“Indeed, Allah has bought from the believers their lives and their wealth, because the garden will be theirs, they will fight in the way of Allah and will kill and be killed.” (Qur’an 9:111)
“Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger as saying: ‘The last hour would not come unless the Muslims will fight against the Jews and the Muslims would kill them until the Jews would hide themselves behind a stone or a tree and a stone or a tree would say: Muslim, or the servant of Allah, there is a Jew behind me; come and kill him; but the tree Gharqad would not say, for it is the tree of the Jews.’” (Sahih Muslim 2922)
“Colorado Islamic Scholar Karim AbuZaid: Muslims Should Not Shy Away From Talking About Martyrdom, There Is A Prize For Being Killed For The Sake Of Allah – It’s Like The Airline Upgrading You From Economy To First Class,” MEMRI, November 10, 2023:
Colorado Islamic scholar Karim AbuZaid said in a November 10, 2023 Friday sermon streamed live on the Facebook page of the Colorado Muslims Community Center that Muslims should not shy away from talking about martyrdom. He said that people in the West taunt Muslims about the 72 “women” that martyrs receive in Paradise, but “there is a prize for those who die in the cause of Allah.” AbuZaid continued to paint an image of Gazans hiding from the bombings and then becoming martyrs in Paradise. He said that it is like being upgraded from economy to first class by the airline, and he added: “Don’t worry about them.”
AbuZaid stated that Israeli soldiers are cowards, that’s why they are fighting women and children from airplanes. Referring to the hadith about the trees and the rocks in the End of Time, he said that Allah will give the Muslims drones too, meaning rocks that will tell them where the Jews are hiding. The sermon was also streamed live on the social media accounts of SAFA USA, Al-Minhaal Academy, and Authentic Ilm Mission.
Karim AbuZaid: “We started shying away from talking about martyrdom, because now the West at one stage, [asks]: ‘Oh, you guys want to get the seventy-two… You guys want to get the 72 women in Paradise?’ So Muslims now shy away from talking about martyrdom for the sake of Allah, dying in the cause of Allah. Yes, there is a prize for those who die in the cause of Allah.

“If you ask a martyr, while he is in Paradise: ‘What is your wish?’ He will say: ‘I want to go back to this world and be killed in the cause of Allah, and go back and to be killed in the cause of Allah.’ That’s martyrdom, those people believe that. Imagine, all of the sudden… Look at these guys, they have bombed their homes, they have no homes, and they are fleeing from the bombs…
[…]
“Imagine, so here you are in this world, looking for a place to hide, and all of the sudden, you find yourself in Paradise. The prophet said that the souls of the martyrs are in bellies of birds, they fly wherever they want to go in Paradise.
[…]
“You know, they received an upgrade. You booked economy and the airline tells you: ‘We upgraded you to first class.’ Don’t worry about them.
[…]
“These cowards, we know that, we have seen the videos, they go and fight those few… Yes, they are under the ground, they can’t stand in their face, they beat them up, they run away, so they go and take their anger out on women and children.
[…]
“He can only fight you from behind a wall, an airplane. Now, they don’t even fly the airplane, they have something…
[…]
“Remember, one day Allah will give Muslims drones too – rocks. A rock, one day, will call upon the Muslim: ‘Come, behind me there is [a Jew].’ A drone, that is a drone. The rock will call a Muslim: ‘Come, he is behind me.’
[…]
“Oh Allah, we ask You to support our oppressed Mujahideen brothers fighting for Your cause.
[…]
“Oh Allah, shake the ground beneath their enemies’ feet. Oh Allah, shake the ground beneath their enemies’ feet. Oh Allah, give them the necks [of their enemies]. Oh Allah, make the plots of the Zionists – the Arabs and others – backfire on them.”
