الآية رقم (158) - وَلَئِن مُّتُّمْ أَوْ قُتِلْتُمْ لإِلَى الله تُحْشَرُونَ

(158) - {And whether you die or are killed, unto Allah you will be gathered.}

In the previous verse, being killed in the cause of Allah (swt) is mentioned before death, but here it is vice versk. In the Holy Qur’an every word has a wisdom, has meaning, and a purpose. In the previous verse, the talk was about the result, and here the talk is about the general rule for all people; whoever dies normally or as a martyr, his soul gets out of his body, but normal death is more likely to happen, for that Allah (swt) mentions it first.

لإِلَى الله تُحْشَرُونَ{unto Allah you will be gathered.}: Here the end of the verse was changed from the previous verse. Allah (swt) does not say forgiveness and mercy, but rather mentions the final end. So you imagine Allah’s mercy, Allah’s giving, Allah’s pleasure, Allah’s forgiveness, and Allah’s wrath and punishment when the humans will be gathered to Allah (swt).
