56. In those gardens will be women who lower their gaze [36], whom neither any human nor jinn has ever touched before.
[36] The first and foremost quality of the women of Paradise will be that they are modest and shy; they will not try to look at anyone other than their husbands. Despite being extremely beautiful, unlike the women of this world, they will not exchange glances with their admirers. Their second quality will be that they are virgins or maidens. Besides the houris, the women that the people of Paradise will receive will be those who were their wives in this world. Even if they had children in this world or had grown old, they will be made youthful and virginal and then admitted into Paradise. From this verse, it is also understood that the process of procreation exists among the jinn as well, and the believing jinn who enter Paradise will also be given their wives from this world, made youthful and virginal.
