Why 72 virgins?

[Squirt]

I always wondered why do muslims receive 72 virgins when they get to heaven?
What is the significance of 72 virgins?
Do high priests receieve more than 72 virgins?
Do you get less virgins if your a criminal?
Do women also receive 72 virgins?or 72 kitchens?

[Midori]

google is your friend

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Houri#.2272_Virgins.22

72 virgins is an interpretation of houri

[CeLL]

probably similar to how morons interperet myriad as 20,000 in modern biblical translations.

[TheDrop]

I always wondered if women got 72 virgins as well. I mean, if their husbands went to the same heaven, won't that make them a cheating slut?

Its just a reference to how you will be rewarded in paradise.. and it does not state anywhere as 72 virgins.. it just says Muslims with good deeds will be rewarded with houris (whose gender or even their form of existence has not been revealed in detail).. no idea where people got the 72 virgin interpretation from but its completely bs

http://english.islamway.com/ << better but still not that good...

did you read the whole wikipedia article? didn't think so.

Qur'anic description: The houri have variously been described as being "restraining their glances (chaste)",[8][9] "modest gaze",[4] "wide and beautiful/lovely eyes",[3][8][10][11] "like pearls",[12] "spouse",[13] "companions of equal age"[2][14], "splendid"[1] and much more besides.

Shiat Scholar description: Still all in accordance with Qur'an, the basic fact of the description of this beauty is how good deeds take the ideal order and proportion to physical forms, how they won't fade away over time, and how they accompany their performers[15]. This description is widely used in Sufism and Mysticism[16].

Other description: This kind of description is more superficial, rather than scholar such as"non-menstruating/urinating/defecating and childfree[17][18] or being able to have a short pregnancy lasting an hour[19]", "with bodies not affected by pregnancy or breast-feeding",[17], "60 cubits [27.5 meters] tall",[18][20][21] "7 cubits [3.2 meters] in width",[18] "transparent to the marrow of their bones",[17][22] "eternally young",[23] "hairless except the eyebrows and the head",[23] "pure",[22] "beautiful",[22].

go to the page, go to the citations if you want proof.

[dom]

Anything more than 1 is sexist?

And unless you could cane them into submission, I highly doubt anyone would want to live with 72 women.

Most men can barely handle 1.

[K i N G]

I am a Muslim and i never heard about this, check your source, don't receive wrong information about anything specially sensitive topics like this.

[ZaKnighT]

There is no 72 virgins and all of that is bs... And yes wiki is wrong

[Gaigemasta]

Margaret Nydell states that mainstream Muslims regard this belief about 72 virgins in the same way that mainstream Christians regard the belief that after death they will be issued with wings and a harp, and walk on clouds

There is no 72 virgins... I have never heard about.. It's not in the Quran or Hades. It was never mentioned any thing about 72 virgins. Check the other site I gave you. And wiki is wrong . Tell any Muslim you know about the 72 virgin and he will laugh at you. lol @ 72 virgins
