2. Detailed Meaning of Khaira

The word Khaira in its most basic meaning is the feminine form of Khair, which means “good”, “wholesome”, among many other meanings.

However, Khaira also has a meaning specific to women, and it is this meaning that is used in the Quran. According to Khalid bin Janabah, a respected early scholar of the Arabic language, it refers to a woman who:

comes from a good and honorable lineage, who has a beautiful face, whose behavior is beautiful, who has a lot of wealth, and who is fertile.

The word Khaira (in plural form) is used in description of the Huris of Paradise in verse 70 of Surat ar-Rahman:

In those gardens there are [Huris who are] good and beautiful. {55:70}
