text: do the muslims learn math? the muslim men get 72 virgins when they die, especially if they were good jihadies.  but the 72 virgins are not for mathematicians:  during my first 5 billion years in paradise i have the same 72 virgins, now compare this to normal life on earth: if i have just one woman during my active life of 50 years, that corresponds to 100 million in 5 billion years. at this ratio i am approximately 1,4 million times better off here earth. and as the time passes this ration of heavenly pleasure and to the earthly one converges towards zero… i suppose this is too fine a point for a desert robber to consider when inventing his religion… first of all :  i would like to inform you that in paradise believing men and women will be showered with blessings; there is no room for discrimination based on sex in paradise. the life of women in jannah will be as pleasant and happy as the life of men. allah is not partial to any sex. he created both of them and he will take care of both of them according to their needs and desires. let us all work to achieve the jannah and then, in sha’ allah, we will find there what will satisfy all of us fully.   second :  it is untrue that muslim men are the only ones that get companions in heaven. the main reason why the quran and hadith are stressing the fact that men will get virgin girls is because it more appealing to men than promising virgin men to women. men are more sexually active and therefore are facing a lot of difficulty (especially in the teenage years) to remain chaste. there are a lot of temptations in this world. that is why that allah keeps promising these virgin girls who are more superior to the women of this world to those that remain patient and steadfast. that way, this motivates the unmarried men to remain chaste and be patient because they know  they have something better waiting for them in the next life. because if they do not get it legally in the next life then they would get it illegally in this life.  these are some verses that show the equality that men and women receive when it comes to attaining the rewards of paradise.    surah 3:195 so their lord accepted their prayer: that i will not waste the work of a worker among you, whether male or female... surah 4:194 and whoever does good deeds whether male or female and he (or she) is a believer -- these shall enter the garden, and they shall not be dealt with a jot unjustly. surah 16:97 whoever does good whether male or female and he is a believer, we will most certainly make him live a happy life, and we will most certainly give them their reward for the best of what they did. surah 33:35 surely the men who submit and the women who submit, and the believing men and the believing women, and the obeying men and the obeying women, and the truthful men and the truthful women, and the patient men and the patient women and the humble men and the humble women, and the almsgiving men and the almsgiving women, and the fasting men and the fasting women, and the men who guard their private parts and the women who guard, and the men who remember allah much and the women who remember -- allah has prepared for them forgiveness and a mighty reward. surah 36:56 they and their wives shall be in shades, reclining on raised couches surah 39:34 they will have with their lord whatever they desire; that is the reward of those who good. surah 43:70 enter the garden, you and your wives; you shall be made happy.   recommended readings http://www.harunyahya.com/palestine01.php (great free online book by harun yahya) http://www.answering-christianity.com/bassam_zawadi/islamic_paradise.htm http://www.drzakirnaik.com/pages/qanda/29.php http://www.islamonline.net/servlet/satellite?pagename=islamonline-english-ask_scholar/fatwae/fatwae&cid=1119503549252 http://www.islamonline.net/servlet/satellite?cid=1119503548738&pagename=islamonline-english-ask_scholar%2ffatwae%2ffatwae http://www.islamonline.net/servlet/satellite?cid=1119503543756&pagename=islamonline-english-ask_scholar%2ffatwae%2ffatwae
