Say a muslim man is in paradise, getting ready to fornicate with the first virgin. After that first time, she won't be a virgin anymore. So once he's had sex with all the 70 or 72 or whatever, does he get 72 more? The first lot won't be virgins anymore. What's the story then, can someone please clarify this troubling dilemma?
Also, all those virgins must be dead because they are in paradise. Will muslim men have to have sex with dead virgins?
These are serious questions, and need serious answers. I want someone to explain these issues.

DBZnut - I know what you mean, it's not to be taken literally. So are we to choose which parts of the koran to take literally, and which not to take literally?

Hi friend !!
Nice question put up by you.
Actually all the things which will be in heaven is like we cant even imagine. God says in His Holy book that there is such kind of blessings in Heaven of which we have never think of. Now if you are talking about virgin girls, so those are also available in this world. One is not supposed to go to paradise for that sake.
Let us suppose that a person is very very very rich having billions of dollars with him. As he is having lots of money with him, he is buying a virgin girl every day and doing sex with that girl. This is well enough possible. Then if doing sex is the aim of going to Paradise then the rich man has achieved taste of heaven here in this world.
Rather from the concept of Heaven, it is clearly seen that it is the place Where we will get all those things which are completely different than of this world. In other word, those will be similar to this world but much much much better.
And from my concept, Heaven is a concept which will be given to people who has passed their life on the concept given by their Lord, the great.
Its for sure that God has made some better arrangement than this world for the people who have succeded their life on the guidelines.
Hope this will help you.

So, are we to assume that terrorists commit these acts for the sake of sex? If that was the underlying issue then can't they loosen their cultural beliefs a little, let their women take off their veils and maybe even visit paradise, like any tropical paradise with babes galore. They're definitely being misled because after they do what they do with the so called "virgins" then they're probably taken to the depths of hell for eternity. Smart move dumb asses. Geeez.

Some critics say that Islam promises the good Muslims a paradise in which they will enjoy everything they may desire. These critics think that Islam out-promises Christianity, and therefore, it is attracting people through its promises.
A promise is attractive only if it comes from a reliable source. If a reputable company offers an individual a well-paying job, he is likely to accept the position. On the other hand, if the same individual is offered a position by an unreliable or a bankrupt firm, he is expected to refuse the offer because he will not have any confidence in the firm's financial reliability.
Similarly, I do not think that a convert would be willing to perform so many duties and renounce so many desirable things for the sake of promises if he does not have the confidence in Islam. No promise is attractive if it is made by an unreliable source. Attractiveness of a promise is a result of confidence. Faith in Islam, therefore, precedes the attractiveness of its promise, not vice versa.

I'm more interested in whether a muslim woman who dies for her religion gets the same deal ... 72 virgins. Let's face it, it wouldn't be much fun for her with 72 inexperienced men who don't last more than 10 seconds!

Its NOT in the quraan, its something western media use to stir up people like you, when in reality it is not part of Islam. How many times .... Muslims have many rewards if they reach jannah, especially the martyrs, the greatest of which is to be near to Allah azza wa jell. The 72 virgins is just misunderstanding or misnterpretation by non Muslims

Clearly, what the terrorists, who commit murder,
expect to receive for it is utter rubbish.
You don't have to be a genius to work it out.
"Anyone who deliberately takes the life of an innocent by violence will never see paradise, let alone experience it."
What they will taste is eternal damnation in the fires of hell.
What they describe as those who are not innocent, i.e. enemies of Islam, they are NOT entitled to judge.
There is only one Judge.
He does not appear in the form of murderers and is more than capable of speaking for Himself.
I know it may seem a little strange but it is, for some, questionable as to which is more irritating, the fact that these
murderers are prepared to kill their fellow countrymen
or the fact that they are basically putting words in the
mouth of God Himself saying who is and who isn't innocent.
As far as the virgins are concerned, they are otherwise engaged with those who deserve them.
I think the more important issues are covered here, rather than trivialising or diminishing them by bringing this to a spiritual level.
I have my beliefs but I am 100% behind those who despise and reject terrorism.

Lets face it any woman that dies a virgin will either be young and cut off in her prime or died a virgin because she was ugly and no one wanted her. Her award for keeping her chastity, she gets to lose it!
Like all religion this is just madness, maybe in a few thousand years Harry Potter will be a God and will be worshipped by a bunch of numb nuts who take his books to be the truth.

72 Doesn't mean 72 it means many.
It's like me telling you. I've told you a 100 times I don't want to.
It doesn't mean a 100 times, it just means many times.
The vergins of heaven are not dead because they are not from the sons of adam and eve.
god created them in heaven.
Virgins are not for men only,
women get virgin men too.

This is a false teaching of islam, In heaven we are not having sex, & in hell they won't have time for sex due to the torment they are in,
