of</strong> the hurs will go perfectlytogether. 30Allah ~ says,64-~1 J w~~1 ~LS"[In beauty] these women are like rubies and smallpearls. ,,31The comparison between the hurs and rubies is intransparency. A person can see through a ruby and knowwhat is on the other side. In the same way, a person willbe able to see through the hurs because <strong>of</strong> the cleanlinessand delicate nature <strong>of</strong> their skin and body. Allah ~ hasalso compared the hurs to small pearls because <strong>of</strong> theirs<strong>of</strong>tness, whiteness, and pleasant sight.32The perfume and radiance <strong>of</strong> the women <strong>of</strong> <strong>Jannat</strong>0A»oJ~ JI ~I ~ uA ~J) : Jt:! ~ ~I JJ"-"-J61 ~ u-J1lP0A»
