And let a group of believers witness their punishment.” (Qur’an 24:2) But she confessed, you see, and he didn’t. […]
President of All India Imam Association: Each woman will be the chief of the 72 hoors her husband gets in paradise
Actually the Qur’an says nothing about what paradise will be like for women, while for men it will be an endless brothel. “‘You will be chief of 72 hoors your husband gets’: Maulana to woman on what ‘reward’ she will get in jannat,” HinduPost, January 12, 2022 (thanks to The Religion of Peace): Maulana Sajid […]
