(Al-Waqi’ah 56:22) mereka digambarkan selalu perawan, dengan umur sebaya yang diciptakan langsung tanpa proses kelahiran,<ref>Sesungguhnya Kami menciptakan mereka (wanita surga) dengan langsung, dan Kami jadikan mereka gadis-gadis perawan, penuh cinta lagi sebaya umurnya.” (Al-Waqi’ah 56:35-37)</ref> dan digambarkan payudara mereka padat dan fisik mereka seperti gadis remaja."(Bagi penghuni surga para bidadari) remaja yang sebaya." (An-Naba' 78:33)

Memiliki kulit putih, bening, bersih dan lembut yang sempurna, diibaratkan seperti telur yang tersimpan dengan baik, dan ibaratkan pula para huur itu seperti permata yakut dan mutiara.

 Catatan 

 zawajnahoom: pair them, marry them. Note zawj (lit., "a pair" or, according to the context, "one of a pair") applies to either of the two sexes, a man to a woman and a woman to a man, as does the transitive verb zawaja, "he paired" or "joined", i.e., one person with another
 qasirat at-tarf: Lit., "such as restrain their gaze", i.e., are of modest bearing and have eyes only for their mates (Tafsir Razi). This phrase applies to both genders.
 min anfusikum azwajan, Lit. "from among yourselves mates (spouses, one of the pair)"
 Lit., waalmuminoona (male believers) waalmuminatu (female believers)
 Lit., min (from) thakarin (male) aw (or) ontha (female)
 In a version of this hadith: waa li kul-li wa ahidin minhoom zawjataani = and to every single (everyone) among them zawjataani. The expression kulli wa hadin-each one (everyone) includes both males and females. Note: the feminine ending -at(un) (feminine ta-marbuta, -ah in modern Arabic language) is also added to distinguish a person in an exemplary manner as in allamun = scholar, allamatun (-ah) = distinguished scholar [not "female scholar"], or as in rawin = narrator, rawiyatun(-ah) = narrator(of poems) [not "female narrator"]. These forms ending in -at(un) (modern -ah), as they designate the individual, are treated as masculines. [zawjatan: dual connotation (Classical Arabic Idiom, which can be used to refer to two different things calling them by the same name: two paired persons or things can be expressed by the dual of one of them (e.g. abawaani [dual of aba (father)] = parents (father and mother, not "two fathers"; qamarani [dual of qamar (moon)] = sun and moon (not "two moons"); usage in "Qur'an in Surah Al-Furqan(25):53" bahrayn [dual of bahr (sea)] = sea "salty and bitter" and river "sweet and thirst-allaying" (not "two seas"); sometimes the word with the female gender is chosen to make the dual form, such as in the expression "the two Marwas", referring to the two hills of As-Safa and Al-Marwa'' (not "two hills, each called Al-Marwa") in Mecca;Abbas Hassan, An-nahw al-wafi, I, 118–19) ( (i.e. Husband - zawj and wife -zawjah can be referred as zawjatan in the dual form)]Dr. Muhammad Salim al-Awwa, Secretary General of the World Union of the Muslim Ulemas, "Female Circumcision Neither a Sunna, nor a Sign of Respect"(Al Alazhar, Cairo)'',  
 Or husband -zawj and wife -zawjah can be referred as zawjatan in the dual form Houris: inferred from Sahih Muslim, hadith 6795 through another chain of narration
