Children of Israel

"For this reason did We prescribe to the children of Israel that whoever slays a soul, unless it be for manslaughter or for mischief in the land, it is as though he slew all men; and whoever keeps it alive, it is as though he kept alive all men; and certainly Our apostles came to them with clear arguments, but  even after that many of them certainly act extravagantly in the land."

 ---The Holy Quran Chapter 5, Verse 32.

Martyrdom

“Do not say about those who are killed in the way of Allah, “They are killed.” Rather, they are alive, but you perceive not”. (The Holy Qur’an 2:154)

In other words it can be said that those who die in the process of defending the faith of Allah or executing a noble deed are evidence of the basic goodness of man. They become immortal though invisible and dear to Allah. Over the centuries, the concept of martyrdom (shahdat) has been exploited to worship graves and talk to the dead hoping that they would intercede with Allah and fulfill requests made to them. Quite often Muslims in a state of denial about someone’s death declare that person as a “shaheed” (martyr). In general if a large number of people are prepared to die or suffer for a definite cause, one can’t help wondering if that cause has some sense and legitimacy.
