There is no mention of seventy-two virgins anywhere in the Qur’an.

One can find sexual pleasure with seventy-two wives in Paradise only in hadith books and the Holy Bible mentioning ten virgins and a hundred wives.

From: Sunan Ibn Majah
Chapter No. 40, The Chapters on Ascetism (Zuhd) Hadith No 4337

Narrated/Authority of Abu Umamah that the Messenger of Allah (saw) said: “There is no one whom Allah will admit to Paradise but Allah will marry him to seventy-two wives, two from houris and seventy from his inheritance from the people of Hell, all of whom will have desirable front passages and he will have a male member that never becomes flaccid (i.e., soft and limp).”

The number in the Holy Bible mentioning the ten virgins and a hundred wives for Christians in Heaven.

THE HOLY BIBLE –

Matthew 25:1-10 Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: But the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. But the wise answered, saying, Not so; lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut.

And here is a hundred wives promised by the Biblical God Jesus in Heaven –

Matthew 19:29 And everyone that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive a hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.

The process of sexual relationship to produce babies will not happen as the population will not increase anymore in heaven. So the scenerio is more of companionship as that of Adam and Eve before they ate the forbidden fruits.

S7:189 It is He Who created you from a single person, and made his mate of like nature, in order that he might dwell with her in love. When they are united, she bears a light burden and carries it about (unnoticed). When she grows heavy, they both pray to Allah their Lord, saying: “If Thou give us a goodly child, we vow we shall be grateful.”

Both Adam and Eve had sex only after they ate the forbidden fruits to produce babies on earth.

As there is no sexual intercourse in  Heaven, the rewards will be the same for Muslim men and women to enjoy their companionship together in Heaven.

S4:124 If any do deeds of righteousness, be they male or female and have faith, they will enter Heaven, and not the least injustice will be done to them.

S13:22-24 And those who are patient, seeking the countenance of their Lord, and establish prayer and spend from what We have provided for them secretly and publicly and prevent evil with good those will have the good consequence of this home. Gardens of perpetual residence; they will enter them with whoever were righteous among their fathers, their spouses and their descendants. And the angels will enter upon them from every gate, saying, Peace be upon you for what you patiently endured. And excellent is the final home.”
