". . .and their eyes shall be upon him (the shaheed)"

Somewhere there is a hidden hadith which describes the rewards of the shaheed in paradise. One of which is, doubtless, that those who persecuted the Muslim for his beliefs, the one's he killed during his martyrdom; will spend eternity watching him enjoy his reward for faithfulness.

If the Muslim is a true martyr - one killed for his beliefs, then this is just. If, however he has violated the holy Qu'ran by killing innocents or other Muslims; then it is those innocents who constantly watch over him. Each time he attempts to find pleasure with one of the virgins, it is their reproachful gaze that causes his member to fall flat. Every time he tries to eat of the unlimited banquet or drink from the flowing streams of sweet intoxicating beverage; it is those same innocent eyes that cause the food to taste like animal excrement and the wine to only whet further his thirst.

One may fool oneself about the real motivations for and consequences of one's choices; but Allah is not deceived.

If only those seeking that false path to paradise understood what sort of Hell awaited them; they would flee, the way one does from Shaitan, from the drug pushers who sell "The Infidels ate your homework." to ensnare them to their destruction and the destruction of Islam.
