Rasulullah (Sallallaahu Alayhi Wasallam) said, ‘Jannah is an exposition of
Allah’s mercy.’ (Mishkaat)
The purpose of Jannat is to reward sincere servants of Allah. Among the
rewards of Allah in Jannah, one will be the Hoors. They will be a means of
comfort and peace to the dwellers of Jannah. For that, they will have to be
intelligent as well as considerate. Comfort and peace cannot be attained
through a woman who is ‘a mindless robbot’. Imagine being with a beautiful
woman but insane. No person in a sound state of mind will even approach her.
How can that be expected of the Hoors of Jannah, being the queens created by
Allah to grant comfort to His sincere servants.
and Allah Ta’ala Knows Best
