where does the belief that Muslim terrorist martyrs will have 70 virgins awaiting them in heaven come from?

Answer 1

It is mentioned in the Qur'an. Actually, the number is 72.

Answer 2

Its all the media and racist people that spread false information about Islam.

It does not refer to a 'Terrorist' that he kill inoocent people and he gets Heaven. First lets see what does the Quran have to say about killing innocent people.

The Quran States:
"If anyone kills a human being (whether Muslim or Non-Muslim) without any justified reason (murder or for creating mischief, corruption in the land) is like he has killed the entire humanity".

SO here we find, that killing innocent people is a sin according to Quran. Therefore there is no GROUND for Terrorism in Islam.

Then what about those who claim otherwise?

Dont blame Islam for any mis-interpretation. The problem of terrorism does not lie within Islam. It is a global problem which is breeding solely due to President Bush's negative policies.

Answer 3

The actual number of virgins, 72, isn't found in the Koran itself but in the Hadith, which is Islamic writing ABOUT the Koran - Islamic tradition if you will. It says that

"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]."


So apparently it isn't just suicide bombers that get virgins.

Answer 4

DUH,
Its in the 70 virgins awaiting you manual. Chapter 5, page 14, paragraph 2.

Answer 5

i could desire to be certainly one of sherif e's "motherfuckers". i did no longer think of such dishonourable scoffs have been permissable under Islam, yet there you have it. it rather is not proper what number virgins are promised to those that butcher and kill innocents by potential of blowing themselves up in public places. that's a delusion. Suicide bombers do no longer do something in the call of Allah. they are merely murderers, end of. There are not any virgins waiting for them and that they do no longer gain Martyrdom for committing atrocities, and that i might defy any Muslim who claimed in any different case because of the fact they may be an affront to their very own faith.

Answer 6

7-11 convenience stores,
they just dropped the one behind the ten and came up with 10 so 7 times 10 is 70, so there you have it.
