Last updated: Apr 8, 2026

highlighted words differ between verses

56:17 · Al-Waaqia · Juz 27

يَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ وِلْدَٰنٌ مُّخَلَّدُونَ

They will be waited on by eternal youths

52:24 · At-Tur · Juz 27

وَيَطُوفُ عَلَيْهِمْ غِلْمَانٌ لَّهُمْ كَأَنَّهُمْ لُؤْلُؤٌ مَّكْنُونٌ

And they will be waited on by their youthful servants like spotless pearls.

Both describe immortal youths serving in Paradise but 52:24 adds the simile 'ka'annahum lu'lu'un maknun' (like preserved pearls) while 56:17 describes them without this simile.
