Furthermore, Wyrd of Gawd has a point, if one truly believes in martyrdom, the "shahid", and they believe in the sunnah, then it's likely that they would be glad their friends passed on that day. Haven't you seen how glad some people get when people are martyred? They celebrate. I've seen tweets saying their friend/family/etc is now a bird of paradise when they were martyred.
I mean, the martyr is a pretty central part of Christianity and Islam. Look at Jesus, for example.

Plato had defined Man as an animal, biped and featherless, and was applauded. Diogenes plucked a fowl and brought it into the lecture room with the words,
"Behold Plato's man!"
