Question

An Islamic preacher said that if a worldly wife is compared to a hoor then it is as if she is the light of a candle compared to the light of the sun. What does this mean? Are hoors more beautiful and superior to human wives? Or are human wives superior and beautiful than hoors?

Answer

The human wives in Jannah will be far more beautiful than the hoors.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
