Commentary 76:19 Wildânوِلْدَانٌ has the meaning of “Their own sons” in the sense of aulâd-u-hum أولادهمas clarified by Shaukâni and Baidzawî. The verse is a continuation…
وَيَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ وِلْدَانٌ مُّخَلَّدُونَ إِذَا رَأَيْتَهُمْ حَسِبْتَهُمْ لُؤْلُؤًا مَّنثُورًا
76:19 Wildânوِلْدَانٌ has the meaning of “Their own sons” in the sense of aulâd-u-hum أولادهمas clarified by Shaukâni and Baidzawî. The verse is a continuation of what has been said in verse 56:21, “We shall unite with those who believe with their children who follow them in Faith”. Immortal youths وِلْدَانٌ مُّخَلَّدُونَ are the children of the dwellers of Paradise who were born to them in their earthly life and who will join them in Paradise. The subject matter is also mentioned in the verse 52:21-24. Some raise the objection that the Qur’ân promises young maids to the men, so what about the women? The answer is provided in verses 56:35-38 where we are told that Allâh will raise the pious women as a special new creation, pure and undefiled, loving ones, suiting the ages of their spouses. Thus, the ordinary men and women after their death and their entry into Paradise will turn into beautiful, pure new creations.
