Tarjumatul Quran - Surahs al-Rahman [The Gracious]: 70 - al-Waqiah [The Happening]: 33

Description

Verse 71: خَيْرَاتٌ حِسَانٌ ['chaste and fair'] means untouched damsels.  

Verse 73: مَّقْصُورَاتٌ ['well-guarded pavilions'] means that they would be kept respectfully in palaces.   خِيَامِ means houses that have not been constructed from bricks and stones and this image applies to Paradise.  This translation eradicates the idea of a physical Paradise that arises.*  

Surah al-Waqiah contains Prophecies about the great wars of the future when world wars would take place that would result in the great being made small and the small being made great.  The Earth would be turned and the mountains would be shattered to smithereens.  The mountains does not just mean the apparent mountains but also means the great mountain-like nations.

Verse 9, 11, 12:  The grandeur of the أَصْحَابُ الْمَيْمَنَةِ ['people of the right'] and سَّابِقُونَ ['the foremost'] and قَرَّبُ ['the near'] is captured where boy graced with eternal youth would be appointed to quench the thirst of the dwellers of Paradise with spiritual waters that would cause no hangover nor will they feel dizzy.
