Adding to the domestic luxury of the male-centric Islamic Paradise is the inclusion of immortal, pearl-like youths (Wildan or Ghilman) whose sole purpose is to circulate and wait upon the inhabitants.
Surah 56:17:
There will circulate among them immortal boys.Surah 76:19:
And there will circulate among them [servant] boys made eternal. When you see them, you would think them [as beautiful as] scattered pearls.Surah 52:24:
And there will circulate among them [servant] youths for them, as if they were hidden pearls.
The Household of Ultimate Luxury:
The Quran paints a picture of elite earthly status where believing men are served hand and foot by eternal attendants described as scattered or hidden pearls.
Serving the Inhabitants:
Authoritative and traditional exegesis confirms that these immortal youths specifically wait upon the male masters of Paradise.
The Spiritual Void:
This imagery underscores a paradise constructed around class, servitude, and physical indulgence—a stark departure from the biblical reality where all believers are co-heirs standing equally before the throne of God.
The presence of immortal servants waiting upon men in Paradise cements the reality that Islamic eschatology mirrors a glorified earthly household of 7th-century patriarchal luxury rather than a transcendent spiritual communion with the Creator.
