  1. Sorry I should say over 20,000 views, but I can't edit my post (don't know why). There are lots more of this type of video on the same channel.

  2. Whether the hadith about 72 virgins is not well sourced is debatable; but only the martyrs get 72 virgins according to oft quoted hadiths about this subject; prophets may get more, we don't know because it is not mentioned in the hadiths (or I don't know of any hadiths mentioning this point), and regular good Muslim men would get only two virgins, in addition to their much more beautiful earthly wives all who will enjoy much more in Paradise than any of the Houris (heavenly wives Allah created for the men as a reward, who are not equal to the Muslim women who enter Jennah/heaven or the highest Paradise/Al-Firdaus). Muslim women also get their rewards, but not exactly as the men will get (e.g. no additional spouse or heavenly virgin males).
