Question about Islam. Their version of heaven men get 72 virgins?

Question

Where do these virgins come from? Is it there choice to be offered up to men, or are they raped? This doesn't sound like paradase for them.

If it is a belief of the fanatics where did they get it from

Answer 1

Yes, according to Islamic doctrine (i.e. Muhammed's mythology) they get 72 virgins; they also get a number of boys of ‘perpetual freshness’:
Koran 52:24
Round about them will serve, to them, boys (handsome) as pearls well-guarded.
Koran 56:17
Round about them will serve boys of perpetual freshness.
Koran 76:19
And round about them will serve boys of perpetual freshness: if thou seest them, thou wouldst think them scattered pearls.
In case you can’t figure out the significance of this, here’s a piece of the famous Arabian poem “Joys of Sodomy” by Abu Nuwas (the rest is significantly more disturbing, therefore I have not posted it):

O the joy of sodomy!
So now be sodomites, you Arabs.
Turn not away from it--
therein is wondrous pleasure.

Doesn’t Islamic paradise sound…scary?

Edit:

Millie, that only signifies that those clerics and their children use religion to incite the less intelligent, and do not themselves believe it. The Koran does, indeed, promise virgins and boys (72 virgins, 28 boys) to the ‘faithful’ (men, of course):

Koran 78:31
As for the righteous, they shall surely triumph. Theirs shall be gardens and vineyards, and high- bosomed virgins for companions: a truly overflowing cup.
Koran 37:40-48
...They will sit with bashful, dark-eyed virgins, as chaste as the sheltered eggs of ostriches.
Koran 44:51-55
...Yes and We shall wed them to dark-eyed houris. (beautiful virgins)
Koran 52:17-20
...They shall recline on couches ranged in rows. To dark-eyed houris (virgins) we shall wed them...
Koran 55:56-57
In them will be bashful virgins neither man nor Jinn will have touched before.Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny ?"
Koran 55:57-58
Virgins as fair as corals and rubies. Then which of the favours of your Lord will you deny ?"
Koran 56:7-40
...We created the houris (the beautiful women) and made them virgins, loving companions for those on the right hand.. "
Koran 55:70-77
"In each there shall be virgins chaste and fair... Dark eyed virgins sheltered in their tents whom neither man nor Jin will have touched before..

Quote from Hadith
Al Hadis, Vol. 4, p. 172, No. 34
Ali reported that the Apostle of Allah said, "There is in Paradise a market wherein there will be no buying or selling, but will consist of men and women. When a man desires a beauty, he will have intercourse with them."

Answer 2

I easily have one answer which will answer each and every of the seven questions... The seventy two virgin undertaking is a fable... there is no longer something in the quran that say something approximately seventy two virgins in heaven... the parable began whilst some fool needed to make an offensive caricature...

Answer 3

Who on earth would want 72 females nagging at you all the time anyways?

I have just one (striking me in the head right now) and thats enough work for me.

Obviously the appeal is to single virgins themselves...hense perhaps more to the real reason they blow themselves up?

Answer 4

You wont find anything in the Quran that says about those "72 virgins". That's part of the lies Muslims use to brainwash their fanatics. If it is true, why we never hear about any of the Muslim clerlics' children or the children of any Muslim leader blowing themselves up??????????

Answer 5

Yes, the Islamic scriptures do garauntee those who kill in the name of allah and die that their paradise is filled with virgins and rivers that flow with wine. it is much like a brothel. The virgins are said to be nice and pure and never touched. It does not matter if it is paradise for the virgins. Muhammad did not care about them, just his lust of power, sex, money.

37:40 "Fruits, Delights: they will be honored in the Gardens of Pleasure, on thrones facing one another. Round them will be passed a cup of pure whit wine, delicious to the drinkers, free from ghoul(hurt), nor shall you be made mad or exhausted thereby. And with them will be Qasirat-at-Tarf(virgin females), restraining their glances(desiring none but you), with big beautiful eyes. As if they were (sheltered) eggs, preserved."


Anyway, I answered another post that asked
What you think of Islam. Here is the answer below.


Islam

This is not my idea. I read the Quran, the Hadiths, The History of al Tabari, and Sirat Rasul Allah and what they say about Islam and it is very clear what Islam and its lone proprietor is about.

It is time for the world to get a clue. It is all there for them to read. All four of which I stated above combine to be the authority on Islam. Their message is very clear.

Submit and obey or die. The Islamic scripture teach to kill everyone who are not muslims and all peaceful muslims or hyporcrites as they are called in Islamic scriptures. Everyone is on the hitlist as defined by the Islamic Scriptures - atheists, buddhist, hinduism, christians, jews, agnostics, satanist, well EVERYONE.

Muhammad was a pirate, a terrorist, a pedophile, a rapist, a mass murderer, a slave driver, a false prophet, and we could go on. He developed this plan(called Islam) to satiate his lust for power, sex, and money. In the meantime he has caused millions to lose their soul and right now there are about 1.5 billion more that are in danger of losing their soul.

The so called terrorist or extremist know what their 'prophet' has taught them and they are Good Muslims. It is a shame for the world that a Good Muslim Inherently becomes a Bad Person. Bush says that this is a war on terrorism. That is stupid. You cannot have a war on terrorism. Terrorism is a tactic. We need to wake up and see what is causing these people to kill in the name of their false god and the answer is simple ISLAM. They are promised dark eyed virgins and rivers that flow with wine. Islam is the only religion that teaches is followers that if they go out and kill for their god and die while doing it they are garaunteed paradise. Again, this is not my IDEAL this is what Islamic scripture say. Don't believe me, that is find, read yourself. And for all you peaceful Muslims who do not like to fight, muhammad called you hypocrites and told the Good Muslims to kill you too. Again, it is not what I say, it is in the Islamic scripture.

Islam is the religion in the end times in which the false prophet and satan will use to fool the masses. Satan, has set it up perfectly having them believe that one of their Imans, the Twelfth Imam (Imam Mehdi Alaihis Salaam) is still alive and will appear before the end of the world(Zuhoor).

Anyway, don't believe what I say. I challenge all to read for themselves.

The Quran
The Hadiths(Bukhari and Muslim)
The History of al Tabira
The Sirat Rasul Allah

A rational, logical, and in depth reading leaves the reader with little other choice to come to this conclusion.

Answer 6

I asked the same question with a little less tact and it was deleted. Supposedly this 72 virgin thing is a myth. Who cares? Virgins in numbers are annoying anyways.

Answer 7

The Quran says nothing about 72 virgins. The prophet and his family say nothing about it. It is a false accusation from people trying to make fun of or demonize Muslims. Women in fact have some better treatment in heaven, especially mothers. Said the prophet Muhammad(peace be upon him),"Heaven lay at the feet of mothers"

Answer 8

I believe this idea is non-canonical. I always imagine them (the jihadists) meeting their 72 virgins who are are really 72 cranky old nuns holding guns, lol.

Answer 9

Nonsense

Answer 10

Dear freind
ALLAH has created virgins.virgins r beautifull ,pure & never touch.This is the reward from ALLAH 4 those people who do good deeds in this world & then go to heaven.
