    What does the Quran say about martyrdom?
    Muslims believe that they should go to war because in the
    Quran it says anyone dying in a just war will go straight to
    heaven. This makes Muslims believe they should go to war
    because they are reassured that they will be forgiven by
    Allah.

    If Muslims are attacked, what must they do? Where


    does it say this and why is that important?
    Did Muhammad fight?
    Find a hadith about going to war.

    Research Muslim Peace Fellowship.
