Surah Aal-e-Imran, Verse 157 and 158

 ﷽
*Surah Aal-e-Imran, Verse 157:*

وَلَئِن قُتِلْتُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَوْ مُتُّمْ لَمَغْفِرَةٌ مِّنَ اللَّهِ وَرَحْمَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِّمَّا يَجْمَعُونَ

And if you are killed or die in the Way of Allah, forgiveness and mercy from Allah are far better than all that they amass (of worldly wealths, etc.).

*COMMENTARY*

Notice a beautiful little literary touch here. At first sight you would expect the second person here ("you could amass"), to match the second person in the earlier clause. But remember that the second person in earlier clause refers to the man of faith, and the third person in the last line refers to the unbelievers; as if it said: "Of course you as a man of faith would not be for hoarding riches: your wealth, - duty and the mercy of Allāh, is far more precious than anything the unbelievers can amass in their selfish lives."
﷽
*Surah Aal-e-Imran, Verse 158:*

وَلَئِن مُّتُّمْ أَوْ قُتِلْتُمْ لَإِلَى اللَّهِ تُحْشَرُونَ

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