Transliteration:( Wa yatoofu 'alaihim wildaanum mukhalladoona izaa ra aytahum hasibtahum lu'lu 'am mansoora )
"And round about them shall go youths[27] never altering in age. When you see them, you will think them to be scattered pearls[28]."
✅ [27] The Eternal Youths in Paradise
In Paradise, there will be youths who will serve the righteous, and these youths will never age.
Some of these youths will be heavenly creations, like the hoories (heavenly damsels), while others will be children of infidels who passed away as minors.
These youths will remain in their eternal childhood, unable to perform deeds but will render service inside and outside Paradise.
The eternal childhood of these youths signifies that purdah (veil) will be practiced in Paradise, ensuring that modesty is maintained, just as it is in the worldly life.
Purdah and modesty are blessings of Paradise, whereas shamelessness and being without a veil are punishments of Hell.
✅ [28] The Beauty of Youths in Paradise
The youths of Paradise will appear like scattered pearls, reflecting their beauty and purity.
Their appearance will be radiant and flawless, similar to pearls spread on a smooth surface, symbolizing both their beauty and the perfect environment of Paradise.
