HOURI

HOURI Let Grace of the Lord be your Mecca and becoming the dust of the feet be your fast. Let the practice of Pir\’s (Guru\’s) instruction as required be your Bhista (Paradise). The devotion of the Lord-God in suitable cloister by your Hourt, light and fragrance. (Maru M. 5, p. 1083) In Muslim belief any of the nymphs of Paradise is a Houri. When the faithful enters the heaven, he is welcomed by a houri. Guru Arjan Dev, in the above reference has rejected the idea of the enjoyment of a houri by a faithful Muslim.
