Types of Martyrs in Islam

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) mentioned five types of people who are considered martyrs.

Abu Hurairah narrated that: The Messenger of Allah said: "The martyrs are five: Those who die of the plague, stomach illness, drowning, being crushed, and the martyr in the cause of Allah"
حَدَّثَنَا الأَنْصَارِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْنٌ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ سُمَىٍّ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ الشُّهَدَاءُ خَمْسٌ الْمَطْعُونُ وَالْمَبْطُونُ وَالْغَرِقُ وَصَاحِبُ الْهَدْمِ وَالشَّهِيدُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ أَنَسٍ وَصَفْوَانَ بْنِ أُمَيَّةَ وَجَابِرِ بْنِ عَتِيكٍ وَخَالِدِ بْنِ عُرْفُطَةَ وَسُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ صُرَدٍ وَأَبِي مُوسَى وَعَائِشَةَ ‏.‏ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى حَدِيثُ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ

QUICK LESSONS:
Strive towards righteousness ; Do good deeds ; Sacrifice your life for a greater cause ; Have fearlessness towards death .

EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ taught us that there are five types of people who are considered martyrs in Islam. These include those who die from the plague, stomach illness, drowning, being crushed and those who die while fighting for the cause of Allah. This hadith teaches us that even if a person dies due to natural causes or an accident, they can still be considered a martyr if their intention was to please Allah and do good deeds. It also encourages us to strive for the cause of Allah and not be afraid to sacrifice our lives for it. We should always remember that death is inevitable and we should strive to make our lives meaningful by doing good deeds so that we can become one of these five types of martyrs when we pass away.
