Deeply Imbedded in a Muslim's heart, is a yearn to depart and leave this tempting world in the best possible way. Regardless of how we ending up dying, there isn't anything comparable to the death of shaheed, atleast not in our shari3ah.
A shaheed is one who dies for the sake of Allah, and not for the sake of man or a group. No, the pleasure of demise is knowing that it is for the sake of the One you've worshipped and remembered for so long.
Ubada bin Samit (ra) narrates, that the Prophet (saw) said,
"The shaheed is granted seven gifts from Allah swt -
1. He is forigven at the first drop of his blood.
2. He sees his status in jannah.
3. He is dressed in the clothes of iman.
4. He is safe from the punishment of the grave.
5. He will be safe from the great fear of the Day of Judgement.
6. A crown of honour will be placed on his head.
7. He will intercede on behalf of 70 members of his family.
(Musnad Ahmed ,Tabrani, at-Targheeb wa at-Tarheeb, p.443, vol.2)
Narrated Abu Huraira (R), a man came to Allah's Messenger (saw) and said
"Instruct me as to such a deed as equals Jihaad (in reward).
He replied
"I do not find such a deed." Then he added,
"Can you, while the Muslim fighter is in the battlefield, enter your Mosque to perform prayers without cease and fast and never break your fast?"
The man said,
"but who can do that?"
Abu Huraira (ra) added,
"The Mujahid is rewarded even for the footsteps of his horse while it wanders about (for grazing) tied on a long rope."
(Sahih Bukhari, p.391, vol.1)
"But those who are killed in the way of Allah, He will never let their deeds be lost".
(Muhammad: 4)
