Video: A Palestinian mother instructs her son how to become a Martyr

Itamar Marcus  |

This is the video of a mother who upon hearing about her son's desire to die as a Martyr, instructed him on how to prepare himself religiously to assure Allah would agree to accept him as a Martyr: 

“The day before [my son’s] injury [from which he died], he told me: ‘I want to go to the Balata refugee camp [near Joseph's Tomb], and I'll come back to you as a Martyr.’ I laughed at him and told him: ‘Do you think being a Martyr is something trivial? Go bathe, pray, bow down to Allah, and then there might be a chance that Allah will agree to accept you [as a Martyr].’ The following night he came back to me as a Martyr. Praise Allah.”
