God has revealed in the Qur'an that those who die in His
way are in fact not "dead", but are alive in His presence. This
fact is related in verses as follows:
Do not suppose that those killed in the Way of God
are dead. No indeed! They are alive and well
provided for in the very presence of their Lord,
delighting in the favour God has bestowed on them,
rejoicing over those they left behind who have not
yet joined them, feeling no fear and knowing no
sorrow, rejoicing in blessings and favour from God
and that God does not let the wage of the believers
go to waste. (Surah Ali 'Imran: 169-171)
Do not say that those who are killed in the Way of
God are dead. On the contrary, they are alive but you
are not aware of it. (Surat al-Baqara: 154)
