Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic is Saying: And do not reckon those who are killed in Allah’s Way as dead; but, they are alive being sustained in the Presence of their Lord [3:169] .
ثُمَّ إِنَّ الرُّعْبَ وَ الْخَوْفَ مِنْ جِهَادِ الْمُسْتَحِقِّ لِلْجِهَادِ وَ الْمُتَوَازِرِينَ عَلَى الضَّلَالِ ضَلَالٌ فِي الدِّينِ وَ سَلْبٌ لِلدُّنْيَا مَعَ الذُّلِّ وَ الصَّغَارِ وَ فِيهِ اسْتِيجَابُ النَّارِ بِالْفِرَارِ مِنَ الزَّحْفِ عِنْدَ حَضْرَةِ الْقِتَالِ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِذا لَقِيتُمُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا زَحْفاً فَلا تُوَلُّوهُمُ الْأَدْبارَ The awe and the fear from the Jihad which is due to the Jihad, and being harmonious upon the straying, is straying in the Religion, and the spoilage for the world along with the humiliation and the lowliness, and in it is being Obligated the Fire due to the fleeing from the army during the inception of the fighting.
Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic is Saying: [8:15] O you who believe! When you meet those who disbelieve marching for war, then turn not your backs to them .
فَحَافِظُوا عَلَى أَمْرِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فِي هَذِهِ الْمَوَاطِنِ الَّتِي الصَّبْرُ عَلَيْهَا كَرَمٌ وَ سَعَادَةٌ وَ نَجَاةٌ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَ الْآخِرَةِ مِنْ فَظِيعِ الْهَوْلِ وَ الْمَخَافَةِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ لَا يَعْبَأُ بِمَا الْعِبَادُ مُقْتَرِفُونَ لَيْلَهُمْ وَ نَهَارَهُمْ لَطُفَ بِهِ عِلْماً وَ كُلُّ ذَلِكَ فِي كِتابٍ لا يَضِلُّ رَبِّي وَ لا يَنْسى Therefore be constant upon the Command of Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic in these places which the observance of the patience upon it is an honour, and a happiness, and a salvation in the world and in the Hereafter from terrible horrors and the fears, for Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic does not Care with what the servants are committing during their nights and their days, (although) being Knowledgeable of its subtleties (sensitivities), and all of that is in a Book.
My Lord -azwj neither gets confused nor does He -azwj forget. فَاصْبِرُوا وَ صَابِرُوا وَ اسْأَلُوا النَّصْرَ وَ وَطِّنُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ عَلَى الْقِتَالِ وَ اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَ الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا وَ الَّذِينَ هُمْ مُحْسِنُونَ Therefore, be patient and endure, and ask for the victory and resign yourselves for the fighting, and fear Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic, for Allah -azwj is with those who fear and those who are doing good deeds’.
