Islamic Martyrdom and Talibani ‘Martyrs’
By Ghulam Rasool Dehlvi, New Age Islam
November 20, 2013
The ongoing Islamic
month of Muharram marks a turning point in the history of Islam. It is
the auspicious month when the saviour of Islam from the clutches of
evil, Imam Hussain ibn Ali (r.a) attained martyrdom in its truest and
fullest sense. But today, with the Islamist terrorists rearing their
ugly head in the disguise of Mujahideen (jihadists), randomly killing
and beheading innocent civilians, launching suicide attacks on both
Muslims and non-Muslims, and yet loudly claiming to be “martyrs”, the
very noble Islamic doctrine of martyrdom faces a plethora of questions.
One is aghast at the wanton killing of innocent children, women and old
citizens, most of them being Muslims, in almost all the Muslim countries
in a crazy bid to earn martyrdom and get free entry to paradise.
