The never-ending myth revolving around the "72 virgins" in Islam has been at the center of debate for decades ... and one imam recently decided to bring that dispute to an end.

Mohammad Tawhidi, an Australian-Iraqi Muslim preacher, recently shared a tweet in which he dissed the "72 virgins" theory which many believe to be an Islamic notion.



Tawhidi debunked the concept and explained how its sole purpose is to perpetuate misogyny.

The tweet has since gone viral, garnering over 2,000 re-tweets at the time of writing.

"God cannot 'reward' men with women, because women aren't objects," Tawhidi said in a statement to StepFeed.

"God informed us of grapes, rivers, delicious food and other things that will be in heaven. He also informed us of opposite genders. It doesn't mean that they're at our disposal," he added.
