Some Quran scholars say that the word "virgin" in the Quran is actually a mistranslation of the word for "raisin". The word "hur" was used in the Quran, and early commentators interpreted it to mean "virgins". However, in Aramaic, "hur" means "white" and was often used to refer to "white grapes".
Here are some details about the interpretation of the word "hur" in the Quran:
The Syro-Aramaic Reading of the Koran
In this 2007 book by Christoph Luxenberg, the word "hur" is interpreted to refer to pure white grapes or raisins.
The context
Luxenberg's analysis suggests that the context makes it clear that the offer is of food and drink, not virgins.

Back in 1990s. My cousin,, I have no contact with since the 90s. He let me and my dad use his defective car for driving test. Me and my dad quickly found out, seat belt was broken on passenger side. Driver side seat was unstable. Mirror was defective on driver side. My dad told me this heap of junk won't pass. My cousin tried to convince us his car wasn't defective. Even his brakes were weak. Surprised no accident happened to my former cousin.
My brother told me once. My dad was waiting at Red light. He looked in his rear view mirror. Saw car up hill, smoke every where. Car was headed for for my dad car. So my dad risked crossing traffic to get away. My understanding is, the car with smoke didn't have brakes. That car didn't stop, and kept going. My dad thought that car should be in junkyard.
On vacation in Virginia in 2008. I used GPS. I was confused about to get to Plymouth. So I pulled over to two female security guards. I explained something is wrong with my GPS and I'm going in wrong direction. She explained to me how to get to Plymouth. The other security guard was laughing hysterical. I was bewildered, and confused. A big rig came, and she tells me to park over the lot, temporarily. I park over there, and kept thinking about it. The other female guard is still laughing her head off.
I told myself, hell with it, ill go another place. I start driving off down road, opposite direction. The gaurd starts yelling at me, Your going the wrong way, come back !!!! . The other female guard, is bent over laughing.
10 minutes later. I pulled into convience store. Went inside, and asked the clerk about this. He had parrot near by, and saying, who are you. ? When I got back in car. I realized, I typed the wrong place in on GPS. I was really fatigued and confused.
I bet both security guards and the parrot are wondering who the hell was that guy ??
