Some Questions regarding 72 Virgins?
by Nagabushanam on May 29, 2008 12:59 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

Martin Bodek has 72 questions on how this whole virgin thing works. Here are the top 10:

1) What if the bomber wants girls with more experience?
2) What if one virgin is no good in bed? Does she get replaced or is he stuck with 71?
3) If he's gay, does he get male virgins?
4) What if he's celibate? What does he get?
5) What if he hasn't reached puberty yet? Does he get 72 Xboxes till he comes of age?
6) If he's bi, does he get 36 of each?
7) If he blows himself up while building the bomb, does he still get credit?
8) What do you call a relationship with 72 women, a menage-a-soixante-deux?
9) Are they like 72 wives or 1 wife and 71 concubines?
10) What if he's ugly or smells bad and the virgins don't want anything to do with him?

the specific Hadith in which the number of virgins is specified is Hadith Al-Tirmidhi in the Book of Sunah (volume IV, chapters on The Features of Paradise as described by the Messenger of Allah, chapter 21, About the Smallest Reward for the People of Paradise. The same hadith is also quoted by Ibn Kathir in his Koranic commentary (Tafsir) of Surah Al-Rahman:
"The Prophet Muhammad was heard saying:'The smallest reward for the people of paradise is an abode where there are 80,000 servants and 72 wives, over which stands a dome decorated with pearls, aquamarine, and ruby, as wide as the distance from Al-Jabiyah [a Damascus suburb] to Sana'a [Yemen]."

Taking a few passages from the Quran out of proper historical and textual context will not give a proper understanding of the religious scripture.....

Those hadith clearly mentioned those who fights for the cause of Allah... But its not linked to todays terrorism....

When you guys comout from ignorant, darkness just want to bast without knowing the clear meaning of it.....

who in this world wants to know about that qurann. we judge u r religion by what u people are doing. You people are killing innocents for no reason . Thta is a mistake and your muhmood promises 72 virgins for killing these innocents.

My suggestion to all Indian Muslims; u were once hindhus and Your forefathers were murdered by these bloody muslims and how far its right to follow their religiona nd fight agianst your own hindhu brothers who faught to save your wifes from being raped by those barbaric muslim rulers???/


think fellows think and kick out Islam from India.

Yes..NO WHERE IN THE ISLAMICS BOOKS THE NUMBER IS MENTIONED. There is a typo in the book you refer to, it is just on 72 year old virgin and not 72 virgins

firstly, about Krishna :
He had legally married Rukmini, Satyabhama ... he did not take sex slaves like Muhammed

Yes, he loved Radha and there love was not requited, but still they are adored as a symbol of love!

The so called story of him having 16000 wives is misinterpreted ... they were ladies who dedicated their lives to him like nuns , no physical marriage ...
so please dont abuse without knowing facts
