Serious question about this topic: I'm reading on Britannica on the topic of "Last Judgment" and came upon this portion:
Islam likewise is rich in its imagery and conceptual expansion of the doctrine of the Last Judgment. The Day of Judgment is one of the five cardinal beliefs of Muslims. After death, persons are questioned about their faith by two angels: Munkar and Nakīr. If a person has been a martyr, his soul immediately goes to paradise; others go through a type of purgatory. At doomsday all persons will die and then be resurrected to be judged according to the records kept in two books, one containing a person’s good deeds and the other his evil deeds. According to the weight of the book that is tied around a person’s neck, he will be consigned to paradise or to hell.
Do radical islamists use this teaching as a way of using their mass suicide runs as martyrdom in the hopes of immediately going to heaven?
How do regular Muslims view this area of martyrdom? Do average Muslims try to be a martyr (by whatever means) in an attempt to go to heaven?
Or is this article fundamentally wrong or misleading?
