Hey Papa, I notice you asked a question recently and said"Please do not answer this with idiotic answers." So why aren't you following your same advice when it comes to answering someone else's question? LOL wink wink wink

Whatever, 70, 72, 102, the number is not important. I was under the impression that the quote was from the Qu'ran. If not then where is it from. I would like to see it in print because the truth is after reading about the Muslim religion recently and knowing that the Quaran very specifically forbids suicide, I find the 72 virgin quote hard to believe.

This is where the 70 virgins came from , how ever it's 72 virgins. and it's not in the Quaran.

In August, 2001, the American television channel CBS aired an interview with a Hamas activist Muhammad Abu Wardeh, who recruited terrorists for suicide bombings in Israel. Abu Wardeh was quoted as saying: "I described to him how God would compensate the martyr for sacrificing his life for his land. If you become a martyr, God will give you 70 virgins, 70 wives and everlasting happiness." Wardeh was in fact shortchanging his recruits since the rewards in Paradise for martyrs was 72 virgins.
Two points need to be noted. First, there is no mention anywhere in the Koran of the actual number of virgins available in paradise, and second, the dark-eyed damsels are available for all Muslims, not just martyrs. It is in the Islamic Traditions that we find the 72 virgins in heaven specified: in a Hadith (Islamic Tradition) collected by Al-Tirmidhi (died 892 CE [common era*]) in the Book of Sunan (volume IV, chapters on The Features of Paradise as described by the Messenger of Allah [Prophet Muhammad], chapter 21, About the Smallest Reward for the People of Paradise, (Hadith 2687). The same hadith is also quoted by Ibn Kathir (died 1373 CE ) in his Koranic commentary (Tafsir) of Surah Al-Rahman (55), verse 72: "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-Jabiyyah [a Damascus suburb] to Sana'a [Yemen]'."

The exact quote of 70 or even 72 virgins are not in their book. However, if you're looking for the reference to virgins awaiting those muslims who supposedly enter paradise, it's probably in surah 2:25.

I think it's 72 virgins, and I don't believe it's in the Qur'ran.
