What's the 72 virgins thing about in islam?

Question

Someone explain in detail please.

Answer 1

The '72 virgins' is a myth that has been proven to be from a false Hadith. There is no truth to it in Islam.

Answer 2

I don't know where they get the number. But in the Koran it is written that when they go to paradise for being a martyre for the cause of Islam. They get rewarded with virgins who are always virgins & pretty boys to serve them.

I can get you the verse (because I have a Koran), but it would take time.

So the number, I think, is to encourage suicide bomber jihadists to follow through. This number is mentioned by Osamah Bin Laden and other terrorists leaders. I saw a tape of Osomah Bin Laden.

Unless this number is in their Hadith or other Islamic book.

Once the Lord showed me a vision of the virgins. They looked terrifying. Fangs & scraggly hair. I can understand why they are always virgins.

Answer 3

That's Wonkaism, not Islam. Wonkaists believe that they will inherit a chocolate factory and an eternity's worth of chocolate after death if they follow the righteous path of the Candy Man. And they believe that they will be given 72 virgin Oompa Loompas to run the factory and attend to their every need and desire.

Answer 4

No 72 virgins.

Funny thing is, I hear more about that (the virgins) through non-Muslims. Never heard about it once in a Khutbah or in conversation.

Answer 5

I dont know about 72 virgins but hurs are mentioned in islam. Their gender is not mentioned meaning both men and women in heaven can get them if they want. you get what you want

Answer 6

What Does Islam Say about Terrorism?

Islam, a religion of mercy, does not permit terrorism. In the Quran, God has said:


God does not forbid you from showing kindness and dealing justly with those who have not fought you about religion and have not driven you out of your homes. God loves just dealers. (Quran, 60:8)

The Prophet Muhammad used to prohibit soldiers from killing women and children,1 and he would advise them: {...Do not betray, do not be excessive, do not kill a newborn child.}2 And he also said: {Whoever has killed a person having a treaty with the Muslims shall not smell the fragrance of Paradise, though its fragrance is found for a span of forty years.}3

Also, the Prophet Muhammad has forbidden punishment with fire.4

He once listed murder as the second of the major sins,5 and he even warned that on the Day of Judgment, {The first cases to be adjudicated between people on the Day of Judgment will be those of bloodshed.6}7

Muslims are even encouraged to be kind to animals and are forbidden to hurt them. Once the Prophet Muhammad said: {A woman was punished because she imprisoned a cat until it died. On account of this, she was doomed to Hell. While she imprisoned it, she did not give the cat food or drink, nor did she free it to eat the insects of the earth.}8

He also said that a man gave a very thirsty dog a drink, so God forgave his sins for this action. The Prophet was asked, “Messenger of God, are we rewarded for kindness towards animals?” He said: {There is a reward for kindness to every living animal or human.}9

Additionally, while taking the life of an animal for food, Muslims are commanded to do so in a manner that causes the least amount of fright and suffering possible. The Prophet Muhammad said: {When you slaughter an animal, do so in the best way. One should sharpen his knife to reduce the suffering of the animal.}10

In light of these and other Islamic texts, the act of inciting terror in the hearts of defenseless civilians, the wholesale destruction of buildings and properties, the bombing and maiming of innocent men, women, and children are all forbidden and detestable acts according to Islam and the Muslims. Muslims follow a religion of peace, mercy, and forgiveness, and the vast majority have nothing to do with the violent events some have associated with Muslims. If an individual Muslim were to commit an act of terrorism, this person would be guilty of violating the laws of Islam.

Answer 7

Well, this is true story except that when an Islamic terrorist kills himself and others, he gets the virgin part but, it is 72 gay guys and he is the virgin. Allah is a joker, that's for sure.

Answer 8

In Islam, the ḥūr or ḥūrÄ«yah (Arabic: حورية‎) are described as " companions of equal age (well-matched)", "lovely eyed", of "modest gaze", "voluptuous", "pure beings" or "companions pure" of paradise, denoting humans and jinns who enter paradise after being recreated anew in the hereafter. There are graphical descriptions of physical pleasures in heaven, but also clear references to a greater joy that exceeds the pleasures of flesh: the acceptance from God, or good pleasure of God . Islam also has a strong mystical tradition which places these heavenly delights in the context of the ecstatic awareness of God.

Answer 9

It is a bad deal; I mean, 72 would only last maybe 2 or 3 months.. certainly not an eternity.

Answer 10

Its a myth ignorant people like to use to attack Islam. And the translation is maidens not virgins.
