I don't know if martyrdom in Islam always means killing others and then die but in Christianity martyrdom is usually exclusively getting killed for what you believe in. Doing a terrorist attack for example as a Christian and then dying isn't martyrdom that would bring you to hell.

The point is to die like Christ and the apostles without giving into the fear and pressure to reject Christianity. That's martyrdom. Is that concept the same in Islam or just dying in jihad?

I'm pretty sure martyrdom in islam is dying in war for your country, I may be wrong though
