The Response to the So Called Syriac Nonsense About the Meaning of the Houris

Among the funny doubts, the ignorant claim that the Almighty’s saying, “And We married them to houris” does not mean marrying houris, meaning the women of Paradise with wide, very white eyes. Rather, houris is a Syriac phrase that has another meaning,

which is that the Qur’an was not punctuated and that the correct word is “and We roused them” and not “we married them.” In Syriac, the letter “ba” means “between,” and houris means white grapes, and “ayn” means the spring of water near the white grapes, so the meaning is “and We blessed them among the white grapes near the springs of water.” May our Lord save us from ignorance and nonsense.

The answer to them

is that the Companions memorized the Qur’an in their hearts before the punctuations, and they distinguished between the letters “zay” and “ra” and between the letters “ha” and “jim.” Rather, the punctuations were based on what they had memorized and what others had heard from them. The hadiths indicate that houris are women whom a Muslim will marry in Paradise. O God, provide for us, O Lord of the Worlds.

The letter “ba” is an Arabic letter that indicates companionship and attachment, and the letter “ba” in Syriac also indicates companionship and attachment, as well as indicating place. It is not only used to indicate spatial circumstance, but rather On what basis did they assume that the letter Baa is Syriac and indicates place only, although the letter is used in Arabic and indicates companionship in Syriac as well

This is what Bishop Yaqoub Okin mentioned in his Syriac-Arabic dictionary

ܣܶܕܪܳܐ ܕܒܶܝܬ

Chapter of Baa

The Most Holy (11) for distinction, such as ܗܳܢܳܐ ܥܰܫܺܝܼܢ ܡܶܢܳܟ ܒܡܶܠܬ̥ܳܐ This is stronger than you in speech (12) for partialization, meaning from, such as ܒܰܕ̥ܡܶܗ ܚܰܝܳܐ ܐܰܪܘܺܝܼ ܐܶܢܽܘܿܢ He intoxicated them with His living blood (13) for comparison, meaning like and like, such as ܒܫܶܡܫܳܐ ܚܰܘܰܪܘ Make your garments white as the sun (14) for superiority, like ܢܶܗܦܽܘܿܟ ܥܰܘܠܶܗ ܒܪܹܺܫܶܗ[2] His sin will return upon his head (15) for the end of the goal, like ܢܶܗܘܶܐ ܚܢܰܢ ܫܡܳܐ ܒܺܝܼܫܳܐ ܒܚܰܪܬ̥ܶܗ ܕܥܳܠܡܳܐ And we will be an ugly name until the end of the world (16) for warning and alerting, like ܐܶܙܕܰܗܪ Beware of defiling the faith. (17) For the purpose, meaning for the sake of, like, for this reason we obey you (18) for emphasis, like, for the sake of, on that very day. The verb itself is (19) to mention the subject with the passive verb, such as: From you, O Lord, we are all blessed (20), meaning between, such as: I counted him among the simple ones (21)

We come to the word Hour (ܚܘܪ)

which is one of the common words between the two languages

. In Arabic and Syriac it means intense whiteness, but in Syriac it does not mean white grapes, but its meaning is intense whiteness only. See the pictures .

Definition and meaning of Hour (عين) in the comprehensive dictionary of meanings - Arabic-Arabic dictionary

Hour (عين):

white women or women with very white eyes and intense black pupils, or women with wide eyes with intense whiteness and blackness, “{reclining on lined couches, and We have married them to wide-eyed, beautiful women}.”

He turned away from something:

he turned away from it.

Hour (عين): (Terminology)

The women of Paradise, with wide, beautiful eyes. (Jurisprudence)

A squinting eye:

As for the word ‘ayn ܥܝܢ, it is Arabic and also in Syriac it means the eye with which we see and also the spring of waters.

‘ayn: (noun) Al-Ma’ani Al-Jami’ Dictionary

Plural: ‘ayyun, a’yun, a’yan Dual: ‘aynaan

The eye: the organ of sight for humans and other animals

The eye: the spring of water that springs from the ground and flows (in them are two springs flowing)

See the pictures and the meaning according to the context and the context The intended meaning of the eye cannot be the spring of waters even if it was as they interpreted it, this construction is not valid and consistent and we made them rest among the white grapes the spring of waters but it is consistent if we say and we married them with wives with white eyes

and the story is over

so O God, marry us from the houris what pleases our souls

Amen Lord of the worlds
