Dream - When you hear the word angel, what do you imagine, my friend? Yes, angels are synonymous with their beautiful appearance. Even in the Quran, it is mentioned that in the future paradise, people will meet beautiful and elegant angels.

This is stated in Surah Ar-Rahman verse 70:

ظَٰهِرَةٌ مِّنَ الْجَنَّةِ حَسَنَةٌ حِسَانٌ

Meaning: "In the gardens of paradise, there are good and beautiful angels." (QS.Ar-Rahman: 70)

In the above verse, the word khairaatun is the plural form of the word khairatun which comes from the word khayyiratun like the words sayyidatun and layyinatun. Hisan itself is the plural form of the word hasanatun. Which means angels who have beautiful faces and good morals.

So, what is the actual appearance of the beauty of the angels in paradise? Here are some descriptions of the angels in paradise as explained in the Quran as summarized by Dream through various sources.

Description of Heavenly Angels According to the Quran

Pure Women

Heavenly angels are pure women. They are different from women in general. They do not experience menstruation, postpartum bleeding, urination, defecation, spitting, sneezing, and other impurities from their bodies.

Not only that, heavenly angels also have very good and pure morals. They do not speak obscenities, their love is truly pure for their partners, and even their clothes are always clean from impurities.

This is explained in Surah Al-Baqarah verse 25:

"And give good tidings to those who believe and do righteous deeds that they will have gardens [in Paradise] beneath which rivers flow. Whenever they are provided with a provision of fruit therefrom, they will say, "This is what we were provided with before." And it is given to them in likeness. And they will have therein purified spouses, and they will abide therein." (QS. Al-Baqarah: 25)

Beautiful Inside and Out

Heavenly angels are not only beautiful on the outside, but also on the inside. This is explained in Surah Ar-Rahman verse 70

Enclosed in Houses

A heavenly angel is not a woman who can freely travel. They have white and clean skin, and they prepare themselves for their husbands. They only walk in the gardens and parks of paradise. As explained in Surah Ar-Rahman verse 72:

"Full-breasted companions confined to pavilions." (QS.Ar-Rahman: 72)

Lowering Their Gaze

The gaze of a heavenly angel is only focused on her husband. She will never look at other men besides her husband. She also does not expose her aura to other men. As explained in Surah Ar-Rahman verses 56-58

"In them are women limiting [their] glances, untouched before them by man or jinni. So which of the favors of your Lord would you deny? As if they were rubies and coral." (QS.Ar-Rahman: 56-58)

Having a Beautiful and Same-Age Body

In the Quran, it is described that heavenly angels have beautiful bodies and the same age, which is 33 years old. They are created by Allah SWT in a perpetual state of virginity and never aging. As explained in Surah An-Naba verses 31-33:

"Indeed, the righteous will be in a secure place, within gardens and springs, wearing [garments of] fine silk and brocade, facing each other. Thus. And We will marry them to fair women with large, [beautiful] eyes." (QS.An-Naba: 31-33)

Never Before Seen

In the Quran, it is explained that heavenly angels are women who are created directly and have never existed before. Even their form and nature are perfect. This is explained in Surah Al-Waqiah verses 35-37:

"We created them (the angels) perfectly, and We made them virgins, full of love, of equal age." (QS.Al-Waqiah: 35-37)

Perfect Beauty and Shining Eyes

Heavenly angels are also described as having perfect beauty and shining eyes. This is conveyed in Surah Ad-Dukhan verses 51-54:

"Indeed, the righteous will be in a secure place, within gardens and springs, wearing [garments of] fine silk and brocade, facing each other. Thus. And We will marry them to fair women with beautiful eyes." (QS.Ad-Dukhan: 51-54)

Never Been Touched

A heavenly angel is someone who has never been touched by anyone and has never been married to anyone. As explained in Surah Ar-Rahman verse 56:

"In them are women limiting [their] glances, untouched before them by man or jinni." (QS.Ar-Rahman: 56)

Preserving Their Honor

Heavenly angels highly value their honor. They always guard their eyes. Where the eyes of heavenly angels are likened to hidden pearls, beautiful, wide, and shining. As explained in Surah As-Saffat verses 48-49:

"And with them will be women limiting [their] glances, with large, [beautiful] eyes, as if they were [delicate] eggs, well-protected." (QS.As-Saffat: 48-49)
