Abstract

The visualization of the houris in the Qur’an is described as hur ‘in, women with beautiful eyes and clear skin like hidden pearls. They are portrayed as shy, loyal, and eternally youthful. This imagery reflects the social construction of gender that influences classical interpretations, particularly in Tafsir Ath-Thabari. This study analyzes Ath-Thabari’s interpretation of the concept of houris in paradise and re-examines it through the lens of Judith Butler’s theory of gender as a social construct. Butler asserts that gender is not a fixed biological category but a social construct shaped by culture, language, and discourse. The interpretation of houris is not merely textual but also shaped by the patriarchal gender norms prevalent at the time the interpretation was formulated. This research employs a literature review method with a descriptive and linguistic analysis approach to the Qur’anic verses and Ath-Thabari’s exegesis. The findings reveal that Ath-Thabari interprets the houris literally, emphasizing their physical and sensual attributes as a form of pleasure for faithful men. The depiction of houris with large, beautiful eyes, ideal body shapes, and pure white skin reflects the classical Arab standards of beauty. From Butler’s perspective, such interpretations are cultural constructions that reproduce gender hierarchies, rather than representing absolute realities.

Abstract

The aim of this research was to analyze the meaning of the story thematically and to identify its relevance for contemporary society. This study employed the thematic interpretation method ( tafsir maudhu'i ) with a library research approach, focusing on three main chapters: QS. Al- A'raf : 73–79, QS. An-Naml: 45–53, and QS. Al-Qamar: 23–32. The findings revealed that from a socio-historical perspective, the material advancement of the Thamud civilization was not accompanied by moral maturity, leading to greed, social injustice, and environmental exploitation. From a phenomenological perspective, their rejection was understood as a form of closed consciousness, arrogance, and spiritual alienation from monotheism. Ibn Kathir's commentary strengthens this analysis by providing detailed reports and chronology that confirms the pattern of destruction among nations that rejects the truth. The novelty of this study lay in synthesizing classical exegesis with thematic and multidisciplinary approaches to provide a more comprehensive understanding. Its implications are relevant to contemporary issues such as environmental degradation, social inequality, and the reinforcement of transcendental values as the foundation of moral and social policies.
