Not Dead but Alive

Do not say of those slain in Allah’s cause, ‘They are dead.’ Rather, they are alive, though you do not perceive it.

2:154And call not those who are slain in the way of Allah "dead." Nay, they are living, only ye perceive not.

3:169Think not of those, who are slain in the way of Allah, as dead. Nay, they are living. With their Lord they have provision.

They rejoice in what Allah has granted them.

3:170Jubilant (are they) because of that which Allah hath bestowed upon them of His bounty, rejoicing for the sake of those who have not joined them but are left behind: That there shall no fear come upon them neither shall they grieve.
