O ye who believe! Be not like the Unbelievers, who say of their brethren, when they are travelling through the Earth or engaged in fighting: "If they had stayed with us, they would not have died, or been slain." This that Allah may make it a cause of sighs and regrets in their hearts. It is Allah that gives Life and Death, and Allah sees well all that ye do.

(They are) the ones that say, (of their brethren slain), while they themselves sit (at ease): "If only they had listened to us they would not have been slain." Say: "Avert death from your own selves, if ye speak the truth."

Think not of those who are slain in Allah's way as dead. Nay, they live, finding their sustenance in the presence of their Lord;

Those who leave their homes in the cause of Allah, and are then slain or die,- On them will Allah bestow verily a goodly Provision: Truly Allah is He Who bestows the best provision.

Therefore, when ye meet the Unbelievers (in fight), smite at their necks; At length, when ye have thoroughly subdued them, bind a bond firmly (on them): thereafter (is the time for) either generosity or ransom: Until the war lays down its burdens. Thus (are ye commanded): but if it had been Allah's Will, He could certainly have exacted retribution from them (Himself); but (He lets you fight) in order to test you, some with others. But those who are slain in the Way of Allah,- He will never let their deeds be lost.

信道的人们啊！你们不要象不信道的人一样；当他们的同胞出门病故，或阵亡前线的时候，他们说：“假若他们同我们坐在家里，那么，他们不致病故或阵亡。”（你们不要象他们那样说）以便真主以此为他们心里（所独有）的悔恨。真主能使死人复活，能使活人死亡。真主是明察他们的行为的。

他们不肯参加战斗，却对自己的教胞说：“假若他们顺从我们，他们不会阵亡。”你说：“你们为自身抵御死亡吧，如果你们是诚实的。”

为主道而阵亡的人，你绝不要认为他们是死的，其实，他们是活着的，他们在真主那里享受给养。

为真主而迁居，然后被杀害或病故者，真主必赏赐他们佳美的给养； 真主确是最善于给养的。

你们在战场上遇到不信道者的时候，应当斩杀他们，你们既战胜他们，就应当俘虏他们；以后或释放他们，或准许他们赎身，直到战争放下他的重担。事情就是这样的，假若真主意欲，他必惩治他们；但他命你们抗战，以便他以你们互相考验。为主道而阵亡者，真主绝不枉费他们的善功，
