I need some explanation please.
Am not interested in what Christianity says. They have enough of their own funny tales, much more than any other faith/religion. I want answers from Muslims.
Thanks for all yr answers. But agan, i am interested in serious answers, preferably from knowledgeable Muslims.

I believe that God will reward many martyrs! But one thing you can be absolutely sure of there is no sex in heaven! Don't let anyone fool you, even God him self doesn't have sex!
And the terrorist of 9 11 are burning in HELL right now this very moment! I can assure you that they will never, ever, have any sex with any virgins in heaven! Who did they think they were fooling? They are not judge of anyone! At best they were just brainwashed by an infidel!

It is not ALL muslim men who get the 72 houris, it's only male martyrs.
It was narrated that al-Miqdaam ibn Ma’di Yakrib said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “The martyr has six blessings with Allaah: he will be forgiven from the first drop of blood shed; he will be shown his place in Paradise; he will be protected from the torment of the grave; he will be safe from the greater terror; a crown of dignity will be placed on his head, one ruby of which is better than this world and everything in it; he will be married to seventy-two wives from al-hoor al-‘iyn; and he will intercede for seventy of his relatives.” Narrated by al-Tirmidhi, 1663; Ibn Maajah, 2799; classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi.
It was narrated that Zayd ibn Arqam said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to me: “A man in Paradise will be given the strength of one hundred men in eating, drinking, desire and intercourse.”

Not all Muslims believe in this Hadith. Many Muslims believe it is fake.
There is verses/hadith that have been deemed definitely true that say all men entering Jannah (heaven) will get at least 2 houris, and some more, depending upon how good of Muslims they were. Most regular muslims don't believe the 72 virgin hadith. It's mostly Salafis who have deemed it true, and the terrorists who use it to entice men to become suicide bombers.

i still dont know whether the hadith authentic or not.we should look what scholars said about it.but to my mind it looks like a good hadith .of course a martyr should be rewarded with the best gift
if the hadith is authentic we must believe this information about unseen
we believe a muslim in the lovest level of heaven will have a land equal to ten earths so 72 houris are not too much.
@Katy:There wont be any jealousy in heaven.you will consider it as normal

The Houris are basically creations of Allah(swt), intelligent yet soulless and created to serve the believer who goes to Paradise. They are created for the purpose of serving the believer, and as such, they dont exactly have free will. They are described as pure, beautiful, lustrous, virgin, and more perfect than any human on earth. Imagine the woman of your dreams.
Women aren’t left out: A man in paradise will get numerous female servants for himself, while a woman would get male servants. The Quran says that women shall be compensated just as well and says about the believers that “they” (the gender unspecified) shall
