Excerpt from article linked below:
Zakaria first asks: “The Quran promises a martyr in the name of Islam, 72 virgins. Is that true?”
And Manji’s response: “It is not true.”
Zakaria, to the audience: “Manji says that several scholars studying the original text came to a startling realization.”
Manji then went on: “Nowhere in the Quran does it promise 72 virgins, 70 virgins, 48 virgins. What it promises, as far as heaven goes … The Arabic word for ‘virgin’ has been mistranslated. The original [word] that was used in the Quran was the word for raisin, not virgin. In other words, that martyrs would get raisins in heaven, not virgins.”
