MUHAMMAD’S TEACHINGS TO MANKIND
“ The Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said, "A martyr is reserved six favors by God: his (1) sins are forgiven with the first spurt [of blood] and he sees his place in Paradise; he is protected from the torment of the grave; he is secured from the Greatest Terror (1); a crown of dignity is placed on his head, of which a ruby is better than the whole world and everything contained therein; he is wed to seventy-two of the fair, wide-eyed maidens of Paradise; and he is allowed to intercede for seventy of his relatives." Footnotes: (1): The same Greatest Terror referred to in chapter 21 [al-Anbiyāʼ], verse 103 of the Qur'ān. Scholars differ over what it is. One view is that it is the torment of the Hellfire. Another view is that it refers to the blowing of the trumpet, which will cause the end of the world. ”
