AB  - Unlike Judeo-Christianity, Islam does not contain a core of martyrdom. Rather, it occurs in three disparate areas: war/jihad, asceticism, and Shi'ism. I examine the relationship between jihad and martyrdom and their classical and contemporary meanings.
N1  - This paper is part of my MA thesis (Islamic Studies, University of Toronto, 1997).
