On a March 11, 2023 show on Palestine Today TV (Palestinian Islamic Jihad), Gaza Islamic scholar Mustafa Qeshawi described the divine rewards that martyrs receive according to Islamic tradition. He explained that martyrs have all of their sins forgiven the moment the first drop of their blood is shed, are spared the torments of grave, can admit 70 of their family members to Paradise, receive 72 black-eyed virgins, receive a crown of glory in which each jewel is worth more than the entire world, ascend to Paradise as green birds who nest in chandeliers hung from Allah's throne. He emphasized that martyrdom is a badge of honor, and he said that everybody in Palestine is either a martyr or "designated" to become a martyr, adding: "We all dwell in the world of martyrdom."
Mustafa Qeshawi: "There are people who were chosen for martyrdom, and they are just waiting to carry out [the attacks]. Especially in Palestine, we are either martyrs or designated martyrs. We all dwell in the world of martyrdom.
[...]
"The mothers, fathers, and sisters of the martyrs should feel at ease. They have a place in Paradise, Allah willing.
[...]
"The only people who want to return to this world after they had moved to the Hereafter are the martyrs. But they do not want to return to see their parents or meet their sisters. They want to return to this world in order to be killed again and again.
[...]
"The prophet Muhammad specified six rewards for the martyrs. First, their sins are forgiven with the very first drop of their blood. They have no sins. Zero. They go to Allah compeletly clean of sins.
[...]
"They plead [before Allah] on behalf of seventy of their relatives – their mothers, fathers, sisters, wives, children... they will plead for them
[...]
"We are talking about a deal with Allah. They are married to 72 black-eyed virgins. A crown of honor is placed on the martyr's head. A jewel in that crown is finer than this world and all that is in it.
"The souls of the martyrs ascend to Allah in the bodies of green birds. These green birds roam in Paradise with the souls of the martyrs inside them.
"They roam in Paradise eating and drinking. At the end of the day, the return to nest in chandeliers hung from Allah's thrown. What prestige! What a great honor! By Allah, it is a badge of honor!"
