  • 72 virgins for martydom ?
     OP - September 30, 2011, 04:53 PM

    one of my muzzy mates told me that there isn't any islamic doctrines in quran/hadith stating martyrs get 72 virgins, but that it's just nonsense the mullahs innovated to entice red blood young men into jihad/islamic militancy/carrying out suicide bombings.

    is he true, or is there some dogma stating you get your 72 virgins? and where so in quran/hadith?



    maybe u just get one 72 year old virgin ?  dance

    One of the best things that people long for in the Hereafter is, for men, the women of Paradise, namely al-hoor al-‘iyn, and for women there is an equivalent delight. By His great wisdom, Allaah has not mentioned what the women will have as the equivalent of al-hoor al-‘iyn for men, and that is due to modesty and shyness.


    Love that.

    There are various references in the Qur'an to the Hooris that one gets to enjoy in Jannah - the number "72" is not mentioned in the Qur'an - it is one of a variety of numbers mentioned in the Hadith.

    You must be blind or trolling.

    Quote
    "And (there will be) Hoor (fair females) with wide lovely eyes (as wives for Al-Muttaqoon – the pious).

    23. Like unto preserved pearls”

    [al-Waaqi’ah 56:22, 23]

    “Verily, We have created them (maidens) of special creation.

    36. And made them virgins.

    37. Loving (their husbands only), (and) of equal age”

    [al-Waaqi’ah 56:35-37]

    “Therein (Gardens) will be Khairaatun‑Hisaan [fair (wives) good and beautiful]”

    [al-Rahmaan 55:70]


    Those are the Quranic verses regarding the 72 virgins. The rest is the interpretation of those verses and hadith by sunni scholars who are accepted by all if not most sunni muslims.

    Islam is full of numbers -

    think the Prophet suffered from a lot of idiosyncrasies, to put it mildly  - perhaps a bit of OCD too.

    So "most sunni muslims" are NOT constantly "reinterpreting" the Qur'an to their own liking? They blindly accept the centuries-old rulings of long-dead jurists?

    Religious people talk about Morality and that kind of shit but in the end what is so moral about you having to fuck 72 Virgins?Huh? I don't see it in this case.

    Looks like a double standard, you can't fuck too much on earth but when u get to heaven u will fuck the living paradise out of those virgins, and Virgins, why virgins?? what is so special about them Huh?

    If Morality was absolute and Universal it would apply even in the other world.

    I thought it had been harrumphed, not actually disputed!

    Quote
    Starting from those passages that are unclear to the Western commentators, the method runs as follows. First check if there is a plausible explanation in Tabarī that the Western commentators overlooked. If not, then check whether the Lisān records a meaning unknown to Tabarī and his earlier sources. If this turns up nothing, check if the Arabic expression has a homonymous root in Syriac with a different meaning which fits the context. In many cases, Luxenberg found that the Syriac word with its meaning makes more sense. It is to be noted, that these first steps of the heuristic do not emend the consonantal text of the Cairene edition of the Qur’ān.

    [13] If these steps do not avail, then see if changing one or more diacritical marks results in an Arabic expression that makes more sense. Luxenberg found that many cases are shown to be misreadings of one consonant for another. If not, then change the diacritical point(s) and then check if there is a homonymous Syriac root with a plausible meaning.

    [14] If there is still no solution, check if the Arabic is a calque of a Syriac expression. Calques are of two kinds: morphological and semantic. A morphological calque is a borrowing that preserves the structure of the source word but uses the morphemes of the target language. For example, German Fernsehen is just the morphemes tele and visio of English “television” translated into their German equivalents. A semantic calque assigns the borrowed meaning to a word that did not have the meaning previously, but which is otherwise synonymous with the source word.

    [15] In section four, Luxenberg presents the development of the Arabic script and its central importance to the transmission history of the Qur’ān. He demonstrates that there were originally only six letters to distinguish some twenty-six sounds. The letters were gradually distinguished by points written above or below each letter. The Arabic alphabet used in the Qur’ān began as a shorthand, a mnemonic device not intended as a complete key to the sounds of the language. Luxenberg concludes that the transmission of the text from Muhammad was not likely an oral transmission by memory, contrary to one dominant claim of Islamic tradition.

    You need to invest some time in to research. According to the history; this concept (concerning number, to which sex it applied etc) was not established until some few hundred years after the death of Muhammad.
    It is amusing, however, to see how those who wish to resort to prevaricated statements in relation to Islam consistently refer to this notion. It indicates a few things: primarily, such individuals have failed to independently research, and clearly have to rely on others for their "information". It is disappointing (but typical) to see those individuals have failed to adhere to the Islamic principle of gaining knowledge - "it is obligatory to gain knowledge" or "an hours contemplation is better than a years worship". Secondly, they partake in a great injustice against what the facts stipulate. Thirdly, you slander the genuine teachings of Muhammad as a result.

    This does not apply simply to this topic but to several. I would suggest you look beyond the mass media for your information, embrace the idea "knowledge is power", and attempt to gain some.
