If Muslims truly believed their good deeds were enough to get into heaven, why would they need martyrdom?
Martyrdom is the loophole, the cheat code paradise, an admission that deep down, they know they will never be righteous enough on their own.
The martyr doesnโt prove confidence in his righteousness.
He proves the opposite.
A man certain his good deeds are enough doesnโt need a shortcut to paradise.
Muslim martyrs are the weakest of men among them.
