From The Holy Quran 'Think not of those, who have been slain in the cause of Allah, as dead. Nay, they are living, in the presence of their Lord, and are granted giftsfrom Him,' (3: 170) 'Say not of those who are killed in the cause of Allah that they are dead; nay, they are living; only you perceive not. ' (2: 155) 'And if you are slain in the cause of Allah or you die, surely forgiveness from Allah and mercy shall be better than what they hoard. ' (3: 158) lAnd those who leave their homes for the cause of Allah, and are then slain or die, Allah will surely provide for them a goodly provision. And surely Allah is the Best of providers. ' (22:59) 1
