There are only a few specific descriptions in the Qur'an, though others have added speculations and promises over the years. The usual image, appropriate for a desert people, is a garden of refreshment running with rivers of water, wine and milk. The wine is of such quality that drinkers do not have hangovers from it. The principle food is "roast fowl," perhaps chicken. The most often cited benefit is the 70 or 72 virgins who may be enjoyed sexually, with either their virginity or themselves being replaced as they are used.

Various interpretations have reserved this "the Hundredth Heaven" (i.e., far above all those earned by prayer, fasting and almsgiving) for marytrs only. Still other claims have been made for rather modern earthly pleasures, including fancy houses, video games, and automobiles. Some, somewhat skeptical, people have pointed out that the word used for "virgins" can also mean "raisins," so perhaps part of the heavenly reward is an enternally-replenished handful of 72 raisins.
