Imam Mohammad Tawhidi

Islam is the only religion that told our Jewish brothers and sisters that Mary gave birth to Jesus without a husband.

This is the same book, by the way.

You point to a religion for me that did this service to Christianity and to Jesus Christ and to Mary other than Islam.

You didn't answer the question.

No, but I'm getting there.

No, you're not answering.

I'm getting there.

Yes, okay, so 72 virgins is real.

That's in Islam, it's in the concept of it.

The concept of it is in the Quran.

But again, allow me to unpack.

Please.

So when you read these things in the Quran, please, Patrick, please, let's not forget the type of community these statements were being issued to.

We're not talking about Oxford graduates or Harvard graduates.

This was a primitive society in need of guidance.

And therefore...

In their mentality, there are certain things they consider to be worthwhile and rewards.

And unfortunately, one of them, again, is women, right?

So the word 70 in Islam and in Arabic tradition and Arabic literature in general means a lot.

It does not mean exactly 72.
