حُورٌ مَّقْصُورَاتٌ فِي الْخِيَامِ
55:72 “Pure and chaste houris confined to (their goodly) pavilions” are those servants of Allâh that He has chosen for Himself and confined into pavilions so that no ordinary gaze shall fall on them. They did not make themselves noticeable with miracles (- karamât). People do not point at them and take notice of them because of their piety. They are hidden guardians of the universe. Their hidden holiness continues in the Hereafter. Abû Umâma transmitted the following Hadîth Qudsî: “Among the most intimate of Me of My saints are the believers of humble means who find their pleasure in Prayer, worshipping their Lord in the most beautiful way secretly and openly. These saints are hidden among the people. They are not always pointed out, their death comes swiftly and their mourners are few”.
