وَلَئِن قُتِلْتُمْ فِي سَبِيلِ اللّهِ {And if you are killed in the cause of Allah or die}: This is a general law; whoever is killed defending his land, his home, his honor and his money, then he is a martyr.
لَمَغْفِرَةٌ مِّنَ اللّهِ وَرَحْمَةٌ {then forgiveness from Allah and mercy}: The forgiveness of Allah (swt) is more important and greater, and the mercy of Allah (swt) for the one who is martyred is represented by making him alive with his Lord, as He (swt) said, this is solace for the hearts of the martyr’s families.
