Topic: 72 Virgins Posted: 08-Apr-2007 at 19:19 |
When a faithful Muslim man dies and enters Heaven/Paradise he is granted 72 virgins and 80,000 slaves by Allah.
Now I was wondering, where these 80,072 people actually come from.
Presumably they haven't lived on Earth yet, or have they?

We were just discussing the topic of deathbed conversions and Islam was emerging as the strongest candidate.

I am muslim, and I have never heard any one of these stories, until I tuned on CNN. .
It's not a part of Islam.

Same, and I went through the Iranian education system and its religion courses.

These guys in the Western media have an icredible imagination power... Maybe actually these are their own fantasies as they are afraid of making public their own fantasies, they attribute it to Islam, which grabs a lot of attention nowadays in every part of the world

By the way, 72 virgin is fine(I wont refuse them.) but well, what will I do with 80.000 slaves?
Maybe 72 slave and 80.000 virgin? More preferable..

Who cares about virgins anyways - the experience and maturity in a woman is way more important to a man.
Aside from that, the 72 virgins are mentioned in the Sharia I believe - but the reward is only available as a result of Jiihad - which necessarily doesn't mean to die as a suicide bomber.
Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Uh, They should keep me happy, remember we are at heaven.
Northman suicide is banned by islam(One of biggest crime.). I suspect they will meet 72 virgin women. Most probably, They will meet 72 big guy with great moustache(or 80.000 guy.)

This isnt mainstream Islam, yet it gets mainstream attention.
Just a good religious lie for young male who doesn't know better. Like selling land in heaven, didn't the latin church do that?

yeh! but knowing the afore mentioned muslim mans luck those virgins would probably be expected to remain chaste and forever remain virginal. (the slaves are probably us lovable heathen sinners).
Now had he been a Scottish dude then the deal would be more likely him getting 72 wanton hussies; 80000 bottles of whiskey and a choice of heavens. Valhalla sounds like the cool place to be
Hey! Northman what's my chances of getting into Valhalla
(anyways you try finding 72 virgins in Scotland 18 years or older
Oh! and we tend to be lacking in the wise men dept too)
I've just realised us Scots have much in common with the English after all

If you are a brave warrior and die in battle, you chances should be good.
(quite similar to Islam I guess)
Valhalla can't come up with 72 virgins - but Freya the godess of love and fertilitywill keep you happy I think - or one of the Valkyries.
Ask the Queen Valkyrie Dawn - she will know
You will get eternal life though - feasting every night, eating the same pig over and over again - and fighting every day without the possiblity of getting killed.....
Its not unusual to hear something like this in Valhalla:
"Hey Scorpian - you beheaded me yesterday with your waraxe - what an awsome blow - lets have a drink on that."
