hurt over boyfriends religion

bazza1234

hi i'm barbara. i have a lovely muslim boyfriend who i love very much. i am from ireland and he is from india. we have been together for many months now and we have both fallen madly in love. he regularly tells me that he wants to marry me and have children with me. we are very close and intimate with each other. i never had a problem with his religion but one thing really bothers me. i see how dedicated he is, he prays all the time and he does good deeds but i found out the reward in heaven is that all men will get many beautiful virgin women, more beautiful than any woman on earth. this part hurt me and made me feel betrayed and jealous. if a man loves a woman on earth, why would he want these virgin women?

The hur, virginal "companions, with beautiful, big and lustrous eyes" (Koran 56:22), are mentioned four times in the Koran (44:54, 52:20, 55:72, and 56:22)

They will be fair ones with lovely intense eyes like guarded pearls; A reward for the good deeds of their past life.” (56:17-24)
“We have created mates for them and made them virgins, matched in age, for the companions of the right hand.” (56:35-38)

“They will be chaste, restraining their eyes in modesty, never touched by man or Jinn."(55:56)

surely if a man truly fell in love and loved a woman he would not wish to have these virgin women....
i know that he believes completely in islam so am i just here to pass his time until he gets these BETTER women in heaven? i feel hurt to say the least....

Has said to you specifically that he desires these heavenly women?

Are you making assumptions about his religion or about him?

As you've already posted this on the Islam forum, I'll lock this one.

Please don't cross-post.
