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.

Do Muslims believe they will get 40 virgins in heaven?

No, they get 72 virgins. What they plan to do with those virgins I do not know.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.

What do Christians believe the main purposes of being on earth are?

Christians, such as myself, believe that the main purpose of life on earth is to save the lost (unbelievers), and to glorify God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit in everything that we do, which we do with all of our might. These goals are in SHARP contrast to those (Arabs) who blow themselves and others up just so that they might have a chance at heaven with a bunch of virgins. By the way, the virgins thing is just for the men, as the women are left out in the cold.
