Martyrdom is not confined to Islam, but it is an eminent truth that man has felt since the beginning of time and it has been a certainty that man has lived with. When the defense of one’s motherland, honor, and dignity turns into meaningful ideals, martyrdom will be something much more than mere death. In fact, it is the defense of one’s culture, religion, and beliefs, and it is dying while upholding such beliefs that turn mere death into martyrdom. Such a person, a martyr, is for ever alive and watching over his people. Martyrdom is a personal affair and is entirely the outcome of man’s freewill. It is an intelligible concept which God has left as a deposit in man’s being.

Martyrdom and seeking martyrdom with full knowledge and freewill is an event in acknowledgement and recognition of the goals and the high ideals of man in defense of humans and humanity, the safeguarding of those ideals, and being steadfast in the path of watching over human honor and human dignity.

A martyr will keep as the queen of his ideals, the revival of freedom, justice, equality, and the stabilization of the rights of man. Martyrdom is an act of self sacrifice which has as its source an exalted and honorable goal.

A martyr shall never die, being a witness and watching over his society.
