MAGOGS:<br />

21:95 - But there is a ban on any population which We have destroyed: that they shall not return.<br />

2752<br />

2752 But when wickedness comes to such a pass that the Wrath of Allah descends, as it did on Sodom, the case becomes<br />

hopeless. The righteous were warned and delivered before the Wrath descended. But those destroyed will not get<br />

another chance, as they flouted all previous chances. They will only be raised at the approach of the Day of<br />

Judgment. (21.95)<br />

2753 For Gog and Magog see n. 2439 to xviii. 92. The name stands for wild and lawless tribes who will break their barriers<br />

and swarm through the earth. This will be one of the prognostications of the approaching Judgment. (21.96)<br />

See: 18:94; 21:96 etc under “Gogs”<br />

MAHAR: See under “Women”<br />

MAIDAH: See Surah 5<br />

MAIDENS:<br />

55:56 - In them will be (Maidens) Chaste restraining their glances whom no man or Jinn before<br />

them has touched 52095210<br />

5209 See notes 4728-29 to xliv. 54. (55.56)<br />

5210 Cf. xxxvii. 48 and n. 4064. Their purity is the feature hereby chiefly emphasised. (55.56)<br />

78 :33 - - And maidens for companions,<br />

44:54 - So; and We shall Join them to Companions with beautiful big and lustrous eyes. 47284729<br />

4728 The Maidens, like the scene, the dress, the outlook, and the fruit, will be beautiful. There will be life, but free from all<br />

earthly grossness. The women as well as the men of this life will attain to this indescribable bliss. (44.54)<br />

4729 Hur implies the following ideas: (1) purity, (2) beauty, especially of eyes, where the intense white of the eye-balls<br />

stands out against the intense black of the pupil, thus giving the appearance of lustre, and intense feeling, as opposed<br />

to dullness or want of expression; and (3) truth and goodwill. (44.54)<br />

56:35 - We have created (their Companions) of special creation. 5240<br />

5240 The pronoun in Arabic is in the feminine gender. It is made clear that these maidens for heavenly society will be of<br />

special creation,-of virginal purity, grace, and beauty, inspiring and inspired by love, with the question of time and age<br />

eliminated, (56.35)<br />

Al-Tirmidhi Hadith<br />

Hadith 1967 Narrated by<br />

Abdullah ibn Umar<br />

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Paradise is decorated for Ramadan from the beginning of the year till a following<br />

year, and when the first day of Ramadan comes, a wind under the throne blows some of the leaves of paradise on the<br />

maidens with large bright eyes, and they say, 'My Lord, appoint us husbands from among Thy servants, with whom we shall<br />

be happy and who will be happy with us."<br />

Bayhaqi transmitted it in Shu'ab al-Iman.<br />
