Arabic is a hard language to translate right.

That's why GOD Says Don't write the Quran in any other language. Only explain it in other languages. But the only way a preson will ever understand the Quran right, It to know Arabic.

The word in Arabic is "hoor al-eyan" which was translated in English wrong. This word is Very had to explain. But it has nothing to do with a woman's virginity or sex. Also the # 72 is a random # it can be any #. It's an example. Examples are used a lot in the Quran, because there are many things that a Human can't understand, like the Honey & milk thing, It doesn't mean Honey & milk, It means Something that is as sweet as honey & is as good for your body as milk, Something that can't be pictured by a humans mind.

GOD bless everyone
