According to Shabestan news agency news agency department of Qom has published news that Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi during the inauguration ceremony of the first seminar named Ulema e Shaheed on the 30th December Saturday in Qom while pointing to the position of Shaheed has said that the Qur'an indicates the existence of martyr and not dead in two verses, which proves to be their highest position.
He said that the martyrs are alive that death will never come after them and they have apparently hidden from this material world but they are always alive.
Ayatollah Makarem Shirazi said that the martyrs are not dead and they are constantly in the state of worship and they are more likely to be on the higher place than others.
He further added that the martyrs give good tidings to the future, and invite the present humans in the world to return to the sacrificial way of life that can bring prosperity to the life.
This Marja Taqleed of Qum indicates the martyrdom and said that Islam has achieved success with this logic and the Islamic revolution had also become successful due to the martyrdom.
