36. We will make them virgins [19],
[19] In ﴿أنْشَاْنَاهُنَّ﴾, the referent of ﴿هُنَّ﴾ can be the wives who accompanied them in the world, or the houris given in Paradise. Allah Almighty will make both types of women young and fresh, and they will also be virgins. They will always remain beautiful and youthful, whose words and mannerisms will inspire spontaneous affection. In Shamail Tirmidhi, it is narrated that an old woman came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "Pray for me to enter Paradise." He ﷺ replied, "No old woman will enter Paradise." She went back weeping, so he ﷺ said to the people, "Tell her that she will not enter Paradise in a state of old age. Allah Almighty has said that We will create them especially anew and make them virgins."
