This is a serious question for the Islamic faithful.?

There are a lot of misconceptions on this issue, even amongst Muslims.

Firstly, those Taliban and Al Qaeda are not dying for virgins in heaven, that's a big myth.

Secondly there is no exact number. I don't know where the '72' part comes from. The Quran just says there will be women in heaven. Something that should be noted is that these women are at a different level than the woman on this earth. They're pure, mature and completely different. Since its heaven, these women do not pray and as well no marriage is required there. Lets not forget that the good believing women of this world will be MORE beautiful when they get to heaven, it's God's promise.

Thirdly we have to look at a historical context as well. Back then Muslims often fought against the Quresh tribe when they were younger (life expectancy was very low). They never got a chance to marry. Jihad is obligatory for men (optional for women)

Fourthly, the Meccan society at the time was very promiscuous. There were many beautiful women flaunting their body parts. As Islam tells us we're to lower our gaze and keep away from these women. Now that takes a lot of courage for a man to look away from a gorgeous women who's not lawful to him.

Fifthly, lets use psychology. Sex for men is a cure for many things. It eases their stress and helps them preform much better. Its what all we think about. Its not the same for women. Men will do anything for sex with a beautiful women and Islam tells us to have control over ourselves, no matter how hot the woman or women we see in public are.

Sixthly IT'S HEAVEN. YO GET WHATEVER YOU WANT

Everything we do is with authority from Allah. No subject how a lot we strive we cant do whatever if Allah doesnt will it to occur, and regardless of how a lot we attempt to hinder whatever we cant give up what Allah wills. This is a center side of Islamic notion its known as Qadr. Everything comes from Allah, the construction can do not anything on its possess. If Allah didnt will for persons to enter area then no-one could be in a position to, however seeing that persons went into area proves that it was once the need of Allah. During the time of Prophet :noticed: after the struggle of Badr wherein the Muslims had been effective, Allah found out a verse of the Quran wherein He stated to the Muslims that it was once now not you who killed the enemy but it surely was once Allah and it was once now not you who defeated the enemy but it surely was once Allah (paraphrased- I cant recall the special ayah). This indicates that even after the struggle which the Muslims needed to bodily battle, they nonetheless believed that the whole lot they did got here from Allah. However, persons must now not take this and come to be lazy claiming to be completely reliant on Allah seeing that Allah is helping folks that support themselves. Once the 2d Caliph Umar :ra: went into the masjid and he observed 2 younger guys who had been consistently praying and regularly staying within the masjid. Umar requested them why they do that and so they responded they're the persons who've tawakul (reliance) on Allah so that they dont have got to paintings or do whatever else besides worship. Umar went external and got here again together with his stick and beat them. He beat them seeing that the real which means of tawakul is to do the whole lot you'll on the earth then depart the leisure as much as Allah. The instance of that is within the movements of the Prophet :noticed: earlier than the struggle the Prophet used to educate the warriors, get ready them and lead them to stand in flanks; then he used to head and pray for victory. The Prophet first did all he might to arrange for struggle then he left the leisure as much as Allah. This is the real which means of tawakul. Sorry if I went off subject, however I inspiration it was once satisfactory to provide an explanation for so persons dont misunderstand.

Peace be unto you. The virgins you receive in heaven will be your wives there. Even Jesus (pbuh) alludes to this in the Bible.

Matthew 17:29

29 And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name's sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.

If your receive an hundredfold of wives that's even more than 72 virgins. But it's the same idea and the same message because it is all the same God. Peace be unto you and the blessings of Allah.

Here is how it works (for men):

you go to heaven

you get like 5000 or so angel servants

they do whatever you tell them to

your wife is the queen of them.

Muslim women will get to heaven and then watch their husband banging a bunch of virgins....that makes about as much sense as the rest of Islam.

The "72 virgins" is a myth.

Like everything else in islam, and every other religion for that matter, it's all made up nonsense.

It`s just made up

Whatever you want.
