Last month, when the battle for Mosul began, Islamic State “caliph” Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi reportedly promised four extra Houris (supernatural, celestial women designed for sexual purposes)—atop the other 72 promised by prophet Muhammad—to all jihadis who die (are “martyred”) fighting the infidel forces, according to Arabic media accounts.
Al-Baghdadi did this during an extra “fiery sermon” wherein he recounted 15 hadiths and three stories dealing with the Houris in the context of the original Muslim conquest of Mosul, circa. 637, at the hands of Muhammad’s companions (the sahahba). After promising his followers that “blood will run like rivers in the [forthcoming] battle,” al-Baghdadi declared: “All, without exception, will enter paradise as martyrs. Moreover, you will enter paradise with four more Houris than other martyrs. For just as you stand by me now, so will they stand by you, or under you, or above you, so that you might forget what will happen to you by way of violence, death, and degradation in this war.”
While it is easy to dismiss this report as a hoax (among other things, it doesn’t explain why al-Baghdadi thinks they will get four more heavenly concubines), the problem is that Islam—from its history and doctrines, to the exhortation of its leaders, from Muhammad to al-Baghdadi—is full of stories and enticements concerning the Houris.
The martyr is special to Allah. He is forgiven from the first drop of blood [that he sheds]. He sees his throne in paradise…. He will wed the Houris [[a.k.a. “voluptuous women”] and will not know the torments of the grave and safeguards against the greater horror [hell]. Fixed atop his head will be a crown of honor, a ruby that is greater than the world and all it contains. And he will copulate with seventy-two Houris. (Source: The Al Qaeda Reader, p.143).
The histories of the conquest of Mesopotamia and Syria are in fact full of anecdotes of Muslims throwing themselves into the fray and rushing to death’s embrace because they believed doing so would rush them to the warm embraces of the heavenly sex slaves. Here are some anecdotes from al-Waqidi’s account of the battle of Yarmuk in Syria (636), which took place right around the same time as the conquest for Mosul, and which also pitted smaller Muslim forces against much greater infidel forces (in this case, Christian Byzantine):
- As one Muslim captain searched for his nephew, Suwayed, in a field of Muslim corpses, he found him dying on the ground. When the man came into the vision of the fallen youth, Suwayed began to cry. He explained that, after being speared by a Byzantine, “something amazing began to happen to me: the Houris are standing beside me, awaiting my soul’s departure.”
- A jihadi reported that he came upon a fallen comrade in a strange posture: “I saw him smitten on the ground, and I watched as he lifted his fingers to the sky. I understood he was rejoicing, for he saw the Houris.”
- While waving his standard, another Muslim battalion leader told his men that a furious rush against the “Christian dogs” is synonymous with a “rush to the embraces of the Houris.”
Obsession over the Houris is not limited to arcane Islamic texts or ISIS (“which has nothing to do with Islam”). Over the years I have watched numerous videos of Muslim men discussing their excitement at the prospect of dying in the jihad and being rushed to the embraces of the supernatural celestial women. For an idea of how pervasive the Houri is in Islam, consider its impact on Muslim women, as demonstrated in a video of a Muslim cleric taking and answering questions via phone calls. A woman called in expressing outrage at the Houris, saying that she would be driven “mad with jealousy” seeing her husband copulating with these supernaturally beautiful women all day in heaven… Keep reading

Does Baghdadi have the authority to make such a promise? Won’t that make him, like, a prophet after muhammad?

Merely an adjustment for inflation. You cannot expect prices to remain stable. Look up the futures trading for Celestial Virgins on Wall Street. As Jihadist endeavors entail more risk, the appropriate award also needs to go up. Seems a very reasonable proposition to me.

DFD says
Hmh, an interesting subject to muse about.
Let’s begin by watching this fellow, smartening up in the expectation of meeting a houri.
https://youtu.be/yIxO8U8U48Y We can clearly deduct from this that houris are either brain dead or have the sexual preferences of cockroaches.
There is of course an additional possibility not to be dismissed in any serious study about houriism, and it is a rather sad situation facing any Muslim martyr. Here is the scenario I came up with:
JIHAD!
———.
Young, poor and dumb Muslim goes of to die. And thus to gain, whatever he fantasizes about or wishes, hopes and prays for. Just when it dawns on him that this is indeed the earthly end, he realizes that wealthy, not so dumb Muslim is going to inherit his wife and daughter… After all, wealthy, not so dumb Muslim struggled with his goods; as per the Quran. So, why should he put his neck on the line?
So, young, poor and dumb Muslim is a little bit disappointed, not much though. For an Imam/Mullah/Mufti etc., etc., tells him about the houris – and the boys of course. Thus our young, poor and dumb Muslim marches forth and gets killed. Or kills himself, suicide attack. Whatever, kaplonk!
OFF TO PARADIESE!
—————————–.
And here he meets – oh sh*t! Lots of Angela Merkel and Hillary Clinton look-a-likes… Wott?! Didn’t he know that Allah is the greatest, the best of deceivers?
He gets depressed, very depressed. OK, OK, he wanted to kill us, but still, shouldn’t we show forgiveness? Nay, compassion even! Well, think about it, this guy is to spend all eternity with the likes of Angela and Hillary, plus younger versions of Sarkozy and Obama. Oh, come on, have a heart.
Looking down he looks into Hell and sees partying, debauchery, and orgy upon orgy! Right, he petitions and insists upon, or rather down-on, going to Hell. Immediately he gets tortured, mutilated, repaired, tortured… During a break he asks one of the Hells Angels (no, not the bikers) about what he saw and what he expected and signed for. The angel laughs and says: “Are you really so naïve? That was a commercial.” He gets even more depressed, and even more so upon realization that you can’t kill yourself in the afterlife.
Flash! He will become a Christian. Hoping it’s not too late. But, he ought to be able to convince ‘them’ of his sincerity, after all, he is a master of taqyia, kitman, durana etc. Well, it’s the only thing he ever mastered.
Accepted! Now he can go to the place of honour dignity and decency, The Father’s House, as was promised by Jesus – so he thinks. “Quick, get me there!” he commands. And gets into an even worse part of Hell, where he meets Cardinal Wohlki, Pope Francis and even Mohammed. Shock and horror to the umpteenth power.
“But, but, but…” Laughter interrupts him; “Did I not tell you that I am the greatest deceiver of all? And down here, I run the show!”
Up there on earth, meanwhile so to speak, his sister gets an orgasm whilst screwing around with the wealthy, no so dumb Muslim – actually, neither of the two are Muslims, they are both hypocrites!
“Ahhhhhh – that felt goooood.” Exclaim the twain as if from one mouth……
Linde Barrera says
To DFD- As per your 8:42 am comment of Nov. 25, 2016, your scenario would make a great cartoon and should be broadcast on all tv stations everywhere. Would be quite shocking and eye-opening to many Muslims. And at the end of the cartoon I would add this quote with a picture of Jesus Christ on the cross: “For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage but are like angels in heaven. And as for the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was said to you by God, ‘I am the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob’? He is not God of the dead, but of the living’.” And when the crowd heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.- Matthew 22: 30-33.

It’s like being obsessed.with pin-up images, except that the pin-up girl really exists somewhere. These ‘celestial virgins’ were never any more than a con trick from Mohammed’s sex-obsessed imagination which these idiotic men swallow like sheep.
Mo says
What a sick, perverted “religion” this is. Why do women, especially, choose to follow it? I will never understand this!
Voytek Gagalka says
That indeed might explain ferocity of obsession with which young Muslim men are attracted to the perspective of sexual orgy in heaven while frequently than not they are forbidden those things here on earth. But how that can have any value for elder Mohammedan who stop to have any interest in sexual escapades for the simplest reason that their age and hormones ensure that it be so? How they can be “attracted” to that ideology and all that promises of Houris if their physiology denies them that possibility?
Shmooviyet says
Could be I’m mistaken, but thought I remembered a report that along with soda pop containers and naughty magazines, among UBL’s belongings was a stash of generic Viagra… maybe it was a rumour.
These dusty old followers surely have dim memories of youthful escapades, and must assume that those “month of May” abilities will be returned in paradise. Aren’t they convinced that the necessary equipment, alive and kickin’, accompanies them? (At least it sounds as though it fits in with MoMad’s descriptions.)
Walter Sieruk says
Islam’s doctrine of “celestial concubines” of which many jihad-minded Muslims males have such a firm ,blind and unquestioning and non-doubting faith in only reveals how thoroughly delusional they really are the deception of one of the many false doctrines of Islam. There are Muslim mind control places where Muslim males are thoroughly indoctrinated into the strong but blind and unquestioning faith in Koran with all non-watered down; hard core Islam with its militant jihad. Those places, “schools,” are called madrasas. In those Islamic mind programming centers young Muslim male are ingrain in the mindset Koranic dogma of the use of violence and killing for the advancement of Islam. As the Koran instructs. As in, for example, in 2:191. 9:5, 123. 47:4. Many of those who of such center are so much damaged that they are literally dangerous to self and others. As seen many times in jihad suicide, homicide bombing/attacks. For the Koran instructs in 9:111. “The believers fight in Allah’s Cause, they slay and are slain, they kill and are killed.” Furthermore, those mind programming places also ingrain the outlandish absurd Koranic doctrine of a sex-filled paradise with many virgins, houris, in it for the Muslim male who dies fighting for the cause of Islam in the jihad. Such a strange doctrine of a houris filled- place in found in the Koran in 44:54. 55:56. 78:31. Moreover, such Islamic mind programming centers are further explained about by the scholar Don Richardson in his book SECRETS OF THE KORAN which on pages 69,70. Informs the reader that “The world needs to be warned. At least forty million Muslim youth in the Muslim worlds’ religious schools, called madrasa, are avidly memorizing the entire Koran … These schools become breeding grounds for potential terrorists. When male students, isolated from family and friends in madrasa, reach puberty and their hormones are active, there are no girls to date. Instead, Muslim clerics easily shift to focusing the male student’s attention on Koranic verse that promises sex in heaven with dark-eyed houris. Students can only fantasize about martyrdom followed by the sexual release Muhammad promised. This is an unspeakably cruel brainwashing technique, and the Koran is its perfect guidebook.”
Walter Sieruk says
The Islamic mind programming centers ,which are mosque and madrasas, are so very insidious that those places of Islamic brainwashing into Islam many false doctrines. Such as of a “celestial paradise fulled with concubines” in the belives of young Muslims is extremely damaging to the extent the those who come out of those Islamic mind indoctrination centers are literally dangerous to self and others. This heinous and demonic harm is an Islamic affront to all the is good and right as well as rational and sane
billybob says
I was watching a David Wood video earlier today, recorded with his ex-Muslim friend Rashid. Rashid was explaining that what turned him from Islam was discovering that the Quran wasn’t preserved perfectly right down to the last vowel as he had been told. In fact, the earliest versions didn’t even have vowels. Also, many chapters were added and or discarded in a somewhat arbitrary process accompanied by vigorous disputes among the contributors.
I am wondering now, wouldn’t it have been the ridiculous notion of Islamic heaven that might be one of the strongest clues that all was not right with this religion? There doesn’t seem to be a place in this heaven for women, or even children. It is just so completely ridiculous and like it made up on the spot by Muhammad to motivate his troops. Once he told this whopper, he was stuck with it.
But on the other hand, if it’s really true, it sure beats playing harps in the Christian heaven 🙂
dhans says
It is not all that different from the Viking heaven Valhalla. There you get to hang with the real men, the Aesir, beautiful women (the Valkyries), drink mead, fight, feast on wild boar, and then get reborn every day. I like that even better than the Islamic heaven. Kind of like hanging out at a sports bar all the time with no consequences.
Angemon says
A key difference is that only brave warriors would get access to Valhalla, not cowards who murder babies in their cradles or blow themselves up in a crowd of civilians minding their own businesses.

davej says
Attention moronic zombie soldiers for Allah, get your jihad on, now with 4 extra imaginary whoris!
Islamic brainwashing is cruel and despicable but well designed and very effective on low IQ adolescent males.
If one had to design a religion from scratch to be as evil and inescapable as possible it would be hard to beat Islam. That alone makes me suspect a divine (Satanic) origin.
Eric Jones says
Islam is truly a doctrine from Hell. The Houris sexual partners is similiar to other folk lore of female demons called succubus. The succubus also have sex with men. Clearly Hell is the source of Mohammads doctrine.

UNCLE VLADDI says
Too bad for all those swarthy muslimas out there that racist Muhammad guaranteed that all the women in his heaven would by WHITE. I guess if you’re a non-white muslima, as most are, you’re going to the fire.
Better luck next time!

Unfortunately, there is insufficient reporting being delivered from that Islamic Paradise.
Things must be so great there that so far not one of those whoever gained admission
to that paradise ever came back to fully inform us about it.
Surely it is time that CNN, Sky News, BBC News and other networks who always inform us so well and with such sympathetic insight about things in the Jihadi Paradise send Christiane Amanpour,
Becky Anderson, Hala Gorani, Faisal Islam and Lies Deceit … oops Lyse Doucet to report to
us live from there.
citycat says
These Houris are not declitorised or wearing a burkha i presume. Who’s seen one?
It is so disrespectful to the wife of a Muslim that i wonder the Muslim man doesn’t get something in his tea to stop his sex drive.
The tyrant of Islam wants the followers to not have proper sex except for the male in his mind with the imaginary characters the Houris of the imaginary God.
All love must in to the Vampire, the extreme narcissist ‘love only me’
The wife is a baby machine for the Vampire. She doesn’t stray. The male has total right over her body, increasing the odds of producing babies for Allah.

solange silverman says
I wonder what Muslim women get in the next world. Do they also go to Muslim “heaven?” What if they were “martyrs?” Naturally, since it is Islam, you never hear a mention of this, because, for them, women are not people. I wonder, then, how they think they get male children, who are people, from women who are not. What a cult for the insane, making more insane every single day.
Carolyne says
OK, now that I understand Muslim men getting their reward, I want to describe the reward awaiting women. There will be 24 men who look like Gregory Peck and 20 more who look like Brad Pitt. They will spend eternity fanning me and putting grapes in my mouth and do any other chore I ask them to do. I will sit in a woven chair, not like the lawn chairs the dead Muslim men will have, but woven of gold. and there will be a fountain which flows with the best champagne. Forget that ginger stuff. From time to time one of the Brad or Gregory look -alikes will hand me a fluted bacarrat glass of this bubbly champagne and will join me. And we will often laugh at Mohammed and how much he missed by going with that Allah god thing.

Don’t these fanatics know anything about women? They need to get a job, be clean shaven, get their teeth cleaned and repaired, and take a shower! A change in clothing wouldn’t hurt either. Between the rotten mutton and diseased chicken they eat, they make a mouth full of Scottish haggis smell like perfume. For now, a 98 year old overweight and toothless Warez madam is what they can consider luck-in -love!
