Ha.

Heard after taking a good look at the new arrivals, the 72 virgins in the afterlife all said “I have a headache.”


The myth of β€œ72 virgins in Paradise” for a male martyr is just that, appearing nowhere in the Qur’an.

Better for them would be finding fireproof material for their laabaadehs or qabaas. They will be taking a dip in the Lake of Fire.πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯πŸ”₯

Now, for all of us who wondered:

A Guardian article on Agha Arabpour commented: β€œYou may have noticed (ex)President Khatami always wears the labbaadeh but the Supreme Leader [Ali Khamanei] prefers the qabaa”. Here are the details: β€œBoth the labbaadeh and the qabaa are long and come down to the top of the slippers (this is the case for traditional clerics who do not wear trousers; for those who do, the robe comes down to the middle of the legs). But whereas the qabaa has a V-neck and one side crosses the other at the waist, the more expensive labbaadeh has a high, round collar, tighter sleeves and stiff panelling in the chest area so that it looks very tailored. Many believe that the high-collared version is directly influenced by the robes of the Orthodox and Catholic priests in Lebanon, where large Christian and Muslim communities coexist.”
