Quran 56:36 mentions that Muslims will get virgins ("And made them virgins"). The virgins are female (Quran 78:33):
Multiple hadiths confirm the number to be 72. However, not all sects agree on this number, with some suggesting 99 and others suggesting 72 rooms each with 72 virgins within them.
This refers to a myth that when a Muslim martyr dies, he promised 72 virgins.
The Quran does not promise martyrs 72 virgins in heaven. It does mention companions, houri, to all people—martyr or not—in heaven, but no number is specified. The source for the 72 virgins is a hadith (a saying that's not part of the Qur'an) in Sunan al-Tirmidhi by Imam Tirmidhi.

The answer is right. In fact, the numbers 70 or 72 which appear don't mean exact figure. It is an idiomatic term which means 'many'. May be 10, may be 100.

The only human to ascend into Heaven was Jesus Christ:John 3:13New King James Version (NKJV) 13 No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven.
The 72 virgins in the Islamic heaven are considered rather magical by other religions.

So far, nobody has gone to heaven-Paradise. It is better to think about the virgins of this world. Don't bother about those virgins. They may take care of themselves.
There are at least 2 reasons: * They were men. * They were perpetual virgins.
This is not a Biblical teaching. Suggest you go to Islam for an answer.
Some interpretations of Islam teach that if a person is martyred as a result of doing God's work, they will be rewarded in Heaven with 72 virgin wives.It is reward promised by Almighty Allah in the holy Qur'an, and the holy Prophet s.a.w. in his sayings. But the promise is not restricted to mytered ones. It is general promise done to each man who goest to Jannat (paradise). These are the wives of that person. The number 72 is idiomatic and figurative, not exact figure. It means 'many'. It is extremely unfortunate that the satanic minds are using it to persuade innocent youths to explode themselves killing innocent human beings. It is utterly Un-Islamic and condemnable act.
No because a Muslim doesn't know christ as their personal savior. So in order to get into heaven you must accept christ into your personal savior. So a muslim isn't going to heaven at all with 90 virgins.
They are paid 72. Their income is in terms of virgins
to kill thousands of people!
