[quote]No human has a perfect knowledge and God looks at our intentions not deeds, right? In other words if you intend to go for Jihad but get killed by some lunatic as soon as you set foot out of your home, you will be considered martyr.

Now, let’s say, if a suicide bomber is convinced that his action is right and he blows himself up, killing many innocent people in the process, would he be considered martyr? Similarly, if a scientist considers his work to be part of his faith/jihad and builds weapons of mass destruction (as we are instructed to do in Surah Anfal) that will eventually be used to kill innocent people, would he considered martyr before God. Please note both suicide bomber and scientist is convinced that their actions are correct and they are doing it solely to achieve the pleasure of Allah.  I understand killing of innocent people is not allowed in Islam under any circumstances. Let’s assume suicide bomber and scientist, however, were not aware of this fact. What fate would they meet on other side of life? Will they be considered martyrs before God in here after? Let me reiterate the fact that no human has perfect knowledge and can never even achieve perfect knowledge. Muslims scholars have constantly disagreed on such issues.[/quote]
