Salam

I too wish to die as a martyr. And before anyone asks, that does NOT mean a cowardly, terrorist suicide bomber killing women and children.

Learn about the Mercy of Allah!

1) In a report jointly reported by Imam al-Bukhari and Muslim, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned five types of martyrs: “One who dies in a plague, one who dies of intestinal ailments, one who dies of drowning, one who dies under a collapsed building, and one who dies as a martyr in jihad.”

2) Imam Ahmad, Abu Dawud, an-Nasa’i, and others stated that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “There are seven martyrs”. Having said this, he added the following to the list mentioned above: “…one who dies in a fire” and “…a woman who dies during child-birth.”

3) A third report states that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Whoever dies while defending his own possessions is a martyr; whoever dies defending his own person is a martyr; whoever dies guarding his own faith is a martyr; whoever dies fighting in order to defend his own family is also a martyr.”

4) Finally, in a report by an-Nasa’i, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “Whoever fights to protect his rights and dies in the process is a martyr.”

I have a question.

If a Muslim female virgin blows herself up along with a number of innocents, does she get 72 experienced men as her reward?

	Well, I hope you die peacefully and painlessly in your bed, mourned by your great-great-grandchildren. But how do you envision this happening, True? In what circumstances would you die as a martyr?

	basically, a martyr is someone who dies defending his/her faith. the different ways don't matter--it's the concept of dying for God, that implies martyrdom. hope that helps, Rhoda?

	So it sounds that most people who die violently can be considered martyrs. I don't wish that on anyone. But I'm quite serious. Hamayoun, TrueM, mai, can you give me some examples? Do you wish the same for your children and friends? This is hard for me to comprehend.
