There are basically two broad categories of Shaheed
(shuhada') in Islam, firstly, those who have died fighting for the cause of Allah (i.e., in jihad), and secondly, those who have died being succumbed to certain types of ailments or calamities, not of their own making.
The second group, although not recognized and treated as Shaheed in this world, will receive rewards of Shaheed in the Hereafter. As for a list of people of this category, we find a number of traditions—although not contradictory—such as the following:
1) In a report jointly reported by Imam al-Bukhari and Muslim, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned five types of Shaheed: "One who dies in a plague, one who dies of intestinal ailments, one who dies of drowning, one who dies under a collapsed building, and one who dies as a martyr in jihad."
2) Imam Ahmad, Abu Dawud, an-Nasa'i, and others stated that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "There are seven Shaheed". Having said this, he added the following to the list mentioned above: "…one who dies in a fire" and "…a woman who dies during child-birth."
3) A third report states that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Whoever dies while defending his own possessions is a martyr; whoever dies defending his own person is a martyr; whoever dies guarding his own faith is a martyr; whoever dies fighting in order to defend his own family is also a martyr."
4) Finally, in a report by an-Nasa'i, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Whoever fights to protect his rights and dies in the process is a martyr."
Imam Ibn Hajar states, "we can conclude from these traditions that Shaheed are of two types: Those who are recognized as Shaheed in this world, and those who are recognized as Shaheed only in the Hereafter. A martyr recognized in this world is one who has died fighting in the cause of Allah without having retreated from the battle. But those who are recognized only in the Hereafter are those upon whom the laws of martyrdom are not applicable in this world, although they merit rewards of martyrdom."
According to Imam an-Nawawi, "The second category of Shaheed will receive rewards of martyrdom, and yet unlike the Shaheed of jihad, they will be bathed (before burial) and prayed over."
From the above discussion, however, one is advised not to jump to the conclusion that everyone who dies in similar circumstances as mentioned above will automatically merit rewards of martyrdom. Such an inference is not valid, since Allah's acceptance of a person ultimately depends on his or her state of faith or iman as well as upon the way he or she has responded to the will of Allah at the time of death. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "A person is raised up in the Hereafter in the state he has passed away
MAY ALLAH SHOW US THE RIGHT PATH AND PROTECT US FROM DECLARING EVERYBODY SHAHEED
ALLAH and rasoollah Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him knows the best

Dear Naveed! Please read carefully the Quran-e-Pak & Ahadees-e-Nabawi (Sallalahu Alaihe Wa Alaihi Wa Sallam) to know the defination of Shaheed. The Quran-e-Pak & Ahadees-e-Nabawi (Sallalahu Alaihe Wa Alaihi Wa Sallam) are the final authority to declaration of Shaheed, Muslim, Kafir & Munafiq. Kindly give up your such blasphemy attitude which has adopted by salman taseer.

And now you will decide who is Muslim and who is not? Who gave you this authority? Don't you think you are claiming to have an authority which is not given to you? It's blasphemy.
Now if you say a blasphemous should be killed, kill yourself to show that you really care about blasphemy.

Subject: **JP** killers need to be punished -shameful act of goverment and shareef & co. to appease their lordsJust look at the reality, an agent, a spy with acomplices have been caught red handed spying, conducting suspicious activities near our borders with india and then engaged suddenly in the killings of three innocent Pakistanis, caught by police and with the killer weapon, and with other sophisticated equipment used in espionage. Here starts the shameful story of our politicians going past each other. first we all know the ameriki pleasing posture of the moles of our government, including Zardri, Gilani and the interior minister...pathetic..the only attempt is to somehow get the man out of jail and free him to appease the lords!! but Punjab government is way ahead of these moles. Mr. shareef & co. was busy framing the innocents as dacoits and made the police register a case showing them as dacoits....to weaken the case somehow...and to appease their lords in the embassy.....what more filth are we going to witness, when Pakistanis are being openly killed (the guy after killing got out, took photographs of the dead people) and the absconders are being hidden in the embassy with no effort of our country to get them out and talk about the illegally held Pakistanis in ameriki jails.....but the evidence is out there...this CIA agent is neither a diplomat (see the article) nor had anything to do with any self defence...when he killed the poor people in their heads from behind with 7 shots while their pistols were not even cocked...now it is up to the nation to react and freely if these moles and politicians act to further appease their ameriki lords.... (all have been hiding in the caves) except Imran Khan.....and another question is, are the diplomats free to conduct criminal activities and kill people and then demand to be above any laws?
