Esteshhaad (إستشهاد) or martyrdom is dying in defense of Islam.
As for Islamic concept of Jihad (جهاد), there are two types. As concerns the Greater Jihad, which is an introspective journey to conquer your internal demons and follow the Divine Laws more closely than previously, there should be no violence that derives from this jihad. As concerns the Lesser Jihad, this is usually in the form of warfare between Muslims and Non-Muslims or other Muslims. This jihad is almost necessarily violent, unless the actor chooses to use non-violent protest or debate as his form of jihad.
Of course, many people who fight in a Lesser Jihad will die for Islam. When a person dies, he will be a Shaahed (شاهد) or martyr according to the concept of Esteshhaad. With the exception of suicide bombers, though, most "jihad-fighters" or Mujahedin (مجاهدين) do not fight with the intention of dying.
