Surah Al-Insaan (76) — Ayah 19

(Ayah 19) {وَ يَطُوْفُ عَلَيْهِمْ وِلْدَانٌ مُّخَلَّدُوْنَ … :} That is, in the gatherings of the people of Paradise, such boys will circulate to serve them, who will have two prominent qualities: first, that they will always remain children, because for service, children are more active and suitable than adults, and there is no hesitation in asking them to do any task. Second, they will be so beautiful that when you see them coming and going, you will think they are scattered pearls. Their being spread everywhere for service has been likened to the scattering of pearls. Will these boys be a separate creation whom Allah Almighty will create for the service of the people of Paradise, or will they be the children of the people of Paradise themselves? Although the first possibility is also possible, but from Surah At-Tur it is understood that they will be the children of the people of Paradise themselves, as He said: « وَ يَطُوْفُ عَلَيْهِمْ غِلْمَانٌ لَّهُمْ كَاَنَّهُمْ لُؤْلُؤٌ مَّكْنُوْنٌ» [ الطور : ۲۴ ] "And their boys will circulate among them, as if they were hidden pearls." From this, it is understood that these boys will be their own children who died in the world, or if anyone desires children in Paradise, those children will be granted to them. These children will circulate around them for service and will be a source of further comfort and happiness for them. (And Allah knows best) Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: [ اَلْمُؤْمِنُ إِذَا اشْتَهَی الْوَلَدَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ، كَانَ حَمْلُهُ وَوَضْعُهُ وَسِنُّهُ فِيْ سَاعَةٍ وَّاحِدَةٍ، كَمَا يَشْتَهِيْ ] [ ابن ماجہ، الزھد، باب صفۃ الجنۃ : ۴۳۳۸، وقال الألباني صحیح ] "When a believer desires a child in Paradise, its conception, birth, and growing up will happen in an instant, according to his wish."
