Ayat No. 156

یٰۤاَیُّهَا الَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا لَا تَكُوْنُوْا كَالَّذِیْنَ كَفَرُوْا وَ قَالُوْا لِاِخْوَانِهِمْ اِذَا ضَرَبُوْا فِی الْاَرْضِ اَوْ كَانُوْا غُزًّى لَّوْ كَانُوْا عِنْدَنَا مَا مَاتُوْا وَ مَا قُتِلُوْاۚ-لِیَجْعَلَ اللّٰهُ ذٰلِكَ حَسْرَةً فِیْ قُلُوْبِهِمْؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ یُحْیٖ وَ یُمِیْتُؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ بِمَا تَعْمَلُوْنَ بَصِیْرٌ(۱۵۶)

Translation

O you who have believed, do not be like those who disbelieved and said about their brothers when they traveled through the land or went out to fight, "If they had been with us, they would not have died or have been killed," so Allah makes that [misconception] a regret within their hearts. And it is Allah who gives life and causes death, and Allah is Seeing of what you do.

Translation

And if you are killed in the cause of Allah or die - then forgiveness from Allah and mercy are better than whatever they accumulate [in this world].

And whether you die or are killed, unto Allah you will be gathered.

فَبِمَا رَحْمَةٍ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ لِنْتَ لَهُمْۚ-وَ لَوْ كُنْتَ فَظًّا غَلِیْظَ الْقَلْبِ لَا نْفَضُّوْا مِنْ حَوْلِكَ۪- فَاعْفُ عَنْهُمْ وَ اسْتَغْفِرْ لَهُمْ وَ شَاوِرْهُمْ فِی الْاَمْرِۚ-فَاِذَا عَزَمْتَ فَتَوَكَّلْ عَلَى اللّٰهِؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ یُحِبُّ الْمُتَوَكِّلِیْنَ(۱۵۹)

Translation

So by mercy from Allah, [O Muhammad], you were lenient with them. And if you had been rude [in speech] and harsh in heart, they would have disbanded from about you. So pardon them and ask forgiveness for them and consult them in the matter. And when you have decided, then rely upon Allah . Indeed, Allah loves those who rely [upon Him].

Ayat No. 160

اِنْ یَّنْصُرْكُمُ اللّٰهُ فَلَا غَالِبَ لَكُمْۚ-وَ اِنْ یَّخْذُلْكُمْ فَمَنْ ذَا الَّذِیْ یَنْصُرُكُمْ مِّنْۢ بَعْدِهٖؕ-وَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ فَلْیَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُؤْمِنُوْنَ(۱۶۰)

Translation

If Allah should aid you, no one can overcome you; but if He should forsake you, who is there that can aid you after Him? And upon Allah let the believers rely.

Ayat No. 161

وَ مَا كَانَ لِنَبِیٍّ اَنْ یَّغُلَّؕ-وَ مَنْ یَّغْلُلْ یَاْتِ بِمَا غَلَّ یَوْمَ الْقِیٰمَةِۚ-ثُمَّ تُوَفّٰى كُلُّ نَفْسٍ مَّا كَسَبَتْ وَ هُمْ لَا یُظْلَمُوْنَ(۱۶۱)

Translation

It is not [attributable] to any prophet that he would act unfaithfully [in regard to war booty]. And whoever betrays, [taking unlawfully], will come with what he took on the Day of Resurrection. Then will every soul be [fully] compensated for what it earned, and they will not be wronged.

Ayat No. 162

اَفَمَنِ اتَّبَعَ رِضْوَانَ اللّٰهِ كَمَنْۢ بَآءَ بِسَخَطٍ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَ مَاْوٰىهُ جَهَنَّمُؕ-وَ بِئْسَ الْمَصِیْرُ(۱۶۲)

Translation

Why [is it that] when a [single] disaster struck you [on the day of Uhud], although you had struck [the enemy in the battle of Badr] with one twice as great, you said, "From where is this?" Say, "It is from yourselves." Indeed, Allah is over all things competent.

Translation

And that He might make evident those who are hypocrites. For it was said to them, "Come, fight in the way of Allah or [at least] defend."

And Allah is most Knowing of what they conceal -
