Shaheed (Arabic: شهيد šahīd, plural: شهداء šuhadā') is a religious term in Islam, that literally means "witness". It is a title that is given to a Muslim after his death, if he died during the fulfillment of a religious commandment, or during a war for the religion. In addition to its religious connotation, the term is also commonly used in the Indian subcontinent by Hindus and Sikhs as the equivalent of martyr. Arab Christians use the term to describe persons killed on duty or during wars. In this case, the term equals the term martyr.

The shaheed is considered as one whose place in Paradise is promised, according to the verse in the Qur'an "Think not of those who are slain in Allah's way as dead. Nay, they live, finding their sustenance in the presence of their Lord." ("Aal-e-Imran" sura, verse 169).

A martyrdom operation is a military or terrorist attack in which the attacker is expected to die; most often a suicide bombing. The term is used by armed Muslim militants, or other similar or related groups. Islamist militants use this term as they do not see their attacks as an act of suicide, which is prohibited by Islam. While most combat involves a chance of death, a "martyrdom operation" implies a deliberate act of self-sacrificial suicide and a systematic form of terrorism. The term is a neologism.

In Arabic, suicide bombings or martyrdom operations are called Shuada or Is-shtahad, both coming from the root Shaadi ("Testimony") that refers to the act of declaring one's belief in Islam. The suicide bombers are called "Shahids" and after their death attain the rank of a Martyr. However, the majority of Muslims reject their attaining the status of martyrdom and instead view these people as simply committing murder

  • I bet Arabs don't even know that they don't even belong there considering that it was their ancestors who invaded and conquered the region and proceeded after a period of time to exile every single native who were Incidently enough Jews and Hebrews. Brainless Arabs get out of Palestine the region doesn't belong to you..you have no right nor claim to it. Get out and crawl back to the sand dunes that your ancestors crawled out of. From Ireland comes a GIANT fuck you to your murderous kind.

  • Salam, I notice the abuse of power of the Zionists in you .. be, for defending the truth, my friend has been sanctioned in this web account

    They think that just wins. the truth is this:

    1 - know what their fears and where is their true image. their fear is to tell others the truth about them.

    2 - know how they react, and his damn force, so avoid their nasty reprisals. As one Moroccan proverb. "they tell you, we have cheated and surpassed to you, and you will answer, through I have known as you"
