The Holy Quran 3:171 — Surah Ali 'Imran

Arabic text

۞ يَسْتَبْشِرُونَ بِنِعْمَةٍ مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَفَضْلٍ وَأَنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُضِيعُ أَجْرَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

Translation

They (the martyrs) rejoice about the bounty from Allaah (His pleasure at their actions) and His grace (the rewards and high ranks He gives them) and because Allaah certainly does not waste the rewards of the Mu'mineen (Instead, Allaah multiplies the reward many times).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The martyrs are not dead but alive: that is, death cannot be stopped by staying at home; but a person is thereby deprived of that death which ought to be called not death but eternal life. After death the martyrs receive a special kind of life which other dead people do not receive. They are granted a distinguished nearness to Almighty Allah.
