So a question to this video by John Green. Is it true? Like where is his sources that this is a terribly sourced hadith. Because i found this. I know for a fact though that 2 virgins females or whatever atleast is referenced more though of someone going with you when you die in heaven as wives. I recently found this. Hasan grade level is considered legit or atleast arguable to use. So just wondering, is he really right that this is not legit because it seems like just from where i can see that this is usable and not really weak or contradictory if you just want to believe it.

But just curious to your views?

Narrated Al-Miqdam bin Ma'diykarib:

That the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "There are six things with Allah for the martyr. He is forgiven with the first flow of blood (he suffers), he is shown his place in Paradise, he is protected from punishment in the grave, secured from the greatest terror, the crown of dignity is placed upon his head - and its gems are better than the world and what is in it - he is married to seventy two wives along Al-Huril-'Ayn of Paradise, and he may intercede for seventy of his close relatives." [Abu 'Eisa said:] This Hadith is Hasan Sahih.

Grade : Hasan (Darussalam)
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1663

I couldn't describe it better than him at 5:10 : so many Hadiths are like highschool gossip, it's not just the 72 virgins Hadith but there are thousands of other narrations which are as absurd, despite repeating this fact time after time, criticizers of the faith don't seem to get it.

Islam is being ignored in world's history as a huge player and the world's second largest religion; it's getting hilarious that many non-Muslims try to ignore Islam as if it didn't exist.

So many societies got into Islam without the firing of an arrow, also the Quran advocates helping the poor and the freeing of slaves explicitly in officially stated verses, but still so many choose to ignore and repeat the same old criticism. Proven wrong is not enough, the Crusaders' brutality is ignored, the Mongol atrocities are ignored, the Roman arenas are forgotton, the atomic bomb detonation over Japan is forgiven, World War 1 is forgot, World War 2 is forgot, but Islam is being blamed for ordering its followers to fight "those who fight them but don't transgress".

https://quran.com/2/190?translations=
Sahih International

(190) Fight in the way of Allah those who fight you but do not transgress. Indeed. Allah does not like transgressors.

But still; the non-believing transgressor would ignore this, and accuse Islam of advocating transgression.

I thought this might be a story of a small comic-con fest.

I don't know. I suspect anyone who wants 72 virgins has never had to deal with one virgin. Not the best of times, tbh.

Heh, before I even opened this thread I was wondering if it was a sock and how long it was going to last.

Are you going to a game convention, Leon?

The math department at MIT probably has more than that.
