While investigating facts about Martyrs 72, I found out little known, but curios details like:

In my opinion, it is useful to put together a list of the most interesting details from trusted sources that I've come across. Here are 10 of the best facts about Martyrs 72 I managed to collect.

1. Scholars of Aramaic argue that the Qur'an is mistranslated: the original Aramaic word doesn't promise martyrs an award of 72 virgins in heaven, it promises them 72 raisins.
