Posted: Sun Jan 25, 2009 7:22 pm
Dear Dr. Sahib, Assalmo Alikum, I hope you are fine. I do read your blog regulary and enjoy your website and books. I was wondering If you could kindly help in the matter of understanding the concept of Martyrdom.IS the concept of Martyrdom is Islamic?If it is then what is consider Martyrdom? Nowadays whenever some is killed, he or she is called as being Martyr. Is there a certain criteria for becoming a Martyr. Do people who get killed in accidents are consider Martyr, or do you have to be in war to become one? If one has to be in a war to become a Martyr, then what is the criteria of a war as nowaday every one claims to be in war scenario, politically or region wise. If a muslim kills another muslim in suicide attacks are the fatalities consider Martyrs?Could you please help me understand the concept as it is very confusing for me.Thank you
