    Theyre called “hoor al-ayn” and descriptions of them are in the primary islamic religious literature (in both the quran and hadith). Googling that will bring up plenty (youtube comments under videos on it especially are something else)

    Here’s some relevant passages:

    Indeed, We have produced the women of Paradise in a [new] creation. And made them virgins, Devoted [to their husbands] and of equal age. (56:35-37, being chapter:verse)

    Fair ones reserved in pavilions - (55:72)

    Indeed, for the righteous is attainment - Gardens and grapevines And full-breasted [companions] of equal age (78:32-33)

    Not sure about the specific number (the trope is 72, not 17) but the comic is accurate.
