A Saudi Sheikh has attracted mockery and puzzlement after he publicly contemplated the vital statistics of heavenly breasts.
Sheikh Saleh Al-Jermin tweeted about Al-Hur Al-Ayn, the women who await all male believers in heaven, according to the Quran. However, he seemed rather preoccupied with the geometry of certain elements of the women’s anatomy.
The boobs of heavenly virgins, he said, didn’t sag like those of their mortal counterparts, and were also different in shape.
" وكواعب أترابا " النهود مكعبة ليست متدلية كنساء الدنيا . والأتراب أي في سن مستوية . ونعيم أبدي سرمدي لاينقضي أبد الآباد .

Full breasted companions of equal age and temperament. Their breasts are prominent, they don't hang like the breasts of earthly women. Equal to any age. The everlasting bliss will never end.
In classical Arabic Saleh’s tweet stresses the prominence of the virgin’s breasts, but the meaning was apparently lost on most 21st Century Twitter users. They opted for a more modern interpretation: that the boobs of heavenly virgins are cubed.
The apparent assertion of square mammaries elicited a cutting response across Twitter, under a hashtag meaning "the breasts of heavenly virgins are cubic".

Hey Sheikh, you’ve confused the description of paradise with the game Minecraft. May god be pleased with you!

The debate centred around Al-Hur Al-Ayn – virgins that, according to the Quran, await all believers in Heaven. It's not the first time the girls have created controversy. Although it's widely believed that 72 virgins are resident for every believer, for example, the number actually comes from a Hadith and the Quran itself does not specify a precise quantity.
