Ibn e Arabi (ra) says the Biggest Shahid is Allah Himself. And those He has chosen as Shahids, like His Ambiya alayhis salaam. Beloved Rasoolallah (s) is the leader. This is His choice, His favour.

In everything that is Mashood, Zahir and Batin, Maanvi or Vajoodi - Allah is the Asal, Real Mashood. He is Asal Mashood because He is Asal Moujood. He is Haqeeqat ul Haqeeqat. He is Wajib ul Wajood. All else is Itabaar, Imkaan and Mumkinaat.
