3 Categories of Martyrdom and Their Virtues, What Category Do Palestinian Muslim Victims of Israeli Crimes Fall Into?

Dream - The ongoing conflict between Palestine and Israel certainly makes Dream's friends often hear the term "martyrdom". Especially this is addressed to the deceased victims of the Palestinian people.

Yes, martyrdom is usually associated with fighting in the name of Allah SWT or dying in the path of Allah SWT. As the Prophet Muhammad said: "What is meant by someone who dies a martyr among you?" The companions answered, "O Messenger of Allah, the one who dies in the path of Allah is the one who dies a martyr." He replied: "If that's the case, then very few of my followers will die as martyrs." The companions asked, "So who are they, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied: "Whoever is killed in the path of Allah is a martyr, and whoever dies in the path of Allah is also a martyr, whoever dies from cholera is also a martyr, and whoever dies from a stomach illness is also a martyr." (Narrated by Muslim)

Friends of Dream need to know as well, that martyrdom is divided into several categories. What are those categories? Here are some, as summarized by Dream from various sources.

Category of People who Died as Martyrs

"Those who die as martyrs are known as syuhada. These syuhada are the ones who receive glory from Allah SWT. Here are the categories of martyrs according to Ustadz Ali Lubis Al-Mandili, a graduate of Al-Ahgaff University of Yemen:"

1. Martyrdom in this World and the Hereafter

Syahid in this world and the hereafter is a person who dies in battle against the disbelievers. The deceased can be a man or a woman, mature or immature, and free or a slave. These are the categories of people who die as martyrs in this world and the hereafter: 1. Those who are killed by disbelievers. 2. Those who die because their arrow turns back and pierces their own body. 3. Those who die because the weapons of the Muslim army hit the wrong target.

The translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any HTML tags is as follows: People who are killed by infidels in war while being patient and helpless. People who die after the war enter into a ceasefire and the cause of their death is unknown, even though no traces of blood are found on their bodies.

2. Syahid Dunia

The translation of the given 'Bahasa' text to 'English' while preserving any HTML tags is as follows: "Syahid dunia is a person who dies as a result of fighting against disbelievers, but has embezzled the spoils of war. Or dies because of turning away from the battle and dies in battle but with the intention of showing off."

3. Martyrdom in the Hereafter

Martyrdom in the afterlife has several specific conditions, namely as follows:
1. A person who is killed in a cruel manner.
2. A person who dies due to diseases in the stomach, such as ulcers and so on.
3. A person who dies due to a plague (epidemic).
4. A person who dies by drowning.
5. A person who dies while being away from home.
6. A person who dies due to childbirth, even if the child born is illegitimate.

People who die because of love intoxication but with the condition that they take care of themselves (not committing sins because of love) and keep it buried within themselves. People who die while seeking knowledge even though they die on their own bed.

"Died as a Martyr in the Provisions of Fiqh"

Islam teaches about how to handle the body of a deceased Muslim, which is to wash it first and then perform the funeral prayer before burying it. However, it is different for someone who dies as a martyr.

"Worldly and hereafter martyrdom, or worldly martyrdom only, is forbidden to be washed and prayed for. The Prophet Muhammad said, 'Do not wash them (those who die as martyrs) because every wound or stab and their blood will emit the fragrance of musk on the Day of Judgment.' (HR. Ahmad) As for martyrdom in the hereafter, it is a communal obligation to perform the necessary rituals before burial, namely washing, shrouding, praying, and burying. On the other hand, Muslims who die in the conflict between Palestine and Israel are considered martyrs in both the worldly and hereafter sense. Their bodies do not need to be washed or prayed for, so they can be buried directly."

"The Virtue of Martyrdom"

People who die as martyrs have their own virtues. This is explained in the book Ar-Ruh, narrated by Imam Ibn Majah and At-Turmuzi. Here are some virtues of dying as a martyr:

The following 'Bahasa' text translated to 'English' while preserving any html tags: "His sins are forgiven through the drops of his blood. Shown his place in heaven. Saved from the torment of the grave and saved from the horrors of the Day of Judgment with the sun brought near. Wearing a crown in the afterlife. Awaited and welcomed by 72 heavenly maidens. Able to intercede among his family members up to 70 people."
