"shahid"

*sha HEED*

.

(aka shaheed)

(Arabic: شهيد‎‎ šahīd, plural: شُهَدَاء šuhadāʾ ; female: šahīda)

.

(“shahid” originates from the Quranic Arabic word meaning “witness” and is also used to denote a ‘martyr’)

(it is used as a honorific for Muslims who have died fulfilling a religious commandment, especially those who die waging jihad, or historically in the military expansion of ‘Islam’)

(the act of martyrdom is “istishhad”)

(the word shahid in Arabic means “witness”)

(its development closely parallels that of greek martys (greek: μάρτυς – “witness”, in the ‘new testament’ also “martyr”), the origin of the term “martyr”)

.

(‘shahid’ occurs frequently in the ‘quran’ in the generic sense ‘witness’, but only once in the sense ‘martyr’ (“one who dies deliberately for his faith”))

.

.

*this latter sense acquires wider use in the ‘hadiths’*
