Transliteration:( Jannaatu 'adiny yadkhu loonahaa wa man salaha min aabaaa'ihim wa azwaajihim wa zurriyyaatihim walmalaaa'i katu yadkhuloona 'alaihim min kulli baab )

The verse also shows that the homes of the righteous in Paradise will have many doors, indicating openness, constant greetings, and the absence of veils or barriers between angels and the pious.
