Explaining Martyrdom
Martyrdom in terms of relevant and necessary perspectives.
1. There are 1.5 billion Muslims in the world and one has to understand their psychological states of each & every Muslim and put oneself into their shoes and reflect on how each Muslim would think when s/he is faced [interpret] with the verses of the Quran directly or indirectly [via clergies and sermons].
2. The central core of Islam and being a Muslim per se is leveraged primarily on the Quran.
Thus to be a truer [or as perfect as possible] Muslim can only meant the degree and intensity of one's compliance to the dictate within the Quran. We can then rate the 1.5 billion Muslims in term of High, Medium, or Low compliance.
3. The measure and rating of one's compliance is on the Last Day, i.e. Judgment Day in the hereafter. The performance of each Muslim in the World is graded in degrees and ranked. e.g.[INDENT]56.7 [B]And you become [of] three kinds[/B]
[/INDENT][INDENT] i.e. in terms of compliance
1. [B]Highest[/B] - First Class honors - on the right hand [B]56:10[/B]
2. [B]Medium[/B] - Moderate Muslims - on the right hand [B]56:8[/B]
3. [B]Low[/B] - Sinners and infidels - on the left hand. [B]56:9[/B]
[/INDENT]4. A Muslim is on a [B]Journey[/B] [journeying] and started off from a very real [and subliminal] horrible psychological state of terrible fears and terror on Earth and the worst of it awaits Muslims on the Last Day.[many prominent verses on this]
5. The Quran promote itself as having the ability [via the power of Allah] to ease the terrible angst of the Muslims. Muslims are invited to sign a contract [covenant] with Allah with a promise of internal Peace [relieved from angst] with eternal life and relished with superlative rewards [virgins included] in Paradise.
[B]In exchange a Muslim MUST COMPLY with whatever is stipulated by Allah in the Quran, and his performance will be rated on Judgment Day.[/B]
6. Now, what is stipulated in the Quran include verses that condone [B]martyrdom[/B] and carry the higher weightages and ratings that will give the Muslim a greater security of gaining First Class Honor on Judgment Day. i.e. re [B]56:10[/B]
7. There are 1.5 billion Muslims and they come with different psychological profile [1], if 20% have the urge to consider this higher merit point from martyrdom, then there is a pool of 300 million Muslims have the impulse to do it. I mentioned the most likely are from the pool of the 45 million pool. There are many other potential pool in terms of millions.
8. It is from the potential pools of malignant martyrdom that we get the reality of the terrible evils and violence that are committed by suicide-bombers.
9. True, people with an agenda will exploit the above. In the first place such martyrdom verses should not be in any holy texts of any religions to be available for exploitation.
10. However with the drive for higher merit points, SOME Muslims will hope or unconsciously create or misperceived situations to give themselves the opportunity to execute martyrdom to expedite and realize their security in heaven with as a First Class Honor Muslim [56:7].
11. Note: There is no central authority [& Allah is not available on hand] to decide whose interpretation is right or wrong. The jihadist will thus go the extra mile to ensure greater compliance.
From the above, it is obvious. Strictly in accordance to the Quran, the greater a Muslim comply to what is stipulated in the Quran [especially those with higher ratings] the greater will Allah be VERY pleased with him in fulfilling the terms of his contract of salvation at the highest level.

[FONT=Times New Roman][COLOR=black][COLOR=black][FONT=Calibri]Suicide is against Islam. Martyrdom is not. [/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=black][FONT=Calibri]"Suicide bomber" is a derogatory term invented in the West to try and describe what in Islam is known as a [B]Fedayeen[/B] or [B]Shahid[/B] - amartyr. The point of the bomber isn't suicide - it is to kill infidels in battle. This is not just permitted by Muhammad, but encouraged with liberal promises of earthy rewards in heaven, including food and sex.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[B][COLOR=black][FONT=Calibri]The Qur'an:[/FONT][/COLOR][/B]
[COLOR=black][FONT=Calibri][B]Qur'an (4:74) -"Let those fight in the way of Allah who sell the life of this world for the other. Whoso fighteth in the way of Allah, be he slain or be he victorious,on him We shall bestow a vast reward."[/B][/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=black][FONT=Calibri][B]Qur'an (9:111) - "Allah hath purchased of the believers their persons and their goods; for theirs (in return) is the garden ( of Paradise): they fight in His cause, and slay and are slain: a promise binding on Him in truth, through the Law, the Gospel, and the Qur'an: and who is more faithful to his covenant than Allah? then rejoice in the bargain which ye have concluded: that is the achievement supreme."[/B][/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=black][FONT=Calibri][B]Qur'an (2:207) - "And there is the type of man who gives his life to earn the pleasure of Allah..."[/B][/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=black][FONT=Calibri][B]Qur'an (61:10-12) "O ye who believe! Shall I lead you to a bargain that will save you from a grievous Penalty? That ye believe in Allah and His Messenger, and that ye strive (your utmost) in the Cause of Allah, with your property and your persons: That will be best for you, if ye but knew! He will forgive you your sins, and admit you to Gardens beneath which Rivers flow, and to beautiful mansions in Gardens of Eternity: that is indeed the Supreme Achievement." [/B]This verse was given at the battle Uhud anduses the Arabic word, Jihad.[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=black][FONT=Calibri][B]The dark-eyed virginsare mentioned in several places as well, including verses 44:54 and 52:20. For those who swing the other way,there are"perpetual youth" verse 6:17, otherwise known as"boys"verses 52:24 and 76:19.[/B][/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=black][FONT=Calibri][B]Qur'an (17:33) "And do not kill the soul which Allah has forbidden, except by right" [/B][/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=black][FONT=Calibri][B]An important verse that is used by Shahid to not only justify their own deaths, but that of other bystanders who might be believers as well. The end justifies the means, with the goal being thedefeat of the kafir and the establishment of Islamic rule.[/B][/FONT][/COLOR]
