[Nisa
4:95] The Muslims who stay back from holy war without proper excuse, are not
equal to the Muslims who fight in Allah's cause with their wealth and lives;
Allah has bestowed higher ranks to the warriors who strive with their wealth
and lives, than those who stay back; and Allah has promised good to all; and
Allah has favoured the warriors upon those who
stay back, with a great reward.
[Nisa
4:96] Ranks (of honour)
from Him, and forgiveness, and mercy; and Allah is Oft Forgiving, Most
Merciful.

[Nisa
4:97] The angels ask the people whose souls they remove while they were
wronging themselves, "What were you engaged in?" They reply,
"We were powerless in the land"; the angels say, "Was Allah’s
earth not spacious enough for you to have migrated in it?" The
destination for such is hell; and a very wretched place to return.
[Nisa
4:98] Except those who were forcibly subdued among men, and the women and
children, unable to devise a plan and unaware of the way.
[Nisa
4:99] So for such, it is likely that Allah will pardon them; and Allah is Most
Pardoning, Oft Forgiving.
[Nisa
4:100] Whoever migrates for Allah's cause will find much shelter and abundant
capacity in the earth; and whoever leaves his home, migrating towards Allah
and His Noble Messenger, and death seizes him, his reward then lies entrusted
with Allah; and Allah is Oft Forgiving, Most Merciful.
Section
15 [Nisa 4:101] And when you travel in the land, it is no sin for you to curtail some of your obligatory prayers; if you fear that disbelievers may cause you harm; undoubtedly the disbelievers are open enemies to you. |
