"In the end of time there will come a people young in years, foolish in minds, reciting the Qur'an which will not go beyond their throats, uttering sayings from the best of creatures, going through the religion as an arrow goes through the target."
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The first batch (of people) who will enter Paradise will be (glittering) like the full
moon, and the batch next to them will be (glittering) like the most brilliant star in the sky. Their hearts
will be as if the heart of a single man, for they will have neither enmity nor jealousy amongst
themselves; everyone will have two wives from the houris, (who will be so beautiful, pure and
transparent that) the marrow of the bones of their legs will be seen through the bones and the flesh."
"The people of Paradise are without body hair, Murd, with Kuhl(on their eyelids), their youth does not come to an end, and their clothes do not wear out."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The first group of people who will enter Paradise, will be glittering like the full
moon and those who will follow them, will glitter like the most brilliant star in the sky. They will not
urinate, relieve nature, spit, or have any nasal secretions. Their combs will be of gold, and their sweat
will smell like musk. The aloes-wood will be used in their centers. Their wives will be houris. All of
them will look alike and will resemble their father Adam (in stature), sixty cubits tall."
In Paradise there is a street to which they would come every Friday. The north wind will blow and would scatter fragrance on their faces and on their clothes and would add to their beauty and loveliness, and then they would go back to their family after having an added lustre to their beauty and loveliness, and their family would say to them: By Allah, you have been increased in beauty and loveliness after leaving us, and they would say: By Allah, you have also increased in beauty and loveliness after us.
