The Holy Quran 9:111 — Surah At-Tawbah

Arabic text

۞ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ ٱشْتَرَىٰ مِنَ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنفُسَهُمْ وَأَمْوَٰلَهُم بِأَنَّ لَهُمُ ٱلْجَنَّةَ ۚ يُقَـٰتِلُونَ فِى سَبِيلِ ٱللَّهِ فَيَقْتُلُونَ وَيُقْتَلُونَ ۖ وَعْدًا عَلَيْهِ حَقًّا فِى ٱلتَّوْرَىٰةِ وَٱلْإِنجِيلِ وَٱلْقُرْءَانِ ۚ وَمَنْ أَوْفَىٰ بِعَهْدِهِۦ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ ۚ فَٱسْتَبْشِرُوا۟ بِبَيْعِكُمُ ٱلَّذِى بَايَعْتُم بِهِۦ ۚ وَذَٰلِكَ هُوَ ٱلْفَوْزُ ٱلْعَظِيمُ

Translation

Indeed Allaah has purchased from the Mu'mineen their lives and wealth so that they may have Jannah (in exchange). They fight in Allaah's path (in Jihaad for Allaah's pleasure), killing (their enemies) and being killed. This (promise of Jannah for those who sacrifice their lives and wealth for Allaah's Deen) is Allaah's promise that is binding in the Torah, the Injeel and the Qur'aan. Who (none) fulfils their promise better than Allaah? So rejoice with your bargain that you have made (because Allaah shall grant you much more in exchange for very little). This (to submit to Allaah) is the supreme success.

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The profitable trade of the believers: what trade could be more profitable, and what success more glorious, than that Allah, the Most Holy, should become the buyer of our worthless souls and perishable wealth!
