يا ايها الذين امنوا لا تكونوا كالذين كفروا وقالوا لاخوانهم اذا ضربوا في الارض او كانوا غزى لو كانوا عندنا ما ماتوا وما قتلوا ليجعل الله ذلك حسرة في قلوبهم والله يحيي ويميت والله بما تعملون بصير

O ye who believe! Be not like the Unbelievers, Who say of their brethren, When they are travelling Through the earth or engaged In fighting: "If they had stayed With us, they would not Have died, or been slain." This that God may make it A cause of sighs and regrets In their hearts. It is God That gives Life and Death, And God sees well All that ye do.
