There is a Hadith (Sahih Buklhari Volume 1, Book 9, Number 490) which states that if a woman or a dog passes in front of you while you are praying, your prayer will not make it to heaven.
Question: What is it about women and dogs which will prevent a Muslim man's prayer from reaching the ears of Allah in heaven? Sonic or shadowy interruption, maybe!

Exaggerating those shot shot verses given by Quran shows how dishonest you can be even as a deeply rooted moslem. The quran says the skins of the inhabitants of hell will be renewed it (quran) did not state layers of skin. In the Good book of the Gospel according to Mark, JESUS said, No MARRIAGE in heaven as some people came to ask him about 7 brothers who took tends to marry the same woman who never gave birth with any of them. Whose wife was it on the day of judgement? The answer was clear. What do we see in your Quran? That the inhabitants of heaven will be wedded to women who are virgins to add more evil to that, that those who can die fighting in the way of Allah will be wedded to 77 ( am not sure of the figure)virgins. You know what? I believe JESUS because he never hated any one and also prayed for the forgiveness of those who crucified him. Now my question is that if you dont know how Heaven will look like how will you know how hell will be. Stop misleading people with the moslem religion because i cannot see any good in a moslem except holding those opinions of the Quran. The world will have been a better place without it.

Please, learn to know that the language of God to men are cocooned in dense figurative expressions.
Examples: Moses fasted for forty days and forty nights did not mean the guy was without food for the period aforesaid. It means he fasted for a long period of time.
On the other hand, when you read three days and three nights in the new testament, it does not mean exactly three days and three nights. It means a very short number of days.
When you read a land where milk and honey flows, it does not mean milk and honey will be moving along like a river. It means a life of pleasantness, peace and prosperity.
In the same vein, saying that a Muslim will be wedded to 77 virgins does not mean a man will be copulating with 77 women.
Please, read and free your mind from the abuse of suffocating ignorance and from the tentacles of blind prejudice

You have answered your own question.
The story of 72 virgins or 77 virgins (depends on whoever is quoting or misquoting the Quran)has been misinterpreted not only by Christians but by some Muslims too.
To begin with, being in heaven wouldn't involve corporal activities as pertains here on earth.
For you folks who don't understand the Quran, I will say for the last time. God/Allah/Elloi uses the language of humanity to paint a blissful picture as possible for his worshippers as to what they would expect after all their suffering.
To those whose inner joy lie with wine and drinks, he paints the picture of flowing wine to them; to those who enjoy silver and gold, he paints the picture of reward in riches; to those who enjoy the company of women, he impresses on their mind the abundance of women (your 72 or 77 virgins); to those who enjoy the sweet things he paints the picture of milk and honey.
Thus over and over and over again God uses the language of men to teach men.
I will ask you critics out there whether you can teach a toddler anything in calculus or reveal the cadence in Shakespearean writing and literature to that toddler ?
The obvious answer is no! Why because to that toddler, you are spouting gibberish--she or cannot comprehend !
When talking to a toddler, you mention papa, mama, dada, bra or come, ko or go etc. You dwell on the language the infant understands before moving on to more complex vocabulary. Who will understand God if he decides to tell us exactly what pertains in heaven when we have no idea what is over there? None!
Thus God portrays what he has prepared for his worshippers in a language as is understood by them. Hence Jesus was right when he said they will neither marry nor given to marriage.
Heaven will not be about the mundane activities as we have here (Having sex, taking a shit, urinating, stressing out, paying taxes etc). So please read the scriptures very well before you start blaming God or the Quran or anybody.
Remember, God speaks to you in the language you understand. That is the perfect way to communicate his intentions to mankind

Adjaloo, do not confuse the message and interpretation of the Bible with the Koran. The two are as different as the day is from the night. The Koran has only one witness and apostle, Mohammed, who was born in 570 AD. He claimed his "God" is called Allah who has no Son. All koranic message and interpretation was based on his (Mohammed's) word. His religion was based on works and the reward of paradise. In contrast, the Bible was in existence long before even Mohammed was born. Christianity claims "For God so loved the world, that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish, but have eternal life. For God didn't send his Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world should be saved through him." John 3:16-17. He is the Word of God and God's Covenant with man (Isaiah 42:6).
"In him was life; and the life was the light of men." John 1:4. The prize of heaven is Christ-- wherever he is there is peace and joy.

Your quotation from the Bible is wrong. It says for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son... Do you understand the word begotten? It means to give birth. Your Bible is saying the Immortal, invisible gave birth-- physical birth to Jesus. Just think about it.
