Mother praised Allah when she heard of her son’s Martydom-death in a terror attack
PA TV program Palestine This Morning on the subject of the numbered cemeteries (i.e., Israeli cemeteries for terrorists and enemy soldiers). The program interviews the mother of "Martyr" (Shahid) Ihab Abu Salim from the village Rantis, who carried out a terrorist attack in Jerusalem in 2003.
Mother of Ihab Abu Salim "I received the news of his death as a Martyr with a happy heart, because death comes to all of us- with Shahada (Martyrdom death for Allah) or without it. Praise to Allah – Allah chose what was best for him."
Interviewee: "When he died as a Martyr, we had a feeling of pain and separation along with pride, but after 9 years I think that we feel only pride."
Note: The Cemeteries for Enemy Casualties are two burial sites maintained by the Israeli army for burying the bodies of enemy soldiers as well as terrorists. They are fenced and well-marked. Graves have markers instead of gravestones. Burial is temporary, on the assumption that the bodies will eventually be returned to their countries of origin. No ceremony is held. The bodies are buried in numbered caskets, after their identities have been documented.
