About This Book:

AbdurRahman Mahdi's "Martyrdom in Jihad versus Suicide Bombing" takes readers on a captivating journey into a key contemporary issue: the use of violence and self-sacrifice in the context of jihad. This thought-provoking book dives extensively into the complexities of martyrdom within the Islamic faith, attempting to distinguish it from the contentious and frequently deadly phenomena of suicide bombing.

Getting to the Heart of Jihad

We trace the historical evolution of jihad, study its multifaceted theological conceptions, and investigate the moral and ethical factors that underpin this complex concept in the first chapter.

An Increase in Suicide Bombings

This Book delves into the surge of suicide bombing, investigating its origins, spread, and the myths surrounding the misreading of jihad and Shahada.

Demystifying Misconceptions

In this book, we define suicide bombing, compare it to martyrdom, and investigate theological arguments against it.

Study of Cases

In this part, we give profiles of both famous martyrs and notable suicide bombers from history, providing insight into their motivations and discussing the different legacies they leave behind.

Terrorism Detection and Prevention

This part dives into global attempts to resist suicide bombings, radicalization techniques, and how to promote a correct view of jihad and martyrdom.

A Request for Reevaluation
