What makes you think it would take 72 days? I might be a little on the old side, but I still think 20 days ought to be more than enough in my case.
Added: Just a thought....that would still leave a few places unexplored.....

Yet another verse from the Quran taken outa context. The ''Virgins'' which are called Hoor in arabic. No where in teh Quran does it state that they are for men only, infact the gender is not mentioned at all in the Quran nor whether ot not they are for men or women.
2. 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 Quran 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 fruit there from, 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-Quran 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-Quran 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.
3. Women will get something exceptional in Paradise
Many scholars say that in context, the word hoor used in the Quran 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.
Hope this gives you a better understanding of Islam and its misconseptions.

72 virgins is a false rumor spread by the media. Muslim men and women will get many companions and servants....72 is nowhere mentioned in the quran

Robin Williams' question is "What woman dies a virgin?" They get 72 women who look like Janet Reno.

i honestly believe that you do not know what you are talking about. i have studied Islam for many years and i have never heard this. AND if you take out all your prejudice against Muslims you will know that there are so many things to do in heaven and so much fun to have.
blessedr:
and how do yo know if you enter heaven you will be a spirit, and i can infer that you are saying that when a person enters hell he will be spirit to but no you will have a body

what is illogical is..when you are a spirit...are you gonna have sexual pleasure? sexual organs created for pro creation on earth..there is no pro creation in the spirit realms.
they are being lied too.
and certain focus on man's gain..vs equality across all ages and gender, what good is this mesage to a child or baby that died..it's illogical to kill..and get rich with 72 virgins. maybe they ought to do this to themselves..vs toward us.

the number 72 comes from an unauthentic hadeeth (tradition) .. but we believe we will get virgins in paradise insha'llah.
