Fatah Central Committee member Abbas Zaki: "Allah is witness: There is no woman in the world like the Palestinian woman. The woman who makes sounds of joy for the Martyr and sings songs of the revolution for the groom (i.e., Martyr). This woman lets her son go to fight with a rock, and she gives him the rock while knowing what her son's fate will be. However, this woman is placed on a pedestal because she responded to the homeland, and she begins to feel that she has gained respect and high status in society when her son dies as a Martyr."

A Martyr's funeral is considered his wedding to the 72 Virgins in Paradise in Islam.
