Former Vice President Of International Union Of Muslim Scholars (IUMS) Mauritanian Islamic Scholar Muhammad Al-Dadow Al-Shanqiti: The Most Noble Death A Person Can Have Is While Waging Jihad; It Does Not Matter If Your Body Is Torn To Pieces – When You Are Buried, The Soil Consumes The Flesh And Skin Anyway; This Is Not A War Against Israel, But The Infidel World; The Forces Of Evil Have Gathered Against Hamas

Former Vice President of the IUMS (International Union of Muslim Scholars) Mauritanian Islamic Scholar Muhammad Al-Dadow Al-Shanqiti said in a September 11, 2024 address uploaded to the Global Committee for Supporting the Prophet on YouTube that this is a war not just against the Zionist entity but against the infidel world in its entirety. He continued to say that the most noble death a person can have is while waging Jihad. Al-Shanqiti said that "no harm is done if a body is torn to pieces, he is dead anyway." He further explained that it doesn’t matter if it happens in one moment or ten years while the body is decomposing.

Muhammad Al-Dadow Al-Shanqiti: "This is another chapter in the war that is ongoing since 1948 and to this day. This is not a war against the Zionist entity, but against the infidel world in its entirety. This is why the entire forces of evil have gathered against [Hamas].

[...]

"Everybody dies when his time comes, but at times, people die for no reason – in their sleep, while awake, because of a disease, a car accident, or a bombardment. These are all deaths, but the most noble death a person can have is while waging Jihad for the sake of Allah.

[...]

"No harm is done to a person if his body is torn to pieces. He is dead anyway, and when he is buried in the ground, the soil will consume his flesh and skin and will cut his bones and limbs.

[...]

"If you rummage graves, you will see that the soil has consumed those body parts, and the bones have been rendered necrotic. So it does not matter if it happens in the ground, after ten years, or in one moment or ten minutes."
