The fantasies of Maulana Tariq Jamil

[Pak Daily Times] "Mesmerised by their beauty, you can spend years just looking at them." By blending the Koran, hadith and personal fantasy, this is how Maulana Tariq Jamil, a well-respected religious scholar, explained the charm of hoors (virgins) of paradise to his audience. "Unlike anything on earth that loses attraction over time, their beauty will grow and multiply exponentially every moment," he added, sitting high on the pulpit in a mosque, exalted, a smile running across his face, his eyes gleaming.

To further allure his listeners, he tells them that, because of their ever-lasting and ever-growing appeal, the inhabitants of paradise would not have to worry a bit about boredom with the virgins, a typically misogynistic remark through which Learned Elders of Islam like him discredit and dishonor women without even realising it. Often, in their lectures, holy mans, in an attempt to glorify the role of females as the defenders of faith, belittle them by reducing their responsibilities to that of objects of pleasure. Continuing with his thought, he elaborates that most couples, after a while, cannot even look at each other for a few minutes without being sceptical about one another's appearances, a callous remark, as if he holds some sort of authority on intimate and romantic relationships.

By the end of his sermon, somehow, he realises that he needs to address the concerns of his female followers who might be getting wary. So, he cheers them up. "Women need not be worried either as their beauty would also be enhanced, once they entered paradise as hoors," he says, "And they will not have to be concerned about their mundane, unhygienic and unclean requisites like urinating and moving bowels." On social media, this video wass added last week, although the exact date cannot be verified, but it seems to be fairly recent. To be exact, it appears on the following day of a terrorist attack in an imambargah that killed three people in Islamabad, a week after the Beautiful Downtown Peshawar
