Transliteration:( Wa yatoofu 'alaihim wildaanum mukhalladoona izaa ra aytahum hasibtahum lu'lu 'am mansoora )
27. Among these youths some are heavenly creation like the hoories (heavenly damsels) as well as those children of the infidels who had died as minors. But they themselves would not be able to do good deeds, nor would their parents be believers. Their childhood would be eternal. They will never grow to the prime of their youth. They would be rendering service inside and outside Paradise. This tells us that in the homes of Paradise, strange youths will not be allowed without a veil.
Purdah will be practised in Paradise as well. Says Allah Almighty: "There hoories (heavenly are damsels) confined in tents" (S55:V72). The purdah of the world is the bounty of Paradise. Thus, being without a veil and shamelessness is the punishment of Hell.
28. This means these youths in the heavenly homes would be appearing walking and strolling in such a way like water pearls spread on a palm floor.
