Re: Tracing back the 72 Virgins Lie
Sadiyah, sometimes when I read hadith’s like these, I’m shocked at how they can be classified as saheeh, when the supposed criterion for throwing out wrong hadith’s was if they contradicted the Quran, and putting anything that is NOT MENTIONED in the Quran on the side as classified “Uh, yeah we dont know if this is right or wrong”.
I thought Saheeh hadith have full support from the Quran.
So, I’m kinda concerned with all the statements that the people who classified and sorted the hadith came up with an excellent scientific method (side note).
To top it off, I’m also very confused, because I’ve seen muslim scholars deny that this is a myth and suicide bombers don’t know what they’re talking about as they say they will be getting 72 virgins, because there is no such reward as promised to martyrs.
Plus, I’m also confused as to the nature of these hoors - as someone in this very thread mentioned like on page 1 or 2 - that these hoors are not necessarily women as we would think of them, but that they are companions and servants. I also once opened a thread long ago on hoors, and I remember someone once saying that there is no evidence that these hoors are human women, but that they could just be spiritual companions and there is no way for us to know what their nature would be.
I just kinda get annoyed when I hear of all these virgins waiting for the men when they get to heaven. What the hell do we women get?
