Islam: Truth or Myth? start page

Jesus Christ

Muhammad

The Bible describes heaven, through the word pictures of a beautiful city, a garden paradise, but never in base sensual ways. Rev 22:12-17

Heaven, as promised in the Quran describes men drinking endless quantities of wine and sex with women to which he is not married (Suras 2:25; 4:57; 11:23; 47:15). We wonder why Muslims will not drink wine or commit adultery on their wives now? Does eternity make these sins right? This view of heaven is common and earthly and originates from the mind of men, not God. As Morey puts it: "The Quran's picture of paradise is exactly what a seventh-century pagan Arab would have thought wonderful."
