Of them Allah says:
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
“Do not think that those, who were killed for Allah's sake
are dead. Nay, they are alive. With their Lord they have
provision. Jubilant (are they) because of that which Allah hath
bestowed upon them of His bounty, rejoicing for the sake of
those that have not yet joined them because they have
nothing to fear or grieve over”.(Koran iii.169-170)
It is said that the Prophet (pbuh) swore that no Muslim who
had died for his beliefs would want to come back to life for a
single hour, even if he could own the whole world, unless he
could return and fight for Allah and be killed a second time.
The Muslims realised that their defeat had been caused by
their disobedience to the Prophet (pbuh). The Koran tells us
that the Muslims had been tested by Allah at Uhud and had
failed but that Allah forgave them their weakness.
In the Name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful
“Some of you there are that desire this world, and some of
you there are that desire the next world. Then He turned you
from them, that He might try you; and He has forgiven you;
and Allah is bounteous to the believers”. (Koran iii.145)
People living nowadays should learn from the lessons
learned by the early Muslims at Uhud. Disobedience to the
Prophet (pbuh) and love for the things of this world caused
their defeat. The same can happen to us as well. Even if we
have no battle like Uhud to fight, we can still die for Allah's
sake by fighting what is bad in ourselves. When the Prophet
(pbuh) came back from a battle he said to his men, 'We have
returned from the lesser war to the greater war.' He meant by
this that the struggle that goes on within every human being
to become a better person is the more difficult battle.
