About the 72 Virgins
By Richard C. Crandall
Most in the West don’t know much about Islam, and what they know is often incorrect. But what about the 72 virgins?
Are they real? Do Muslim men believe that after death, they will be rewarded with 72 virgins? The question needs to be addressed, because it has been suggested that there was an incorrect translation, and the men are getting raisins, not virgins. And, perhaps out of envy or jealousy, some claim the virgins are old, ugly, and in constant PMS. So what’s the truth about the 72 virgins?
Muslims believe that after they die, they will be admitted into paradise, where the weather is never too hot or too cold. In paradise, there is an abundant supply of all kinds of food, as well as rivers of water, milk, wine, and honey. There is a marketplace where men can choose and enter the image of a handsome man, after which they will remain 30 to 33 years old. In paradise, there is no waste, such as urine; however, some believe that waste is secreted as sweat, which has a pleasant, musky odor. In paradise, men recline on jeweled couches, facing one another, while each is served by thousands of immortal boys.
The virgins (Hur, Houris, and Houri) are special creations for the men in paradise. They have white skin and beautiful eyes and are hairless except for their eyebrows and heads. They have fully rounded, pear-shaped breasts that don’t sag or hang. Every man will have between 72 and 100 virgins as wives. Men have sex 100 times a day; they are never exhausted, and sex doesn’t become boring or routine. After sex, the non-virgins become virgins again. The virgins desire only their husbands and are never annoying or ungrateful. And when the husband returns from being away, the virgins tell him that he is more handsome and graceful than when he left.
