Once, we had a discussion with one of our professors about how people’s behavior and actions can be changed. He explained that fear and fascination are the two main driving forces behind a person’s change in behavior. During the meeting, he suddenly asked a question that I found quite strange, especially because some boys were also present with us. The question was, “Why has Allah mentioned seventy hoor (maidens) for believing men in Jannah?”
At that moment, my sense of humor was triggered, and I whispered to my friend, “This question should be answered by the guys — why should we know this? We’re not the ones getting the hoors!” Everyone responded by saying that it’s a matter of fascination. However, that question stayed in my mind. Later, I found its answer in Surah Al-Insaan (Surah Ad-Dahr).
The first fascination mentioned in that Surah is the desire to be acknowledged and remembered (mazkoor). People naturally want to be recognized for their efforts and accomplishments. I have often heard people complain that they have done so much good for others, yet those people neither appreciate them nor become grateful for their kindness.
However, in this Surah, Allah describes the quality of the people of Jannah — that they feed others and do good for them, and when others thank them, they respond by saying:
“Innamā nuṭ‘imukum li-wajhi Allāh, lā nurīdu minkum jazā’an wa lā shukūrā.”
(We feed you only for the sake of Allah; we desire neither reward nor thanks from you.)
They do good purely for the sake of Allah, seeking nothing in return except His pleasure and the honor of facing Him. Later in the Surah, Allah mentions that when the people of Jannah meet Him, He will offer them a pure drink — “Sharāban Ṭahūrā.” At that moment, Allah Himself will acknowledge their efforts, saying:
“Inna hādhā kāna lakum jazā’an wa kāna sa‘yukum mashkūrā.”
(Indeed, this is your reward, and your efforts have been appreciated.
Here’s your paragraph with grammatical corrections and smoother flow while keeping your original meaning:
---
In this Surah, Allah mentions a vast kingdom (mulkan kabīrā), outdoor gatherings under large, shady trees with a pleasant and moderate temperature, and the people of Jannah wearing garments of fine silk (sundus and istabraq) and adorned with silver bracelets. Servants will be presenting drinks to them, and Allah specifically describes these servants as young boys moving around joyfully, spreading happiness among the people of Jannah.
You see, all of these are the fascinations of human beings. So we can say that Jannah is the epitome of human desires — a place where every pure wish is fulfilled in its most perfect form. How does one attain it? When a person suppresses their evil or forbidden desires in this world for the sake of Allah, Allah rewards them by granting those same desires in the best and most beautiful way in Jannah.
It serves as an incentive for believers: when someone strongly desires something but restrains themselves, remembering that if they leave it for Allah’s sake, He will give them far better in the Hereafter.
Returning to the earlier point — beautiful women are one of the natural fascinations for men. If they lower their gaze and refrain from engaging in unlawful relationships, Allah gives them the glad tidings of seventy hoor — pure, beautiful companions in Jannah.
So, the moral of the story is: every desire you control, every sin you avoid, and every struggle you endure for the sake of Allah will be rewarded — beautifully, eternally, and perfectly.
