think not of those slain in the way of allah as dead. indeed they are living and with their lord they have their sustenance rejoicing in what allah has bestowed upon them out of his bounty jubilant that neither fear nor grief shall come upon the believers left behind in the world who have not yet joined them.
ولا تحسبن الذين قتلوا في سبيل الله أمواتا بل أحياء عند ربهم يرزقون فرحين بما آتاهم الله من فضله ويستبشرون بالذين لم يلحقوا بهم من خلفهم ألا خوف عليهم ولا هم يحزنون
