Wow what trash. Muslims and Islam are defaming women. They have no time for women. The bible warns against whoremongers, will those women then go to the muslim hell, wow wonder if that is not just being a muslim. There is only ONE heaven and ONE hell and that heaven belongs to God the Father. Wow what absurd sick mentally deprived crap do they sell to their people to get them to fight. Sick. mohammed is probably there with those muslim virgins. I can hear the thundering voice of God saying to them: depart from me you soul of iniquity, I never knew thee.

The concept of heaven in Islam is similar to that found in Judaism and Christianity. The Qur'an contains many references to an afterlife in Eden for those who do good deeds. Heaven itself is commonly described in the Qu'ran in verse 35 of Surah Al-Ra’d: "The parable of the Garden which the righteous are promised! Beneath it flow rivers. Perpetual is the fruits thereof and the shade therein. Such is the End of the Righteous; and the end of the unbelievers is the Fire, wherein a person dwells forever." Since Islam rejects the concept of original sin, Muslims believe that all human beings are born pure and will naturally turn to God, but it is their environment which influences them to choose ungodly ways of life. In Islam, therefore, a child who dies automatically goes to heaven, regardless of the religion of his or her parents. The highest level of heaven is Firdaws (ÙردÙس), which is where the prophets, the martyrs and the most truthful and pious people will dwell.

Yes u right , any person who die in jihad (fighting in the name of Allah but within the rules writen in the Quran, e.g not killing kids, women, elders not even a tree...) will enter paradise and 7 virgins will await for him but he can always choose his wife in earth. But not only that, any person female or male who belive in Allah and the last prophete mohamed (apart from many other things) and and do good deeds plus follow the quran will enter paradise.
When women go to paradise there 're lot of good things awaiting for them as well.
I hope these information will be usefull.

in Quran...it was never mentioned about 7 virgins.
nope...in my opinion...I am not interested to have 7 virgins waiting for me when I die in a jihad...
and a TRUE jihad didnt need me to die.
I am doing a JIHAD now.
by answering you...to clear your misguided conscience.
ps: bring me any Quranic verse or hadith relating to your topic.

Firstly many refer to Jihad, incorrectly, as “Holy War”. Jihad stems from the word “Jahada” which means exhausting, so a man is said to have “Jihad al-nafs” when he has exhausted his utmost effort. So Jihad is translated as struggle, it refers primarily to a person’s inner struggle to become righteous and to submit of his or her life to Allah.
However each and every human being in this world is not in favour of maintaining peace and harmony. There are many, who would disrupt it for their own vested interests. Sometimes force has to be used to maintain peace. It is precisely for this reason that we have the police who use force against the criminal and anti-social elements to maintain peace in the country. Islam promotes peace. At the same time, Islam exhorts it followers to fight where there is oppression. The fight against oppression may, at times, require the use of force. In Islam force can only be used to promote peace and justice.
It is not only the Shaheed (those that die in the way of Islam) that have Virgins in heaven, however virgin is mistranslated the word is Hoor:
1. Hoor mentioned in the Qur’an
The word hoor occurs in the Qur’an in no less than four different places:
(1) In Surah Dukhan chapter 44, verse 54
"Moreover, We shall join them to companions
With beautiful, big and lustrous eyes."
[Al-Qur’an 44:54]
(2) In Surah Al-Tur chapter 52 verse 20
"...And We shall join them to companions, with beautiful,
big and lustrous eyes."
[Al-Qur’an 52:20]
(3) In Surah Rahman chapter 55 verse 72
"Companions restrained (as to their glances), in goodly pavilions."
[Al-Qur’an 55:72]
(4) In Surah Al-Waqiah chapter 56 verse 22
"And (there will be) companions with beautiful, big and lustrous eyes."
[Al-Qur’an 56:22]
2. Hoor Translated as Beautiful Maidens
Many translators of the Qur’an have translated the word hoor as ‘beautiful maidens’ especially in the Urdu translations. If hoor means ‘beautiful maidens’ or girls, then they are meant only for the men. Hence, what will the women get if they enter Paradise?
3. Meaning of Hoor
The word hoor is actually the plural of ahwar (applicable to man) and of haura (applicable to woman) and signifies a person having eyes characterized by hauar a special quality bestowed upon a good soul, male or female in paradise and it denotes the intense whiteness of the white part of the spiritual eye.
The Qur’an describes in several other verses that in paradise you will have azwaj which mean a pair or spouse or companion which means you will have spouses or companions pure and holy (mutaharratun means pure, holy).
"But give glad tidings to those who believe and work righteousness, that their portion is gardens, beneath which rivers flow. Every time they are fed with fruits therefrom, they say: "Why, this is what we were fed with before", for they are given things in similitude; and they have therein companions pure (and holy); and they abide therein (forever)".
[Al-Qur’an 2:25]
"But those who believe and do deeds of righteousness, We shall soon admit to Gardens, with rivers flowing beneath – their eternal home; therein shall they have companions pure and holy: we shall admit them to shades, cool and ever deepening". [Al-Qur’an 4:57]
Therefore the word hoor has no specific gender. Mohammad Asad has translated the word hoor as spouse and Abdullah Yusuf Ali as companion. Therefore according to some scholars a man in paradise will have a hoor that is a beautiful maiden with beautiful big and lustrous eyes and a woman in paradise will get a man with beautiful big and lustrous eyes.
4. Women will get something exceptional in Paradise
Many scholars say that in context, the word hoor used in the Qur’an refers only to ladies since gents are addressed. A reply that would be accepted by all types of people would rather be the answer given in the Hadith when a similar question was posed that if a man gets a hoor, a beautiful Maiden in Paradise, then what will the women get? The reply was that the women will get that which the heart has not desired for, the ear hasn’t heard off and the eye hasn’t seen, indicating that even the women will get something exceptional in Paradise.

There is no "Muslim" heaven, there is just one Heaven and to get into it, you MUST accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, and then take up your cross and follow Him.
