{ Have you not seen those who left their homes by the thousands, wary of death, and Allah said to them: Die! and then brought them back to life? Indeed Allah is of bountiful favor towards people, but most people are not grateful. So fight for the sake of Allah, and know that Allah is hearing, knowing } Al-baqara 243-244

The word of the Mighty and Sublime: { So fight for the sake of Allah, and know that Allah is hearing, knowing } . Most expositors say that this was addressed to this ummah; its meaning is: Fight in obedience to Allah Most High, and do not run away from death like how those you heard about ran away; running away is of no use to you.
