#1 there are some differences between voluntary and involuntary martyrs in Islamic theology

it is complicated and there are differences of opinion

however, it is pretty clear that only the voluntary martyrs who are killed in battle defending Islam will be able to sit with the prophets in heaven

others will, however, receive rewards and perhaps more importantly, much less or even zero punishment in purgatory

#3 voluntary and involuntary martyrs

There was this case of four mujahids entering our western border [through the Thar desert] a few years before the Kargil war. A BSF squad caught them, shot them in the legs and left them to crawl back across. They noticed they were trying to still limp and crawl forward. So they killed them and buried them in the desert.

Sometimes nomads will see men limping and dragging themselves making furrows in the sand. When they go near, the shapes are gone but the furrows remain. Interestingly, nomads say sometimes the spirit continues to appear even up close. In that case you beat at it with a stick and it fades. Thing is, the grunts had beaten them to death with sticks [because they have to account for every bullet].

Then there was the 24 year old jihadi guy, an engineering major in Bangalore, who was building bombs in his friend's apartment. He would mumble prayers while assembling the devices. He was offed by Karnataka police, in that same apartment. For months the tenants of the apartment next door heard him mumbling his prayers. Until the landlord had a big ritual exorcism of some sort.

Hearsay? I know. But nice to know.

#4 When jihadis die they go to hell. It’s as simple as that.
