A Martyr killed in the name of Islam.

Often terrorists believe they will become shaheed if they go an kill some innocent people with a bomb strapped around their chest.

A more accurate definition of a shaheed would be a person who threw himself in front of a gunshot pointed toward a little baby (regardless of faith) because to protect the innocent (among other things) is Islaamic
the person who grabs the suicide bomber and blows themselves up before the bomber could get on the bus
